This late 1700s canal side cottage is located within the grounds of Finsley Gate Wharf.
Finsley Gate Wharf was once at the heart of Lancashire's Industrial Revolution and was granted over 3 million pounds for a total regeneration, completed in September 2021.
The cottage, once the turnbridge keeper's home, is part of this regeneration and has been lovingly restored into a modern, quiet, yet centrally located guesthouse, a great place for reunions with easy access to local attractions.
Our late 1700s 2 storey cottage is a very grand version of a large, detached
2-up 2-down house.
We have divided the guesthouse into 4 rooms - 2 en-suite bedrooms and 2 large suites. This is a small unique guesthouse with just 4 room options. Like a hotel, all rooms have locks and you are also given a key to the cottage and the gate to the grounds of Finsley Gate Wharf.
