About this lot

Multi-Lot Timed Auction

An opportunity to own a piece of Bolton’s heritage. Nestled within the highly regarded conservation area of Firwood Fold, this charming Grade II listed stone cottage forms part of one of Bolton’s most historic hamlets, famously recognised as the birthplace of Samuel Crompton, inventor of the spinning mule. Brimming with character and heritage appeal, the property enjoys an enviable rear aspect overlooking The Bunk, a former reservoir dating back to the 19th century, and early 20th century Firwood Bleachworks, offering picturesque lake and woodland views. Adding to its unique credentials, the cottage was recently selected as a filming location for a new ITV drama series. The accommodation currently comprises: a welcoming lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (the main bedroom benefitting from pull-down ladder access to a useful boarded loft space), and a modern three-piece bathroom suite.
