Duncan Street, Horwich, BL6

The House:
Presented to an excellent standard and offering particularly versatile accommodation is this three storey former weavers cottage. To the first floor there are two double bedrooms, the second of which is well designed and extensively fitted with bedroom furniture and complemented by a stunning bathroom. The ground floor plays host to a versatile reception room which is currently used as a dining room, although is frequently deployed as the main living room within this design; and to the rear a contemporary dining-kitchen with many integral appliances, fixed dining area and impressive feature lighting. To the lower ground floor there are formal converted cellar rooms, one of which is used as a store and study, and the rear which has the great benefit of French doors opening directly to the rear courtyard and used as the primary living area. The rear courtyard itself is an inviting area, is west facing and also includes timber double gates should off-road parking be desired.

We have been advised by our vendor that the property is Freehold and the Council Tax Band is C. 

The Area:
This conservation area is steeped in local history and both Nelson Street and Duncan Street include the three-storey former weavers' cottages where residents lived in the rooms above and made their living by weaving in the cellar rooms below. Over the years these properties have been developed and now offer an excellent size and versatility. The location is tucked just outside Horwich town centre and therefore has excellent access to the many independently owned shops and services within the centre. The town also thrives due to the excellent transport infrastructure which includes motorway and rail links with a consistently strong feature being the surrounding hills and countryside which include a portion of the West Pennine Moors and are ideal therefore for people who enjoy spending time outdoors.
