PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Built in 1894 by Lawrence Rawstorne, Lavender Cottage, built in the distinctive ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, retains its uniqueness even today. Lovingly maintained by the current owners to be both modern, but incredibly sympathetic to the heritage of the building, this 4 bedroom house, situated on the sought after tree-lined avenue of Rawstorne Road is a fine example of one of a few traditional homes in Higher Penwortham.
The home itself has an entrance hallway leading to 2 reception rooms and a bright and modern dining kitchen. To the rear of the property there is an additional hallway with pantry, utility and ground floor shower room leading off. Further to the rear is bedroom four which is located in it’s own suite, being ensuite to the ground floor shower room and having access to a further living area and mezzanine floor.
To the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, a family bathroom and additional shower room. The first floor landing provides loft access to a fully boarded and carpeted loft space with electricity supply and large velux window. The current owners use this as an office space.
Adjacent to the property is a double garage, which, to the first floor, houses a fully insulated and soundproof music studio. Professionally installed, this amazing space is ideal for a musical family.
Externally the gardens are beautifully landscaped. The driveway and patio are predominantly Yorkshire stone flags, in keeping with the traditional style of the home, however the borders have been well groomed and maintained and contain a variety of beds and mature plants and shrubs. Recently installed to the garden is the brick built wood-fired outdoor oven and adjacent cooking area- the ideal social space for alfresco dining. There is also an additional outdoor storage shed.
Lavender Cottage has historical and traditional features that make this home truly special and we are excited to see who is going to become the new owners of this unique and distinctive home.
