Marsden Farm Cottage, Marsden Farm Court, Nelson

A truly stunning three-bedroom family home offering what is arguably the perfect combination of period character and modern-day living, tucked away within a peaceful cul-de-sac setting just off Walton Lane.

With the original house dating back to circa 1850, Marsden Farm Cottage has all the presence and charm you would hope to find in a property of its age. However, having been comprehensively transformed and modernised in 2022, the home combines its historic origins with the specification, efficiency and finish associated with a much newer property.

The result is something particularly special – a home where you can enjoy the character of a traditional stone property alongside the comforts of a modern build, with the additional reassurance of a new-build-style house warranty. Since the work was completed, the property has also benefited from the installation of a brand-new central heating system.

Internally, the ground floor has been designed around a fantastic central kitchen, with two substantial reception areas positioned to either side. This creates an incredibly sociable arrangement while still allowing each area to have its own identity.

Whether it's family life, entertaining friends or simply having separate spaces in which to relax, the layout works brilliantly.

The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of the home and connects the principal living areas, creating a modern flow that contrasts beautifully with the property's traditional origins.

A separate utility room and downstairs WC add the everyday practicality required from a genuine family home.

Moving upstairs, the sense of space continues with three generously proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom benefits from its own private en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for children, guests or anyone requiring a dedicated working space.

One of the more unusual features is the substantial first-floor landing. Far more than simply a hallway between bedrooms, its proportions allow it to function almost as an additional room in its own right – perfect for a reading area, study space or quiet sitting area.

Outside is where Marsden Farm Cottage becomes even more impressive.

The wraparound gardens have been beautifully landscaped, creating a series of different spaces to enjoy throughout the day. Multiple patio areas provide plenty of choice for outdoor dining and entertaining, while established planting brings an abundance of colour, charm and wildlife into the garden.

Traditional stone walling surrounds the grounds, creating an exceptional degree of privacy and making the garden feel wonderfully enclosed – particularly appealing for a family with children or anyone who simply wants a peaceful outdoor space.

A large private driveway and detached garage provide excellent parking and storage, completing the practical side of the property.

Its position tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac further adds to the appeal, providing a peaceful setting for what is an incredibly well-rounded family home.

Marsden Farm Cottage offers something genuinely difficult to replicate – the charm and history of a home dating back to 1850, comprehensively transformed for modern living in 2022. With three large bedrooms, two substantial reception areas, beautifully landscaped private gardens, generous parking and a detached garage, this is a truly special family home combining the very best of old and new.

A beautiful stone and oak entrance porch provides a fitting introduction to this exceptional family home, combining the charm of its original 1850s construction with the extensive modernisation and additions completed in 2022.

The entrance features external lighting, an access handrail and a secure three-point locking entrance door, opening directly into the central kitchen.

Kitchen
Positioned at the heart of the property, the kitchen is a fantastic space that perfectly demonstrates the combination of traditional character and contemporary living found throughout Marsden Farm Cottage.

Originally forming part of the 1850s building, the kitchen was comprehensively refurbished in 2022 and now offers a beautiful modern fitted design, complete with an excellent range of integrated appliances.

A substantial central island provides the focal point, incorporating a four-ring induction hob with integrated extractor, additional storage and plenty of preparation space.

Further integrated appliances include an electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler and fridge/freezer, alongside a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink with spray mixer tap.

Beautiful oak internal doors with decorative engraved glazing provide access to the dining room, main lounge and utility room, while the staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation.

A beautiful wood-burning stove, installed in August 2023, sits upon a slate hearth with a tiled surround, creating a fantastic focal point and a wonderfully cosy atmosphere during the colder months.
