Summary:
CLICK ON THE VIDEO TOUR! Whitehall (as the whole) is believed to be the oldest house in Darwen built in 1557. The area ‘Whitehall’ derives its name from the house which was constructed alongside the original pack road linking the settlements of the south to Lancaster. The house was (we understand) built by the De Houghton family of Houghton Tower as a hunting retreat. Whitehall has undergone many changes over its lifetime and is of such significance that it has been awarded grade 2 listed status. It has since been split into three properties. As you would expect, the cottage has an abundance of character and upon arriving via the welcoming cottage garden you know you're in for a treat!! A rare example of features include exposed stone elevations, beamed ceilings, original internal stone mullion window to name a few. Accommodation over three floors briefly comprises of an Entrance Porch, Lounge with wood burner, Dining Kitchen, 1st Floor, two bedrooms, 4 pce family bathroom, 2nd floor, third bedroom. The front cottage garden benefits from a timber decked patio ideal for taking in the pleasant surroundings. Located in a tucked away position in the popular Whitehall area yet convenient for every day amenities. Early viewing of this very special property is a must!
