Seamlessly blending historic charm with contemporary design, this one-bedroom home offers stylish open-plan living in a prime location, close to daily amenities and transport links.

A Grand Entrance
Set on the cusp of the West Lancashire Moors, just off Blackburn Road, Holden Mill forms part of the exclusive Cottonworks gated development, where heritage architecture meets modern sophistication.

Welcome Home
Step inside, where timber laminate flooring extends throughout, creating a seamless flow through the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Light and airy, this thoughtfully designed area is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

In the kitchen, sleek white gloss cabinetry is arranged in an efficient L-shape, perfectly complemented by walnut worktops and crisp white splashback tiles. A full suite of integrated appliances—including an electric oven, hob with stainless steel extractor, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine—ensures convenience and style go hand in hand.

A Peaceful Retreat
Beyond the living area, the spacious double bedroom is a cosy sanctuary, fitted with white glossy wardrobes and matching bedside tables for a polished, modern feel. Soft carpeting underfoot enhances the sense of warmth, while an internal window to the living space maintains the apartment’s bright and airy ambience.

Opposite, the sleek three-piece bathroom is designed for both function and style. A built-in bath with overhead shower and glazed screen sits alongside a pedestal sink and WC, all framed by a contemporary mix of dark and light tiling for a fresh, modern finish.

Agent notes:
Important Notice for Buyers
We do our best to make sure our property details are accurate and reliable, but they do not form part of any offer or contract and should not be relied upon as statements of fact. Measurements, photographs, floor plans, and any services or appliances listed are for guidance only — they may not be exact or tested. Some photographs may include virtually staged furnishings and décor intended to illustrate potential layouts or styling.

Fixtures & Fittings
Any fixtures and fittings not specifically mentioned in the property details should be agreed separately with the seller.

Anti-Money Laundering (aml) & Buyer id Checks
To comply with legal requirements, we must verify the identity of all buyers before we can move forward with a sale. We’ll also need proof of funds and details of your instructed solicitor at this stage. At Newton & Co, we use a trusted third-party provider to complete these checks securely and quickly. There’s a small, non-refundable fee of £25 per person (or £50 if you’re buying through a company), which is paid directly to us when you’re ready to proceed. Please note, we can’t issue a memorandum of sale until these checks are complete — so the sooner they’re done, the sooner we can help you secure your new home.

Relationship Disclosure
In line with Section 21 of the Estate Agents Act 1979, we must declare if the owner of a property is related to anyone at Newton & Co. If that’s ever the case, we’ll always let you know.

Referral Fees
We may recommend trusted partners for extra services you might need — such as conveyancing, mortgage advice, insurance, or surveys. Sometimes we receive a small referral fee for introducing you to these providers. You’re under no obligation to use them and you’re always welcome to choose your own.
