4 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Lancaster Lane, Parbold, Wigan WN8 | £ 595,000

Property Description

Standing in an elevated position within the Lancaster Lane Conservation Area, this charming, detached cottage of historical interest is brimming with original features. Dating back to circa 1600, Croasdale Cottage has, over the years, been sympathetically extended to create a four-bedroom family home set in just under an acre of established gardens a short distance from the village centre.

The property is brimming with period features and include the mullion windows to the front, exposed raze-edged ceiling and wall beams, tongue and groove latch doors and open brick ingle fireplaces with stone hearths. In more recent times the property has been undergone many changes to enhance the conveniences required for modern family life and these have been mindfully merged into the surrounding features.

A timber and glazed door to the front elevation opens into the lounge with stone mullion window to the front and which features exposed beams and a sandstone ingle fireplace with York stone hearth and surrounding a Yeoman wood burning stove. A corner cupboard houses the energy meters and the wood-block flooring continues through to both the cosy dining room, also with mullion window to the front, and the dual aspect sitting room which features a niche window, a brick ingle fireplace having a timber mantle over and stone hearth.

The triple aspect breakfast kitchen with exposed stone to one wall has French windows which open directly onto the rear sun terrace and a side exit door with a “bull’s eye” glazed inset. The range of limed oak wall and base units are fitted to three walls and include drawer banks, bookshelves and glazed display cabinets having granite effect work-surfaces over and coordinating wall and floor tiling. An inset one and a half bowl stainless steel single drainer sink unit is inset beneath the window to the front and has a mixer tap and boiling water tap. The Aga with double oven and two hotplates provides the cooking facilities and there is also a two-ring inset electric hob and Siemens Microwelle Plus oven for added convenience along with an integrated microwave oven. Also integrated is an automatic dishwasher and fridge freezer, there is plumbing for an automatic washing machine and the Potterton gas central heating boiler is housed in one of the cabinets.

An inner hallway meanders past the turned staircase to the first floor, with a high-level window over, through to the lobby with semi vaulted ceiling, quarry tiled flooring and steps to the rear door and open porch. Just off the hall, the cloakroom has been fitted with a contemporary style two-piece white suite comprising a wash-stand set Butlers sink and a close coupled w.C..

The split-level landing has an array of original features and gives access to the four double bedrooms via pine tongue and groove doors. All of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes or cupboards, semi vaulted ceilings and central heating radiators. The dual aspect master bedroom also incorporates a partially tiled en suite with shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and low flush w.C. Plus a chrome ladder style heated towel rail.

The family bathroom, with a window overlooking the rear garden, is fitted with a four-piece white suite to include a roll-top claw-foot bath, pedestal wash basin and a low flush w.C. There are exposed beams, pine split level flooring and a chrome ladder style heated rail to warm the towels.

Outside, a Tarmacadam driveway provides parking for several cars and has a beautiful magnolia tree to the side lawn area. Opposite, stone steps lead up to the detached “bothy style” outhouse which houses the oil tank and provides useful garden equipment storage. A cobbled path continues past the five-barred gate which opens to the split-level sun terrace bordered by a dry-stone retaining wall. Stone steps rise to the secluded, extensive lawn and woodland gardens which has specimen planting.

Dating back to the late 1600’s and being one of the older properties in the area, Croasdale Cottage formed part of the Richard Durning Estate and has held several names during its existence including “Chauffeurs Cottage”.

This charming family home is also situated in one of Lancashire’s most popular villages with commuter rail links to Southport, Wigan and Manchester as well as being ideally located for easy access to the motorway networks. This combined with excellent local schools and outstanding village amenities make viewing the property an absolute must.
