Description

Are you searching for a slice of countryside charm, with all the modern touches, right here in Smithills? Welcome to Harvey Street—a hidden gem nestled at the very end, near Hill Top—where this captivating Grade II Listed end-stone cottage waits to write its next chapter with you.

The First Glimpse
As you approach the cottage, a timeless stone wall and gated pathway draw you in. To your right, a manicured artificial lawn is softened by the shade of a graceful tree, while vivid red blooms climb the cottage’s stone façade like something from a postcard. A cream-painted timber door invites you inside—an elegant nod to the home’s history, framed by classic mullioned, leaded windows and aged stone lintels that speak of stories past.

Step Inside
Enter the dining room—a space that whispers warmth and welcome. Exposed timber beams crown the ceiling above soft white walls, while engineered oak flooring stretches out beneath your feet. A fireplace, topped with a chunky wooden lintel and ready for an electric fire, creates a cosy heart to gather around. This room is spacious enough for dinner parties and family breakfasts alike, with open archways either side of the chimney breast drawing you through into the lounge.

In the lounge, there’s space for an L-shaped sofa, perfectly positioned beneath a wall-mounted TV point. Mullioned windows to both front and side elevations let natural light flood in. A stable door—quintessentially cottage—opens directly onto the side garden, blending indoor comfort with outdoor charm.

Beyond the lounge, double doors reveal a snug—a third reception room currently used as a playroom. A large side window keeps it bright, while a doorway leads seamlessly through to the kitchen, which loops back around to the dining room for a fluid, family-friendly layout.

The Heart of the Home
In the kitchen, rustic elegance meets contemporary comfort. Cream Shaker-style units and drawers offer ample storage, topped with warm oak effect worktops. A stainless steel oven and 5-ring gas hob sit beneath a matching extractor, with glazed tile splashbacks adding subtle texture. Integrated appliances include a fridge, and freezer, while a stainless steel sink and drainer enjoy leafy views through one of two rear-facing windows.

Upstairs Escape
Climb the stairs—framed by characterful timber doors with traditional latch ironmongery—to find three generously sized bedrooms.

The main bedroom looks out over the front garden, bathed in light from its mullioned windows. Decorated in soft whites, with original ceiling beams and space for a full suite of furniture, it’s both calming and grand. A charming original grate in the chimney breast adds a touch of vintage romance, paired beautifully with cosy wool carpeting.

The second bedroom, also front-facing, is painted in soothing scalloped teal and white with sleek laminate flooring.

The third bedroom at the rear is a peaceful retreat, offering woodland views and a neutral palette—ideal for a nursery, guest room, or creative hideaway.

Spa-Like Serenity
Serving the bedrooms is a beautifully finished bathroom with a modern dual WC and vanity storage, a panelled bath, and a separate shower enclosure. White tiles meet a feature wallcovering, and contemporary touches like a black heated towel rail and stainless steel fittings complete the look.

Conveniently tucked on the same floor is a dedicated laundry room—no more lugging laundry downstairs—with room for a dryer, a second WC, and wall-mounted basin.

A modern boiler, installed less than two years ago, is fully serviced and still under warranty for added peace of mind.

Alfresco Living
Step outside and discover a surprisingly spacious south-east facing garden. To the side, a paved patio is perfect for summer BBQs or morning coffee. A further paved area offers room for play equipment, while planted stone beds stretch along the fence line, bursting with life. A greenhouse and painted brick outbuilding provide practicality and charm, all enclosed within traditional dry-stone walls. The outbuilding is a former WWI air raid shelter, originally built for the local area and now forming part of the property — adding a fascinating layer of historical context.

Explore the Area
Harvey Street places you on the fringe of open countryside, yet within easy reach of everything. Walk the dog or enjoy a picnic at Moss Bank Park, just minutes away, or follow the West Pennine Way from nearby Barrow Bridge for panoramic walks through Smithills Woods.

Right across the road, Tootle Park offers an open green space for everyday strolls or weekend games.

You’re well connected too—with bakeries, cafés, supermarkets, post offices, and more just a short drive away. Local favourites like The Bob Smithy pub or Bake and Roast at historic Smithills Hall are on hand for cosy nights out or Sunday brunch.

And for commuters, reliable bus routes into Bolton and Horwich are just moments from your door.

A Modern Cottage with a Soul
This isn’t just a house—it’s a home that blends heritage charm with the needs of modern life. Whether you’re a couple seeking your first home, a growing family wanting space and style, or downsizers looking for a slice of serenity, this cottage on Harvey Street has a story ready for you to continue.
