Tucked away in a peaceful countryside location at the top of a hill in the heart of rural Lancashire, this stone-built cottage boasts tail-wagging views and a myriad of walking trails perfect for families and groups of friends with two dogs in tow.
Hang up the leash in the welcoming entrance hallway before leading the way into the lounge to unwind weary walking muscles as your pup curls up at your feet. Exposed beams and homely decor create a wonderfully peaceful ambience, whilst patio doors to the garden embrace the beauty of your surrounding scenery. The farmhouse-style kitchen provides everything you need to whip up some tasty treats; the separate dining room offers an idyllic spot to relax with your whole pack. There are four bedrooms upstairs – one en-suite super-king-size, one en-suite king-size, and two double – that’ll ensure a peaceful rest before tomorrow’s adventure. The stunning family bathroom on this level boasts a spa bath and TV that add a touch of pure elegance. Four-legged friends can let off some steam on the large lawn in the enclosed rear garden, which also features a patio area with a gas BBQ and fire pit. There is private parking for five cars.
Take the lead to enjoy some picturesque walks in the Healey Dell Nature Reserve, 4.5 miles from the doorstep; you’ll find plenty of sticks to fetch along the woodland trails. Soak up the rich history of the area by hopping aboard a heritage train with your canine companion on the East Lancashire Railway, which begins in nearby Heywood, 5 miles away. Your playful pup will have a ball exploring the tranquil Queen’s Park in Heywood, 4 miles away, home to an idyllic lake and plenty of peaceful picnic spots. Further afield, the magnificent landscapes of the Peak District can be reached within 24 miles.
