Lavender Cottage, 7 Middleton, Cowling BD22 0DQ

Standing in an area of similar period dwellings which possibly date back as early as the 1830’s, this interesting property is constructed in natural coursed Yorkshire stonework covered with a heavy grey slate roof and forms part of the Middleton community, an unspoilt satellite hamlet only a mile away from the centre of Cowling village, and a minutes’ walk from the primary school.

The cottage provides light and airy accommodation of considerable charm and character which includes a good sized Sitting Room with a solid fuel stove, a Dining Kitchen, 2 Double Bedrooms and a modern Bathroom, with the well maintained garden having a favourable westerly aspect with views over and access to the park at the rear.

The cottage stands close to open fields with the Pennine Way walking route passing close by, but is also within 5 minutes’ drive of nearby Cross Hills which provides a wide range of everyday amenities and South Craven Secondary school. There is also good access to East Lancashire and the M65 motorway; ideally located for those seeking a rural lifestyle without being too isolated.
