Cottage for sale in Mount Pleasant, Edgworth, Bolton BL7

This is a beautiful and cosy, three-bed end cottage, showcasing contemporary style paired with characterful charm, nestled into the hillside of Edgworth with rural views towards Chapeltown. Mount Pleasant is a lovely hamlet of homes where stone cottages sit amongst leafy surrounds and a traditional cobbled lane. Positioned just off Bolton Road in central Edgworth, this lovely cottage is tucked away at the end of the lane and benefits from a quiet and secluded location yet is only a short stroll to nearby village amenities.

A brief summary of the accommodation includes a front lounge, open aspect kitchen-diner, utility cupboard, three bedrooms and main bathroom, while externally is a front yard and an elevated patio to the rear.

Cosy Vibes With A Contemporary Touch

Step inside and the cosy vibes immediately bring you into your own little world of peace and tranquillity. The characterful lounge welcomes you in, where a stone chimney breast and traditional beam work give a nod to the country cottage style. Despite its character, this cottage has been given subtly modernised, with neutral decor and other contemporary touches including a wooden “floating” staircase, oak doors and lovely flooring. And the front window frames a picturesque outlook over the rolling countryside.

An oak door leads you from the lounge into the kitchen-diner at the rear, where the characterful yet contemporary decor continues – white marbled-style tiling grounds the space and creates a fresh bright feel. An exposed stone window frame gives a rustic touch, while the matte wall tiling, two-tone grey kitchen units, white worktop, and Velux window bring in that attractive yet subtle modern touch. Integrated appliances within the kitchen include an electric oven and hob, microwave, coffee machine, sink with mixer tap and drainer. And there’s ample space for dining too! As well as the dining aspect, this back room also provides a large storage cupboard, handy for keeping shoes, coats, and other household bits and bobs.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

Up the floating stairs from the lounge and the master bedroom sits at the front, with a high ceiling and generous footprint creating a welcoming, bright and airy feel, and like the lounge a quaint window frames views across the countryside. The master also benefits from characterful beam work and modern Velux windows, continuing the blend of characterful and contemporary charm.

Two more bedrooms are found to the rear. These are currently used as a home office and snug, and a dressing room with wardrobe storage, which are suitable uses for this style and size of property, providing flexibility in their usage.

The bathroom sits between the bedrooms, with a unique ceiling adding more character and a contemporary design again brings this element of the home into the 21st century, with two-tone walls featuring white marbled-style tiling, and a 4-piece suite, including a wash basin and WC, plus a bath and separate walk-in shower – offering a choice for bathing which is rare for a property of this nature.

Outside Space

A quaint communal area at the front provides a space for some outside storage if required, and perhaps a spot for a table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee on the weekends? At the back of the home is a raised patio/decking area, perfect for enjoying some chilled time outside with family and friends when warmer days are upon us. And of course, the lovely views can be appreciated from outside as well!

Edgworth Village

At Mount Pleasant you can roll out of bed for a Sunday stroll around the neighbouring Wayoh reservoir, and then stop at the Black Bull or Strawberry Duck for a hearty pub lunch! Perhaps pop into The Barlow, Edgworth’s Community Hub, to catch up with the friendly locals. Edgworth offers a number of village amenities, from several other country pubs, restaurants, a local butcher, post office, pharmacy, hair and beauty salon, and the famous Holdens & Co village shop.
