A truly exceptional four-bedroom cottage, beautifully presented and ideally located in a sought-after area. Believed to date back to the late 1700s and once home to the historic Knuzden Brook pub, this unique property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted into a spacious family residence. Blending character charm with modern living, the home has been finished to an impressive standard throughout, offering both style and comfort in equal measure.
Situated along Knuzden Brook, this home enjoys a convenient location close to a range of local amenities, popular eateries, and highly regarded schools. Excellent transport links are also within easy reach, with regular bus routes providing direct access to Blackburn, Oswaldtwistle, and surrounding areas.
You are welcomed into the home via an inner porch that opens into a spacious and inviting entrance hall. The ground floor boasts an impressive open-plan layout, enhanced by elegant stone flooring with underfloor heating throughout.
To the right, you’ll find a generously sized kitchen, beautifully appointed with light cabinetry, solid oak worktops, and a central island-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A range of high-quality integrated appliances are included, such as a wine cooler, Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer.
The kitchen flows effortlessly into the main reception room, a warm and stylish space featuring recessed spotlights and a striking stone fireplace with a log-burning stove, creating a cosy yet refined atmosphere.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a second reception room, mirroring the charm of the first with its own stone fireplace and log burner. This space opens seamlessly into a spacious dining area, which in turn leads into a bright and airy garden room. Finished in a neutral colour palette, the garden room offers uninterrupted views of the beautifully landscaped rear garden, providing a serene setting for relaxation or entertaining.
Just off the garden room is a well-equipped utility room, offering additional space for white goods, and a convenient wet room.
The first floor offers four generously sized double bedrooms, each finished to an exceptional standard. Bedrooms two and three feature a calming neutral décor, plush fitted carpets, and attractive stone feature chimney breasts, adding warmth and character. Bedroom four showcases beautifully restored original solid wood flooring and a charming decorative open fireplace, providing a unique and timeless touch.
The main bedroom continues the theme of understated elegance, complete with fitted carpet, a striking stone feature wall, and access to a spacious en-suite bathroom. The en-suite is fitted with a luxurious four-piece suite, including a walk-in shower and a freestanding bath. Contemporary tiling paired with stylish brass fixtures delivers a perfect blend of period character and modern sophistication.
Completing the first floor is the stylish family bathroom, fitted with a modern four-piece suite including a corner shower, bathtub, and a distinctive heated towel rail. Contemporary wall and floor tiling add a sleek, clean finish to this well-appointed space.
Externally, the property benefits from a neat and well-maintained front garden that adds to its charming curb appeal.
To the rear, a substantial and fully private garden provides an ideal space for outdoor living. Designed for ease of maintenance, the garden features both a spacious patio area and an expansive lawn. The size of the rear garden is particularly impressive, and in our opinion, offers potential for the development of an additional dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
