Coldwells Fold, Thurlstone

A CHARMING 1800s PERIOD STONE-BUILT TERRACED COTTAGE, WITH PERIOD FEATURES INCLUDING EXPOSED BEAMS AND STONEWORK AND TRADITIONAL FINISHES THROUGHOUT WHILE HAVING BEING BEAUTIFULLY UPGRADED BY THE CURRENT VENDOR. LOCATED IN THE HIGHLY REGARDED VILLAGE OF THURLSTONE AND PRESENTED WITH NO UPPER VENDOR CHAIN, THE PROPERTY IS WELL SITUATED FOR LOCAL AMENITIES INCLUDING PRIMARY SCHOOLS, VILLAGE BAKERY, TWO PUBS AND IN SHORT DISTANCE, THE TRANS PENNINE TRAIL. The ground floor features a living/dining room, with a staircase rising to a spacious double bedroom boasting fitted wardrobes, a chest of drawers, and a cast iron fireplace insert, with a window seat enjoying views over the village and courtyard. The bathroom includes a three-piece white suite with a mains-fed shower, and a cupboard houses the Worcester boiler and plumbing for a washing machine. Externally, a flagged hardstanding provides space for al fresco dining and off-street parking, with a brick-built storage room across the courtyard offering practical storage for bicycles or logs. Period homes of this character, offering a ready-to-move-in interior, are rarely available to the market, so an early viewing is highly recommended.
