2 bed end terrace house for sale

Birches Road, Turton, Bolton BL7

Dating back to the early 1800s and tucked away in the charming area of Turton Bottoms, Cobble Cottage is a beautifully refurbished two-bedroom stone property offering the perfect balance of character, comfort, and countryside living. Positioned between the sought-after villages of Edgworth and Chapeltown, the property enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting with woodland views to the front and access to stunning nature trails just moments away. Blending original features with tasteful modern upgrades, the home features a cosy lounge, stylish kitchen-diner, practical utility, two bedrooms, and a characterful bathroom — plus a sunny rear garden ideal for relaxing outdoors. A rare opportunity for those seeking rural charm with everyday convenience nearby.

Living Space

The lounge oozes warmth and character, centred around a brilliant, exposed stone chimney breast with log burner and oak ceiling beams — creating a cosy retreat ideal for snug evenings or hosting with rustic charm. The large front window frames a tranquil green outlook over the woodland lane, setting a peaceful tone the moment you step inside.

To the rear, the cottage-style kitchen-diner is both attractive and practical, with a solid oak worktop, cream shaker cabinetry, Belfast sink, and integrated appliances, including oven, hob, extractor, microwave and undercounter fridge with freezer shelf. A second exposed stone wall and tiled floor further enhance the period charm, while the understairs cupboard offers additional storage.

The adjoining utility room adds valuable space and day-to-day functionality — perfect for muddy boots and paws after countryside walks, with space and plumbing for the washer/dryer and plenty of room for coats, shoes, and extra storage. Character continues up the stairwell with exposed beams and more stonework adding a warm, natural aesthetic throughout.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

The generous main bedroom in Cobble Cottage spans the whole width of the home, and like the lounge offers lovely woodland views and ample space for a double bed and comprehensive furnishings, along with another exposed stone feature wall. The second bedroom is perfectly suited as a home office, nursery, or guest room and includes a built-in storage closet above the stairs.

The bathroom blends old and new with tasteful character panelling around the bath, a feature basin, WC, and a bath with shower over — complemented by metro tiled finishes and charming touches like exposed stonework that elevate the overall country cottage feel.

Outside Space

To the rear, a cottage-style garden offers a sun-soaked spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink in peaceful leafy surroundings. With birdsong and greenery all around, it’s a lovely extension of the cottage’s tranquil atmosphere — especially appealing for those who enjoy being outdoors. Please note that the garden is shared and is not included on the property title, though the property owner has the right to use the land.

On-street parking is available at the front and side of the house, and to the front of the cottage you’ll find a small, enclosed seating area — an ideal spot to sit back with a coffee or glass of wine and enjoy the peaceful leafy green surroundings.

Location

Cobble Cottage is positioned on the quiet and picturesque Birches Road in Turton Bottoms, sitting in one of the area’s most peaceful and naturally beautiful pockets. Despite the rural charm, it remains highly convenient — just a short drive to the village centres of Edgworth and Bromley Cross, which offer shops, cafes, pubs and transport links. For those who love the outdoors, Jumbles Country Park and the nearby Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs are on your doorstep, offering scenic trails, wildlife, and year-round beauty in every direction.
