Are you in search of a charming & characterful 3-bedroom cottage in Sharples?
Tucked away, just off Andrew Lane, in the sought-after area of Sharples, Old Eagley Mews is a charming stone mews property blending historic character with modern convenience.

Dating back approximately 270 years, this unique home is part of a conversion completed in 1984, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. The property is available for the first time in over 30 years, and with no onward chain, it’s perfect for those looking to make a quick and smooth transition.

Park up by the garage or in front of the home and make your way to the front porch, where you’re welcomed by the characterful stone façade.

Welcome Home
Step inside, and the charm continues with a sitting room that features a beamed ceiling, mullioned windows, and original-style timber doors with traditional latches. This cosy space, perfect as a sitting room or even a study, immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home.

From here, move through to the living room, which mirrors the same rustic décor with exposed beams. The focal point is an original stone fireplace with a black grate, around which the furniture is thoughtfully arranged. A window looks out onto the front garden, and there is an additional door providing another access point to the front. A staircase leads up to the first floor, adding to the natural flow of the ground floor layout.

Next, flow into the kitchen, which is fitted with timber wall and base units, a contrasting worktop, and an integrated oven with a 4-ring gas hob. A stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath a rear window, offering views of the garden, while practical features like plumbing for a washing machine and space for a freestanding fridge-freezer make this kitchen as functional as it is charming. A door leads out to the rear patio, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen also leads through to the dining room, which is neutrally decorated and serves as the heart of the home, connecting all the main living areas. From the dining room, a door loops back around into the sitting room, completing the flow throughout the ground floor and making this home ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Bedroom Bliss
Upstairs, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with charming character details. The main bedroom includes part-vaulted ceilings and fitted furniture such as wardrobes, a dressing table, and drawers, with windows overlooking the front garden.

The second bedroom, also facing the front, shares the same neutral décor and beamed ceiling. The third bedroom offers a vaulted ceiling, a Velux window, and a built-in cupboard beneath the eaves.

A 5-piece bathroom serves the bedrooms, featuring a WC, bidet, pedestal sink, bath, and a separate corner shower enclosure. The bathroom is part-tiled around the sink, shower, and bath, carpeted, and includes a Velux window.

Having been in the same family since 1992, the property has been meticulously maintained, with some areas updated over the years. While certain elements may now seem a bit dated, the asking price reflects this, and the home is ready for its new owners to make their mark. Notably, a new combi boiler was installed in April 2024, providing peace of mind for years to come.

Step Outside

Step out into the front garden, which features a neatly maintained lawn, a paved patio, and cobbled areas perfect for low-maintenance outdoor relaxation. At the rear, there is a smaller patio space looking over the courtyard. The property also benefits from a private driveway and a garage located nearby.

On Your Doorstep
Make the most of the nature on your doorstep, with woodland walks along the river accessible two-minutes away.

Also walkable from the door is Bromley Cross, with its array of shops including a Sainsbury’s Local, Co-op, mini market, boutique clothes shop and railway station. Astley Bridge also offers a range of local shops and supermarkets within walking distance.

For trips out with the children, head to the Vue Cinema and Nuffield Gym in The Valley.

Families are perfectly placed for a number of local schools, including The Oaks and Sharples Primary schools along with Sharples High School, Canon Slade, and Thornleigh Salesian College.

Professionals can commute with ease, within 15-20 minutes’ drive of the M60/M65 motorway network. For rail travel, catch a train from Bromley Cross or Hall i'th’ Wood stations (15 minutes' walk or a five-minute drive) where direct trains connect you with Manchester city centre. Frequent bus services run on the hour to Bolton town from down Ashworth Lane.
