Description

This extended period mid-terrace cottage, built before 1900, is brimming with charm, character and individuality. Beautifully updated in recent years with a new roof, freshly repainted exterior, brand-new flooring in the living room, new bathroom, new carpets and high-quality Neff appliances in the kitchen, the home offers a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary style. Set in the heart of Higher Green, Astley, the location feels like a countryside hamlet yet is just minutes from excellent commuter routes. Tucked away on a quiet road, the property enjoys stunning open aspect views to both the front and rear, giving it the sense you could be miles from anywhere. Horses grazing in the field beyond the garden add to the idyllic backdrop, while Astley Moss and the Bridgewater Canal are close by, making this the perfect setting for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Despite the semi-rural feel, supermarkets, schools and local amenities in Leigh and Tyldesley are within easy reach, and the guided busway offers a direct route into Manchester. The cottage is approached via a neat south-facing front garden and opens into a bright entrance porch. Step inside and you're welcomed by a stylish living room, full of character, with a striking exposed brick chimney breast and log-burning stove at its heart. The décor is light and inviting, complemented by a glass-balustrade staircase, modern flooring and a large window that floods the space with natural light. At the rear, a fabulous open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the true hub of the home. The shaker-style kitchen is finished with solid wood worktops and brand-new integrated appliances, while a central island provides extra storage and prep space. A lantern-style roof and wide bi-folding doors fill the dining area with light and open directly to the garden, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor flow. The rear garden is a highlight, cleverly designed for both style and practicality. A decked terrace and artificial lawn make it ideal for entertaining, while mature planting adds colour and privacy. At the far end, a contemporary garden room provides a versatile retreat — ideal as a home office, gym, studio or simply a cosy hideaway with views over the fields. Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-presented bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom. The principal bedroom features a decorative fireplace and bespoke storage, while the second bedroom enjoys far-reaching countryside views. The bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard, with a claw-foot freestanding bath, rainfall shower, vanity unit and heated towel rail. The top floor completes the home with a spacious third bedroom and ensuite. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, filling the room with light and countryside views, while fitted wardrobes and a modern shower room add comfort and practicality. Properties in Higher Green rarely come to market, and this is a particularly special one — full of charm, brimming with character, and set in an outstanding location that balances peace and practicality.
