Property Description
For sale by auction jointly with BGT Eddisons. A Rare 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 hamlet, 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 and early 20th century Firwood bleachworks offering picturesque lake and woodland views rarely found in such a Historic setting. Adding to its unique credentials, the cottage was recently selected as a filming location for a new ITV drama series. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and 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. Externally, the home is approached via a charming cobbled street and enjoys a garden area to the rear with workshop, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the tranquil waterside and woodland views. Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, this delightful cottage presents a unique blend of heritage, character and setting. Early viewing is highly recommended, which in the first instance can be via our virtual viewing video and then in person by calling out Cardwells Estate Agents Bolton office on 01204 381281, emailing [email protected] of online at cardwells.co.uk

Council tax uses the 2026/27 England average Band D (gov.uk / MHCLG) spread across bands by the statutory ratios; water uses the 2026/27 average combined bill (Water UK / Ofwat). Broadband and insurance are fixed average figures. Ground rent and service charge, where shown, are taken from the listing as supplied, not an average. Monthly figures are the annual estimate divided by 12. Actual costs vary by location, usage, and provider. For guidance only. Last reviewed 17 August 2026.
