OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 15TH MARCH 12:00 - 13:00. Please contact the office to register your interest. This distinctive family residence must be viewed to fully appreciate its delightful location and the extent of the accommodation on offer. Tucked away in a peaceful location along a quiet country lane adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool canal, Culvert Cottage occupies a generous corner plot with charming countryside views as well as featuring unique and delightful four bedroomed accommodation. Dating back to the 1700s and historically part of the Lord Derby estate, Culvert Cottage retains the original Lord Derby cast iron guttering and downpipe to the front of the property. Originally the cottage was occupied by the workers who, with their horses, towed the barges on the nearby canal. The stone bar, separating the kitchen and dining room, houses a millstone at its centre, which originates from the old mill in Parbold. Situated in the picturesque village of Newburgh, renowned for its prestigious and character properties, the area boasts a variety of services, including an excellent school. Nearby villages such as Parbold provide an array of amenities, including shops, country pubs, a bistro/wine bar, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and a newly opened Co-op convenience store.
The area benefits from comprehensive local transport links, with the M6 and M58 motorways a short drive away, and local railway stations in neighbouring Parbold and Ormskirk providing access to Liverpool and Manchester.
The property itself is deceptively spacious, offering ample family accommodation with a charming "cottage" feel throughout, retaining many character features such as exposed beams and stonework.
Accessed from the front, the property boasts three reception areas. The cosy lounge with an open fire set within a charming stone fireplace offers far-reaching views over local farmland. The second reception room, also at the front, features an inset solid fuel burner within an exposed brick fireplace. The reception space continues into a large family/dining room adjacent to the kitchen, with a large window flooding the room with natural light and a door leading to the enclosed rear garden.
The kitchen features a charming painted range of wall, drawer, and base units with contrasting worktop surfaces and integrated appliances. A large stone-faced breakfast bar with a woodblock top divides the kitchen and family/dining area, complemented by a built-in window seat.
Upstairs, bedroom two has built-in wardrobes, shelved storage, an exposed beam, and stunning views over local farmland. There are three additional double bedrooms with exposed beams and beautiful rural views. The generous bathroom features a three-piece suite, including a corner shower, bath, and pedestal basin, along with a separate WC.
The corner plot extends to approximately ¼ acre, with an enclosed rear garden featuring a lawned area with shrub borders. A courtesy door from the garden leads to a larger-than-average garage, with an additional garage integral to the house. Ample off-street parking is available for multiple vehicles.
The front garden is also laid to lawn, with the majority of the plot extending to the side, featuring mature trees and hedge borders.
We are advised that the tenure is freehold. Council tax band is D.
