This charming 2 double bedroom cottage occupies a lovely semi-rural position on the hillside above Share Hill. It is the second in a row of 5 period homes which enjoy views over the surrounding countryside and far beyond. The cottage itself is deceptively spacious having benefitted from a ground floor extension at the rear adding even more space to the impressive dining kitchen. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hallway, lounge, living/dining kitchen, landing, 2 double bedrooms, shower room, and attic room. The property has gas fired central heating, and double-glazed windows. Externally, there are particularly well tended gardens to the front and rear and the first garage you pass as you come up to the property is also included. There are a good range of shops, bars, and cafes in the nearby villages of Golcar and Slaithwaite, along with a train station in Slaithwaite where you can pick up the trans Pennine service. There is easy access up to the M62 at junctions 23 & 24, and a regular bus service can be picked up locally.
