About this property
Mallison Cottage sits in the heart of Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, offering a terraced holiday home that makes a practical and welcoming base for families or groups eager to explore both the bustle of the North West and the beauty of the nearby countryside. Step through the front door and into a piece of history—this 400-year-old terraced cottage greets you with traditional features and a warm sense of welcome. The kitchen/diner invites guests to gather around the breakfast bar for morning plans or evening chatter, with everything at hand for preparing hearty meals. A cloakroom tucked nearby adds a layer of practicality, while the sitting room beckons with its exposed beams overhead, a striking brick wall, and a glowing gas fire that casts flickering light across the room—an inviting space to relax and recharge after a day of discovery. Upstairs, three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms—a double, a bunk, and a single—offer flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups of friends, each space infused with the cottage’s enduring character. The main bathroom is a highlight, where a freestanding bath and walk-in shower provide a restorative pause between outings.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a gravelled nook with seating—perfect for a quiet morning coffee or a reflective evening glass, as the day fades and the town’s lights begin to twinkle. Local shops, cafés and pubs are just a short stroll away, making essentials and indulgences easily accessible.
For days out, there’s plenty to enjoy. The vibrant city of Manchester is easily reached by car or train, brimming with culture, sport, shopping and nightlife. History lovers can explore the characterful market town of Ashton-Under-Lyne with its Victorian architecture, while the open landscapes of the Peak District National Park tempt walkers and cyclists with rugged trails, sweeping views and charming villages. Football fans can head to the Etihad Stadium or Old Trafford to catch a match, while music lovers will find the Co-op Live Arena just a short journey away. Whether you’re seeking a lively city break, a dose of history or a countryside adventure, Mallison Cottage makes a well-placed and inviting base in Greater Manchester.
