A stunning stone cottage positioned on a high calibre road and offering some impressive period characteristics. Countryside access, practically on the doorstep.

The Home:

Fleet Street has long been regarded as one of the town’s leading roads and plays host to a pleasing variety of dwellings. This particular stretch of the road is a picturesque group of cottages dating back to around 1777.

The cottage has been extended to the rear, which provides two reception rooms, and please note that our clients have refitted the kitchen approximately four years ago. There are an abundance of period features including beamed finish to ceilings, exposed stone, vaulted ceilings to the first floor, and stone walls under a slated roof.

Please note that the lovingly maintained rear garden is held on a lease from the local council at a rent of £85:00 per annum. This is the same for the cottages within this vicinity.

This is the first cottage within the road that our company has marketed which benefits from a useful tanked cellar which is a great addition. In summary, this quintessential cottage will no doubt appeal to those discerning buyers wishing to purchase a home in a quality environment, which allows excellent access to the well renowned local countryside.

The sellers inform us that the property is Freehold.  The garden however if leasehold from the council with a tenure of 25 years from 16.04.2012. The amount we pay for this is £85 pa.

Council Tax Band B - £1,693.33

The Area:

Fleet Street is a superb and popular Street just off Chorley Old Road in Horwich and is predominantly a mix of 1930’s homes and older stone cottages. The road is essentially a cul-de-sac and therefore passing traffic is kept to a minimum.

Many people would be attracted to the road due to the superb and immediate access to the countryside. A simple glimpse at the satellite image will show the vast array of green space. Fleet Street is just under a mile outside Horwich town centre which includes a good variety of mainly independently owned shops and services whilst the key motorway and train links are around 2.5 - 3 miles away. The town attracts many people seeking this excellent commuter belt but who also enjoy spending time outdoors.
