'Glorious' 400 year old cottage and meadow hit the market

Corner Cottage, in Bowland Bridge is set in an “idyllic” rural position surrounded by countryside, and is said to offer “timeless charm” and “rich heritage”.

The property features four bedrooms, a range of period details, and a “striking monkey puzzle tree” in the garden.

According to the listing, the cottage is “tucked away” but has neighbouring cottages close by.

While enjoying “a real sense of rural tranquillity”, it is also positioned to benefit from village community and traditions, particularly with the meadow opposite, which has reportedly hosted local events.

A choice of two living areas, both with log burners, is highlighted by the listing as providing options for family use or entertaining.

At the back of the cottage, an extended kitchen has been designed to maintain the period character while “seamlessly blending contemporary comfort”.

Buyers will find both a formal dining room and practical utility spaces, including a downstairs toilet, a laundry room, and a storage room.

Three of the four bedrooms are described as doubles, each with views, alongside a further single room.

A family bathroom, a separate shower room, and an additional upstairs toilet are provided. Broadband provision is noted, with high-speed fibre available.

Corner Cottage’s outdoor space includes “established and picturesque grounds”.

The rear garden has a lawn, patio seating area, log store, and shed, all with mature borders and anchored by the mentioned monkey puzzle tree.

The front area presents paved paths and planted borders, serving as a space for barbeques and, reportedly, evening sun.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the sale is the inclusion of an additional meadow, approximately one acre in size, situated opposite the cottage now for sale.

Described in the listing as ideal for “lifestyle enjoyment and local tradition”, the field forms part of the sale.

Parking for several vehicles is available off-road, and the house is also supplied by a private borehole within its grounds.

There is no onward chain. The property’s Energy Performance Certificate rating is E and the current council tax band is F.

The listing calls the sale “a rare opportunity to acquire a truly characterful home in a beautiful and unspoilt setting.”
