Continue past the Spread Eagle Hotel bearing right at the road fork towards Bolton by Bowland. After approximately two miles you'll reach the Copy Nook Inn. Turn left directly after passing the Inn. Where the road forks, bear right up Tinklers lane and proceed for approximately a quarter of a mile. You'll first see Corgill Farm and Cottages. Corgill Lodge is located next to Corgill Farmhouse (no longer a working farm).

Services - Mains supplies of electricity and water. Drainage is to a septic tank shared with Corgill Farm, within the curtilage of Corgill Farm. Council tax is payable to RVBC Band E. The tenure is Freehold subject to a yearly rent charge of £4.00.

Additional Features - The property has PVCu double glazed sash windows except in the garden room which has double glazed sash windows in pitched pine. Thermostatic controlled programmable electric wall radiators. Exquisite pitched pine and stonework detail are significant features of this property.

Location - The village centre of Bolton by Bowland is approximately one mile distant where you'll find a post office/local village store, the Coach & Horses (boutique restaurant with letting rooms), cricket field and primary school. It takes approximately fifteen minutes car journey into the centre of Clitheroe where you'll find a wide range of shopping and social facilities.

Accommodation - Approached from a spacious boot room, resplendent in pitched pine including its oversized sturdy door. Pitched pine features extensively throughout the property, a main component of its DNA along with excellent stonework. The hub of the property is a large dining hall which allows access to every other room. It connects well with the kitchen through a wide opening in the wall establishing a welcome link. The bespoke kitchen cabinetry is crafted from oak with pitched pine counters and a fluted drainer in green hued stone, matching the counter upstands. There is a "Shaws" (original since 1897) twin bowl butler sink with a "Barber Wilsons" chromed mixer tap and space for a fridge. Totally in keeping, there is an Esse range cooker (990EL, electric) with both a traditional iron hotplate and a ceramic hotplate, twin ovens and a grill. The light and airy garden room exudes a welcome sense of relaxation with glazing on three elevations and two rooflights in its vaulted ceiling, with exposed supporting timbers. Delightful views overs its garden and paddock with distant green vistas beyond the stone walled curtilage. A door opens to a paved patio offering a tempting spot for a mid morning coffee which could be quite enjoyable as it catches the early sunshine. Oozing period charm, the bay windowed sitting room has two further side windows and a centrally positioned chimney-piece. Quite magnificent, it contrasts perfectly with the oak wall panelling and when the weather turns chilly you can stay toasty and snug sat by its log burner with glass doors. The ceiling is beamed and there is a window-seat in the bay. It is so easy to dial back the years and imagine you are in 1900!

Near the bathroom you'll see a shelved airing cupboard and both bedrooms; one with dual aspect windows, the other with built-in wardrobes. They share a luxuriously appointed three-piece bathroom of classic Edwardian elegance with fittings by Barber Wilsons (London 1905). Both stylish and functional it comprises wc, wash stand (pot basin on chromed legs with a swan neck mixer tap), a glazed shower cubicle with a thermostatic shower valve. Part tiled walls and a chromed ladder radiator to warm your towels.

Outside - With a stone walled curtilage to the road, a multi car drive with pink granite chippings leads to a substantial L-shaped stonebuilt garage with twin doors for car access and a personnel side door, protected from the weather by an overhanging slate roof. It has two roof lights and a wc. Concrete pavers edged with stone sets create a perimeter footpath increasing in size to form patio areas. A stone retaining wall edges the garden which has a five-barred gated access from the road and another to the adjoining paddock (0.7 acres or thereabouts) which also has its own access gate from the road.
