It is located in the Howe Bridge Conservation area. The community is a former pit village and it has been preserved so that inhabitants and visitors alike can experience an authentic nineteenth century pit community. The photograph below shows the heart of the pit village.

           

         

The centre of the pit village. It is locally known as "The Promenade"

The actual property is located in Lilford Street which is shown on the photograph below. It can be found off the main road from Atherton to Leigh. As you enter Howe Bridge, you turn right at the pedestrian lights into Earl Street. It is then  on the left.

 

It has a sunny aspect even in November. It is half way down on the right hand side.

The property has been  refurbished. to a high standard. The work  has been  done so that you can have your creature comforts, yet experience the sense of history of this 125 year old former pit cottage.

  It is being advertised at a rent of £450pcm.

It is a furnished house, though the new tenant can replace items of furniture with their own choice.

The property has the appropriate Energy,  gas  and electric safety certificates. The condensing boiler was installed in August 2008. The electricity certificate has been given following the installation of a new fuse box (CU) and wired in smoke alarms. These are available to inspect.

 Interested tenants should be in employment and over 25 years of age.

It is a well proportioned house with a spacious feel in every room

The stairs are at the side of the house rather than between the lounge and kitchen/dining area. In our view this gives the house a much better "flow" between the downstairs rooms.

There is  both on road parking as well as off road parking at the rear of the house.

The front garden has a flagged walk way which has been edged in the original tiles so that some features of this old cottage can be preserved. The new garden has been complemented by new fencing and a front gate.

The fully remodelled front garden

 The garden area is neatly gravelled with an an attractive water feature. The gravel has been laid on a membrane so the weeds can be kept at bay. Some rockery plants have been planted out. Many front gardens have garden seats as a legacy of this old  former mining community. We will add one if the new tenant would welcome this addition.

The rear area incorporates a modern shed complete with shelving and a wooden floor. The gate shown on the photo below leads to the off street parking area and some nice walks on the old pit tracks

The rear yard with a large dry shed

 

Lilford Street is a cul de sac and there is no through traffic.

The Parish Church and Primary School are close at hand.

It is only a mile from Atherton town Centre and supermarkets such as Tesco. A Health Centre is close by in Hamilton Street.

It is well placed just off the main Leigh road from Atherton to Leigh. This means that both town centres are within easy reach by a good bus service or by car.

The railway station is a mile and a half away.

It is in a Conservation area which preserves the history of this former pit village.
