Southport Road, Eccleston

Fell View is a charming period country cottage, tucked away along a private, leafy lane and approached via a private driveway. Set within mature, tree-filled grounds extending to approximately one-third of an acre, this unique home offers a rare opportunity to create a wonderful family residence while retaining an abundance of original character and charm. Steeped in history and forming part of a small enclave of just four homes, Fell View has not been offered on the open market for many years. The property enjoys a peaceful and private setting, surrounded by established gardens, mature trees and planting, yet remains conveniently positioned for local amenities and excellent transport links.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance vestibule with tiled flooring and storage leading through to the sitting room, which provides a lovely space for family living and entertaining. An inner hallway leads to the both the first floor and in to the dining room which benefits from a wood-burning stove and also leads to a useful play area, which could work equally well as a home office or study if required. A farmhouse-style kitchen with direct access via French door in to the gardens, and a handy ground-floor shower room complete the ground floor. To the first floor are three generously proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, with access to two separate loft areas used previously as additional bedrooms, which could potentially provide more bedrooms if needed.
The accommodation retains a wealth of character, with exposed beams adding to the property's unique appeal and charm. Externally, Fell View is surrounded by beautifully established gardens extending to approximately one-third of an acre. There is driveway parking together with access to a detached double garage, and wood store, all set within mature grounds that provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. It may also be worth noting that the clients have previously had outline planning consent for a detached property. Whilst this has expired it is unlikely to be refused should a new application be submitted.
The property is ideally located off Southport Road, within easy reach of the market town of Chorley, while the picturesque villages of Eccleston and Croston are also close by. The surrounding area offers a superb combination of countryside, highly regarded schools, independent shops and everyday amenities. For commuters, the property benefits from excellent transport connections, including convenient access to the M6 and M61 motorways and rail links to both Manchester and Liverpool. Fell View is a truly special hidden gem, offering an increasingly rare combination of privacy, generous grounds, period character and an enviable location. With considerable potential for personalisation and modernisation, this charming country cottage presents an exciting opportunity to create a stunning forever home in one of the area's most desirable settings.
