Buxton Road, Furness Vale, SK23

Tucked away in the heart of Furness Vale, this stone-built end-terrace cottage offers a homely and well-balanced space across two floors, with pleasant views to the rear and a thoughtful layout inside.

The ground floor includes a cosy living room with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove set into the chimney breast – ideal for winter evenings. To the rear, the kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space, and comes fitted with a fridge freezer, washing machine, hob and oven. A door leads out to the garden, which looks out over open countryside and provides a private space to sit out or hang the washing.
