Dukes Row, Aspull, Wigan, WN2

A quintessential 18th century listed cottage brimming with character and period features.

Dukes Row is just a small group of cottages, enjoying the benefits of open fields to the front and rear, and being practically located for important transport connections.

Features particularly worthy of note, which are rare within similar cottages, are the sizable front and rear gardens, a driveway and a detached stone garage immediately within its curtilage.

The accommodation includes a formal lounge with an impressive fireplace and a spiral staircase to the first floor. The well-planned dining kitchen to the rear enjoys views towards the fields.

To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the master of which includes original, stripped and sealed floorboards and an excellent provision for storage. Each of these bedrooms are served by a pleasant shower room.

To the second floor, there is a versatile loft room, which has been used as an occasional bedroom and otherwise provides an ideal space as a study, hobby room and accessible storage.

In summary, this property offers something that is a break from the norm and will suit those wishing to enjoy the many benefits of cottage living.
