Summary - 1 GREEN HEAD COTTAGE, CROSS LANE, LOWER BENTHAM LA2 7ES
3 bed 2 bath Character Property
Period charm, rural views and approved plans for three separate homes.
Stone-built 17th-century cottage with strong period character
1 Green Head Cottage is a substantial stone-built character home, probably dating from the early 17th century, set on the village fringe with long-distance views to the Forest of Bowland. The existing layout provides three comfortable bedrooms, two reception rooms, a fitted dining kitchen and separate utility, with straightforward potential to create a fourth bedroom. The appended cavity-block double garage is currently split into a large single garage with WC and a self-contained hot tub room.
The property carries detailed planning permission (2020/22292/FUL) to convert the main house into two 2-bed cottages and to convert/extend the garage into a further 2-bed dwelling; architects’ plans are available for inspection. A new private treatment plant has been installed and the site benefits from private parking for over seven vehicles and a generous garden with stream and woodland edge, offering both privacy and development flexibility.
Practical points to note: the stone walls are as-built with no known insulation, double glazing dates from before 2002, and the house will benefit from modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is above average for the area. Broadband is excellent via B4RN hyperfast; mobile signal is average. This property will suit buyers attracted to period character, rural views and either an owner-occupier wanting flexible accommodation or a purchaser seeking the permitted development opportunity.
