A characterful country cottage with space, privacy and excellent connections

Built in 1815, Clough Head is a charming detached cottage occupying approximately one-third of an acre, with generous gardens and open fields surrounding the property. Tucked away in Old Lindley, it offers a peaceful countryside setting, an abundance of internal space and the warmth and individuality of a period home.

Solid wood doors, exposed beams and stone hearths bring character throughout. Two large reception rooms, including one with an open fire, provide inviting spaces for relaxing and entertaining, while a spacious dining kitchen and a glazed conservatory connect the home with its gardens. Upstairs, two substantial bedrooms and two bathrooms offer generously proportioned accommodation.

The grounds are approached by a driveway leading up to the cottage, with a separate driveway leading out. Extensive parking, a carport and an adjoining garage add to the property’s practicality. The garage offers scope for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to any necessary consents, while the generous plot also provides potential to extend, subject to planning permission.

Despite its tucked-away position and rural feel, Clough Head is approximately a five-minute drive from the M62, making motorway access towards Manchester and Leeds particularly convenient. It is an appealing combination of countryside living and accessibility.
