Proceed past the Freemasons (5* restaurant with rooms) and the property can be found on the right-hand side.
Services - Mains supplies of gas, electricity, water and drainage. Gas central heating from a Worcester condensing combination boiler. There is electric underfloor heating in the central area of the kitchen diner. Council tax is payable to RVBC Band D. The tenure is Freehold.
Accommodation - The property has PVCu double glazed windows and main door. The conservatory was replaced in 2021 with heat insulating Pilkington glass.
Location - Wiswell is a highly sought after village conveniently situated between Whalley and Clitheroe, enjoying quick access to the major A-roads and the motorway network.
Accommodation - The most used entrance to the cottage is to the side, opening to a wide and welcoming reception hall; staircase rising to the first floor. The traditional limestone floor runs through to the kitchen diner, conservatory, utility and two-piece cloakroom (Villeroy & Boch washbasin and low suite wc). The utility/boot room has bespoke cabinetry in oak including shoe shelves and general storage cupboards. An oak counter surrounds a Belfast type pot sink with a swan-neck chromed mixer tap. Either side of the sink there are spaces for a washing machine and dryer. The sitting room evokes the typical cosy cottage feel with exposed pitched pine ceiling beams and a wood planked floor. In pride of place sits a Stovax log burner to keep you toasty and warm in the cooler months. It rests on a stone hearth with matching stone cheeks, fireback and surround, with an over-mantle above. From the window a delightful view across to Stonyhurst College and the tree-lined slopes of Kemple End. The kitchen diner has been treated to bespoke cabinetry by the esteemed specialist Mark Wilkinson featuring radiused corners and in-frame doors. The style is Shaker with some fine subtle detailing and the hand-painted cabinets contrast superbly with a tall unit in polished pippy oak which accommodates an integrated fridge and freezer. Next to it an integrated dishwasher. Set within an oak surround with a distinctive over-mantle is a Falcon range cooker with an induction hob, fan oven and conventional oven. Above it an extractor filter. The counters and upstands are in granite which also lines the range recess and windowsills. Reassuringly traditional and particularly appealing. The conservatory is a favourite place for the owners cats, French doors opening to the garden. The original frame and glass was replaced in 2021 by Croft, with heat insulating glass.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms. The front facing master has a delightful view across a meadow with Stonyhurst College and Kemple End in the backdrop. A generous double it has painted timber wardrobes and cupboards. Bedroom 2 is a large single with built-in storage beneath the attic bedroom staircase. Housed within a linen cupboard is the central heating boiler. From its window you have a lovely view of the tree-lined slopes of Wiswell Moor. The stylish bathroom has limestone flooring and ceramic wall tiling. From its window a pleasant view of Wiswell Moor, sheep often to be seen grazing the fields. It comprises a concealed cistern wc, wall hung vanity washbasin and a large Daryl quadrant cubicle with a Mira thermostatic shower. Towels warm on a chromed ladder radiator.
From the landing a staircase rises to a super converted attic bedroom, light entering from Velux windows on front and rear roof profiles. From the front a wide vista stretching from Stonyhurst to Grindleton Fell. There are three eaves storage access doors and a painted wide plank floor contrasting with the stripped wood roof purlins. Such a relaxing space and sure to impress.
Outside - Not only is the cottage deceptively spacious but you will also be pleasantly surprised by the beautiful gardens. To the front is a stone walled raised garden with Indian stone flagging and smooth pebbles with a mature apple tree and a stunning arrangement of rose blooms. At the side there is a private pebbled area which is the perfect place to catch the setting sun. The rear garden is an absolute treat with a lawn, well stocked country garden style borders and facing south - south/west it enjoys a sunny aspect. There is a stone garden shed as well. On-road parking is available along Back Lane. A true gem of a cottage.
Certainly one of the best you'll see. Viewing naturally is strongly recommended.
Viewing - Strictly by appointment with Anderton Bosonnet - a member of The Guild of Property Professionals.
