Three generous double bedrooms and two reception rooms with character features
Set on over three-quarters of an acre on the edge of Great Harwood, Stoops House is a stone-built semi with period character and recent high-quality upgrades. The house blends original features — exposed beams, mullioned bay windows, stone fireplaces — with a contemporary Pronorm kitchen, new sunroom and modern bathrooms, creating a comfortable family home with immediate move-in appeal.
Accommodation is generous throughout: three double bedrooms, two reception rooms with wood-burning stoves, and a bright sunroom that frames long-distance rural views. Practical modern improvements in the last five years include new double glazing, a new central heating system, reroofing and a remodelled interior, while a detached double garage and EV charging point add everyday convenience.
The gardens and grounds are a major asset — mature planting, a wildlife pond, greenhouse, summerhouse with golf-course views and extensive lawns provide seclusion and space for family life and outdoor hobbies. The long driveway and multiple parking areas accommodate several vehicles and visitor parking.
Notable considerations: the property is freehold but uses a shared private drainage (septic/treatment plant) and broadband speeds are reported slow — important for home-working buyers. Council Tax Band E and the house’s age (pre-1900 stone walls likely without modern cavity insulation) may mean higher running costs compared with new builds. Structural defects are not reported, but buyers seeking full energy efficiency will likely want to investigate insulation improvements.
