About this property

**PART OF THE UK'S BIGGEST OPEN HOUSE EVENT 24TH, 25TH AND 26TH APRIL** CALL NOW TO BOOK YOUR VIEWING TIME!!

A charming and highly picturesque three bedroom cottage in the very heart of the ever-desirable village of Higham, this truly enchanting home dates back to circa 1850 and effortlessly blends historic character with modern-day comfort. Occupying a peaceful side turning and originally formed from two cottages skilfully combined some 40 years ago, the property now offers a deceptively spacious and wonderfully versatile family residence arranged over three inviting levels.

Steeped in charm and brimming with original features, this distinctive home will instantly appeal to buyers seeking something unique and full of personality. The surrounding area is equally captivating, with rolling countryside quite literally on the doorstep, while local amenities are within easy reach, including the popular Four Halls Inn, Higham Primary School, and the nearby villages of Fence and Barrowford.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a warm and characterful living room, beautifully enhanced by exposed stone walls and a cosy multi-fuel burner—perfect for relaxing evenings. A delightful snug room provides a further intimate retreat, complete with a period-style fireplace, ideal for quiet relaxation or reading.

To the lower ground floor, the heart of the home unfolds into a superb kitchen space, thoughtfully designed with a central island, flowing seamlessly into a generous dining area with patio doors opening out to the rear courtyard—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A useful utility cupboard adds practicality to this well-planned space.

The upper floors continue to impress, offering two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, alongside a charming single bedroom, ideal as a nursery, home office or dressing room.

Externally, the property enjoys a quaint and low-maintenance courtyard to the rear, providing a private outdoor space to unwind.

Further benefits include gas central heating with a replacement boiler installed in 2023, along with significant improvements over the years such as roof replacements in 2007 and 2018 to different sections, and recently repainted and sealed exterior walls—offering peace of mind for prospective purchasers.

Properties of this calibre and individuality rarely come to market within this sought-after village, particularly at this price point. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, character, and lifestyle this exceptional cottage has to offer.
