Property description
Situated off Whalley Road within a picturesque cluster of stone-fronted cottages, this charming property boasts breathtaking views towards Stonyhurst College and Kemple End to the rear, along with a recently refurbished interior. Perfectly combining traditional character with modern comforts, the home features a newly renovated interior, including new flooring, a new front door and windows to the front aspect, a new fireplace with a log-burning stove, high-speed fibre internet installation, exposed oak beams, and general décor and improvements throughout.
Located within walking distance of St Leonard's Primary School and St Augustine's Secondary School, and offering excellent links to the A59, the vibrant village of Whalley, and the market town of Clitheroe, this property is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a home in the heart of the Ribble Valley.
Internally, you are welcomed by an entrance vestibule with tile effect flooring, leading into a cosy yet spacious living room. The oak-effect flooring and beautifully finished brick and slate fireplace with multi-fuel burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A front-facing window bathes the space in natural light, while under-stairs storage enhances functionality. To the rear, the kitchen/diner features a range of contemporary base and eye-level units, tiled flooring, a four-ring gas hob with extractor, an electric oven, integrated washing machine and dishwasher, and space for a fridge/freezer and dining table. The recently installed concealed boiler is a thoughtful upgrade, and a stable door provides direct access to the rear garden via the initial patio area.
On the first floor, a spacious and airy landing provides access to all the first-floor rooms and a large, boarded loft, offering ample storage. The principal bedroom, located at the front of the property, is a well-appointed retreat complete with a walk-in wardrobe, lovely views towards Painter Wood, and additional storage cleverly integrated over the stairs. The second bedroom offers equally appealing accommodation, with stunning countryside views of Longridge Fell and beyond to the rear, as well as ample space for wardrobe furniture. The three-piece house bathroom features a panelled ‘P’-shaped bath with an overhead shower, a sleek vanity wash basin, and a dual-flush WC, all finished to a high standard.
The rear garden is a true highlight of the property, thoughtfully landscaped and extended to create a multi-level outdoor haven. A mix of crazy-paved patio areas, gravelled seating spaces, and a manicured lawn provides the perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining, all framed by idyllic 180-degree views stretching from Kemple End and Stonyhurst College to Pendle Hill. To the front of the property, there is a small paved yard with low flower beds, two designated parking spaces, and a detached single garage with an up-and-over door, ensuring ample storage and convenience. The parking spaces are located adjacent to the garage and in front of the property.
With its picturesque views and nearby walks, gorgeous interiors, quiet off-road location, and beautifully landscaped garden, this cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a harmonious blend of traditional charm and modern living. The property is located in the highly sought-after village of Billington, just a short distance from the village of Whalley. Whalley provides a wide range of facilities and amenities, including shops, churches, a medical centre, a library, recreational areas, a junior school, excellent bus and rail networks, and convenient access to the A59, offering excellent commuter routes across East Lancashire and into Yorkshire.
