Welcome to 70 Main Road, a beautifully presented period cottage; built in 1672, brimming with character and enhanced by thoughtful modern touches. Situated in the highly sought-after village of Bolton-le-Sands, the property effortlessly blends historic charm with contemporary living.
Bolton-le-Sands is a highly regarded coastal village offering an excellent balance of rural charm and everyday convenience. The village benefits from local shops, cafés, pubs and well-regarded schools, while scenic coastal walks and countryside are close at hand. Excellent transport links provide easy access to Lancaster, Morecambe and the M6, making it a popular choice for commuters and those seeking a relaxed yet well-connected lifestyle.
Approached via a private, low maintenance patio, the property enjoys a welcoming outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sunshine. Stepping inside, a bright entrance porch leads into the main living room, where exposed beams, multiple windows and a wealth of natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stunning stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a log-burning stove, forms a cozy focal point and perfectly complements the character of the room.
The ground floor continues into an impressive open-plan kitchen diner, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with neutral shaker-style wall and base units, complementary worktops, a farmhouse-style cooker, a 1.5 stainless steel sink with drainer, space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine, and a practical integrated wine rack. The dining area sits beneath a vaulted glass roof, flooding the space with light, and benefits from a large window and direct access to the patio.
To the first floor are two double bedrooms, both featuring charming exposed beams and pleasant views towards surrounding greenery. The bathroom is fitted with a distinctive three-piece suite comprising an integrated bath, wash basin and WC, alongside a separate walk-in shower, offering both style and practicality.
Externally, the property enjoys a private front patio, while a detached garage conversion provides a superb additional living space, currently used as a snug. This versatile outbuilding includes a WC and seating area and is surrounded by a further patio with mature, well-established planting, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat.
This delightful cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home with flexible accommodation in a prime village location. Ideal for downsizers, professionals or those seeking a charming retreat.
