3 bed cottage for sale

Lumber Lane, Burtonwood, Warrington WA5

Nestled along the semi-rural stretch of Lumber Lane in Burtonwood, this charming three-bedroom cottage sits proudly within approximately 0.24 hectares of land, offering an exceptional blend of character, space and opportunity.

Set back from the lane, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds, previously operated as a flower nursery, present an exciting opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle change or business venture. There are eight poly tunnels in total – six positioned to the left as you enter the driveway, with a further two situated elsewhere on the land. Each measures approximately 19 metres in length by 6 metres in width. Whilst some require attention, the frames remain solid and ready for use. Alternatively, the space could be cleared to create expansive gardens or additional outdoor space to suit your needs. In addition, there are three substantial outbuildings, historically used as workstations and storage, and a good provision of utilities across the site. The entire property operates via a septic tank system.

Internally, the cottage is bursting with character and charm. You enter via the side into a welcoming hallway, immediately noticing the wooden internal doors and period features that run throughout the home. The kitchen is well-appointed and offers space for a dining table, fitted with modern shaker-style cabinetry, oak worktops and attractive exposed beams above the dining area. A contemporary multi-fuel stove sits in the corner, one of three within the property, adding warmth and a cosy focal point.

Leading off the kitchen is a practical utility/boot room with space for appliances, along with a convenient ground floor shower room comprising WC and walk-in shower – ideal for accessibility or day-to-day convenience.

To the opposite side of the kitchen is the impressive open-plan lounge and dining room, spanning the full width of the house. This versatile living space benefits from large windows allowing plenty of natural light, with a multi-fuel burner positioned at each end. The layout offers flexibility to enjoy as one substantial reception area or to divide into two separate spaces if preferred.

Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms along with a spacious family bathroom, comfortably accommodating a four-piece suite.

Surrounded by open fields, the setting is wonderfully peaceful, with the nearest neighbour being the adjacent livery, creating a true sense of privacy and rural living. While some areas may benefit from light modernisation, the cottage is well maintained and full of potential, both internally and externally.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with land, outbuildings and genuine scope for lifestyle or business use – early viewing is highly recommended.
