20 Park View, Eagley, Bolton, BL1 7LE

Welcome to Strawberry Cottage…

Nestled within the tranquil conservation area of Eagley Bank, Strawberry Cottage is a beautifully renovated Grade II listed stone cottage that effortlessly combines period character with the comforts of modern living. Lovingly and sympathetically restored by the current owners to an exceptional standard, this charming home has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, including a full electrical re-wire, new plumbing, upgraded insulation, bespoke heritage windows, doors and heating systems.

Set across three floors, the accommodation offers a perfect blend of traditional features and contemporary styling. Highlights include a welcoming lounge with multi-fuel stove, a stylish dining kitchen, a versatile basement cinema room with concealed utility area, downstairs W.C., two bedrooms, and a luxurious four-piece bathroom. Outside, the professionally landscaped front garden provides a truly stunning retreat, complemented by a private rear courtyard. Ideally positioned just a short stroll from local amenities, transport links and the picturesque Eagley Nature Reserve, Strawberry Cottage is a rare opportunity to move into a turnkey home in one of the area's most desirable settings.

Step Inside...

Enter through the newly rebuilt porch and into the inviting lounge, where herringbone Amtico flooring and elegant panelled walls create a warm and sophisticated first impression. The charming fireplace, complete with multi-fuel stove, forms the focal point of the room and is perfect for cosy evenings throughout the year. Bespoke shelving and discreet storage have been thoughtfully incorporated into the alcoves, maximising both character and practicality.

Beyond the lounge lies the beautifully appointed dining kitchen. Stone flooring with underfloor heating combines timeless appeal with everyday comfort, while the soft sage-green shaker-style units are perfectly complemented by solid wooden butcher's block worktops. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and wine fridge, alongside clever storage solutions and plumbing provision for a range cooker beneath a concealed extractor. A stable door opens onto the private rear courtyard.

An open doorway from the kitchen leads to a useful storage area with pantry shelving, where stairs lead to the fully tanked cellar. Currently used as a cinema room, this versatile space offers excellent flexibility for modern lifestyles. Bespoke full-height cabinetry cleverly conceals a utility area, providing space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional household appliances. A convenient downstairs W.C., fitted with a Burlington corner basin, completes the lower ground floor.

Off to Bed...

Follow the plush carpeted staircase up, where the first floor comprises two bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom and access to a boarded loft providing valuable additional storage.

The master bedroom is a peaceful king-sized sanctuary, enhanced by vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and a traditional sash window framing delightful views over the gardens and surrounding greenery. The second bedroom offers a versatile space that works well as a single bedroom, nursery, home office or dressing room.

The bathroom is an exceptional feature and far larger than typically found in a cottage of this style. Beautifully appointed with a Burlington four-piece suite, the space blends traditional elegance with modern luxury. Crisp white metro tiling complements a generous walk-in rainfall shower, while the freestanding claw-foot bath provides the perfect place to unwind. A vanity unit with integrated storage, traditional high-level W.C. and column-style heated towel radiator complete this impressive room.

Outside Oasis...

To the rear of the property is a private enclosed courtyard with secure gated access, enjoying sunshine from sunrise through to mid-afternoon.

The true highlight, however, is the remarkable front garden. Lovingly designed and professionally landscaped, it provides an idyllic extension of the living space. Beyond the charming picket fence and Indian stone pathway, a thoughtfully designed garden unfolds across three distinct zones.

A winding gravel path meanders through colourful cottage-style borders filled with colourful perennial planting, before leading to a stunning central seating area. Raised planters offer the perfect opportunity for growing fresh herbs and salad crops, while a beautiful water feature creates a peaceful focal point, flanked by benches for quiet moments of relaxation.

Rose-covered arches with integrated lighting connect each section of the garden, drawing the eye towards the rear stone patio and wildlife pond. Designed with contemporary living in mind, both the lighting and water feature can be controlled remotely via smartphone, while mains electricity has been installed at the far end of the garden, creating an ideal space for outdoor working, entertaining or future garden enhancements.

The Location...

Eagley Bank is a hidden gem, tucked away within a peaceful hamlet yet perfectly positioned for convenient access to everyday amenities, excellent transport connections and beautiful countryside walks.

Steeped in local history, this charming conservation area features an attractive collection of stone cottages originally associated with the nearby cotton mills. Today, it is renowned for its strong sense of community, picturesque surroundings and unique character. The Grade II listed homes on Park View enjoy protected status, helping to preserve the distinctive appearance and timeless charm of this special neighbourhood for generations to come.
