Charming Double-Fronted Cottage With Expansive Garden & Fabulous Countryside Views In Turton

Nestled in the picturesque setting of Blackburn Road, between the desirable villages of Edgworth and Darwen, this exquisite three-bedroom, double-fronted character cottage was once separate quarryman’s cottages, now thoughtfully combined to create one unique and generously proportioned home. The result is a residence that blends historical charm with modern-day comfort, offering spacious living accommodation, period features, and an idyllic rural backdrop—ideal for families, couples, or those seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to amenities.

Warm Welcome: Entrance & Reception Rooms
The home's double-fronted façade is a timeless nod to its cottage heritage, offering instant curb appeal and setting the tone for the inviting spaces that lie within. Step through the entrance porch into the first of two beautifully appointed reception rooms—a sitting/dining room that showcases period features such as a character fireplace, flanked by stone columns and set against a bold teal wallcovering. Walnut-effect flooring adds warmth underfoot, while a front-facing window floods the room with natural light—perfect for both relaxed evenings and dining with a view.

A glazed door leads to a second, generously sized lounge, where two large windows frame sweeping views of the lush countryside beyond. Furniture is arranged around another striking stone fireplace with grate, while the soft carpeting adds comfort to this restful retreat.

Both reception rooms offer exceptional flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. The interiors seamlessly blend classic character with contemporary touches, neutral tones, and quality finishes—providing an elegant yet homely canvas ready for personalisation.

Heart of the Home: The Stylish Breakfast Kitchen
To the rear of the home, you'll find a sleek and modern breakfast kitchen—designed to impress and built for function. Featuring an array of integrated Neff and Bosch appliances, including twin ovens, an induction hob with extractor, dishwasher and two side by side fridge freezers, this kitchen is a culinary haven. Grey concrete-effect cabinetry pairs effortlessly with generous Corian worktops and a matching breakfast bar—perfect for morning coffee or casual meals.

A window and door lead directly out to the rear garden, while the kitchen’s thoughtful layout and designer details—create a space that's both practical and visually striking.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with rear garden access, complete with plumbing for laundry appliances, white country-style units topped with a glossy dark laminate, and a stainless-steel sink beneath the window. A convenient downstairs WC with vanity basin completes the ground floor.

Upstairs Retreats: Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Upstairs, three bedrooms provide peaceful sanctuaries for rest and relaxation. The main bedroom is a standout space, offering countryside views from two windows, a full wall of sliding wardrobes (white with central mirrored panels), and a chic leather-effect feature wall behind the bed. A private en-suite adds a luxurious touch, boasting a double walk-in shower with glazed screen, travertine tiling, WC, and contemporary vanity unit.

Bedroom two is another generous double with twin front-facing windows and a bold blue geometric wallcovering behind the bed—ideal for guests or family. Bedroom three is a smaller single room currently used as a music/sitting room but would also make an excellent nursery or dedicated home office.

The modern family bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, stylish wall-hung vanity unit, WC, and striking copper-bronze floor tiles—ensuring comfort and convenience for all.

Generous Outdoor Space & Parking Potential
The property truly excels when it comes to outdoor living. The private rear garden offers an expansive green space for children’s play, entertaining, or quiet relaxation, with ample room for alfresco dining or cultivating your dream garden. Beyond the main garden lies an additional plot of land to the side, offering exciting potential for further landscaping, vegetable beds, or even the construction of a garage (subject to planning consent).

Importantly, the property also offers the opportunity for valuable gated off-road parking—an increasingly sought-after feature in this area.
