About this listing

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and quaint 17th-century, two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage, occupying a delightful position in the very heart of the picturesque village of Chipping. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and regarded as one of the gateways to the stunning Forest of Bowland, this exceptional home offers a unique blend of historic charm, characterful accommodation and idyllic countryside living. Steeped in centuries of history, the cottage is believed to date back to the 1600s and retains much of the charm and character expected of a property of its age. Lovingly cared for and sympathetically improved by the current owner, the home has been transformed into a charming residence that perfectly balances period features with modern-day comfort. Every room reflects the warmth and personality of the property, creating a home that is both practical and full of charm. Whether as a permanent residence, countryside retreat or holiday home, the property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy village life in one of Lancashire's most desirable rural locations. To the rear, the cottage opens directly onto Stanley Court, an attractive gated courtyard reserved for residents and enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect. This peaceful and private setting provides a wonderful extension of the living space and offers a secure and attractive environment in which to relax. Immediately outside the kitchen is a private patio area belonging exclusively to the cottage, providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining guests or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings. Within the courtyard are additional useful outbuildings including a storage shed, wood store and traditional coal bunker, all adding to the practicality and charm of the property. One of the property's most enchanting features is its beautiful cottage garden. Secluded and surprisingly generous in size, the garden is situated beyond the courtyard and enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting bordered by mature deciduous trees that provide colour, interest and privacy throughout the seasons. The historic stone wall of the neighbouring church forms the garden's southern boundary, creating a truly unique and atmospheric backdrop that enhances the sense of heritage and tranquillity. This delightful outdoor space offers ample opportunity for gardening enthusiasts, wildlife lovers and those simply seeking a quiet place to unwind. Whether enjoying a summer afternoon beneath the trees, cultivating flower borders or entertaining family and friends, the garden provides a magical setting rarely found with properties of this nature. A substantial garden shed further enhances the practicality of this exceptional outdoor space. The village of Chipping itself is one of Lancashire's hidden gems, renowned for its historic character, welcoming community and stunning surrounding countryside. Residents enjoy a range of local amenities including traditional inns, cafés, village shops and community facilities, all within easy walking distance. For lovers of the outdoors, the nearby Forest of Bowland offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring some of the most beautiful landscapes in the North West. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, history and lifestyle on offer.Disclaimer: These particulars, whilst believed to be correct, do not form any part of an offer or contract.
