Church Street, Adlington, Lancashire, PR7

TD0461 - Dating back to the late 1800s, this stone-built cottage combines period charm with practical modern living. From its exposed beams and traditional fireplace to its generous outdoor space and gated driveway, it offers both character and convenience in equal measure. This is a home that will appeal to those seeking a blend of heritage and functionality in the heart of Adlington.

The property enjoys a prime position within the village, just a short walk from Adlington railway station, which provides direct links into Manchester and beyond. For those who love the outdoors, the Leeds–Liverpool Canal is close by, offering miles of scenic towpaths ideal for walking and cycling, while the open countryside and reservoirs of Rivington are only minutes away. Adlington itself is a thriving and well-connected community. Lower Adlington offers shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés, while Upper Adlington adds supermarkets, doctors, and a library. The nearby M61 gives quick access to Chorley, Bolton, and Manchester, making this a location that balances village lifestyle with excellent commuter links.

The living room immediately showcases the home’s character, with exposed beams and a traditional feature fireplace creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A large front window brings in natural light, highlighting the period details and enhancing the sense of space. To the rear sits the kitchen and dining room, a well-proportioned space fitted with rustic-style units and a practical layout. There is plenty of worktop space and storage, along with ample room for a dining table – making this the social heart of the home, whether for family meals or entertaining guests. Upstairs, the accommodation continues with two double bedrooms, both offering good proportions and versatility. Each room is well-lit and can be adapted to suit different needs, whether as bedrooms, a guest room, or even a home office. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite including a corner bath with shower over, finished with tiled surrounds.

The cottage is set back from the road behind a stone wall and gated entrance, with a driveway and carport providing secure off-road parking. To the rear, the garden is a real highlight – more spacious than many homes of this type, it combines a paved courtyard area with further garden space, creating multiple options for seating, entertaining, or planting. Established greenery adds character and privacy, while the overall layout is low-maintenance and easy to enjoy. Please note: as is traditional with cottages of this age, there is a right of way for two neighbouring properties across part of the garden.
