Summary - BRIDGE HOUSE COTTAGE KEIGHLEY ROAD LANESHAWBRIDGE COLNE BB8 7HX
1 bed 1 bath Land
Edge-of-village site with planning potential for family homes.
Substantial combined gross internal area circa 3,769 sq ft
Full planning previously approved for two four-bed detached homes
Consent has lapsed; vendors are resubmitting planning
Both farmhouse and cottage require complete refurbishment throughout
Large cellar beneath both properties, divided into four rooms
Stone walls likely uninsulated; extensive renovation and insulation needed
Freehold; mains water, drainage, electricity and gas connected
Convenient edge-of-village location, 2.5 miles from Colne and M65 access
An unusual redevelopment opportunity on the edge of Laneshawbridge combining a substantial middle farmhouse and an adjoining end cottage with an adjacent parcel of land. The combined buildings offer a very large internal area (circa 3,769 sq ft) and a basement cellar, giving scope for refurbishment, conversion or replacement subject to planning. The site sits on Keighley Road with easy access to Colne (2.5 miles) and the M65.
Full planning permission was previously granted (Application Ref: 21/0712/FUL) for two detached four-bedroom homes; that consent has now lapsed and the vendors are in the process of resubmitting the scheme. Mains services are understood to be connected and the buildings retain traditional stone construction with period features — but both the farmhouse and cottage require complete refurbishment throughout.
This offering will suit a developer or an owner-occupier with renovation experience who wants control of a small, well-located rural plot with planning potential. Important considerations: the properties need comprehensive works, the lapsed consent will require reapproval (or a fresh application), and building fabric currently appears uninsulated. The site’s position in a very affluent, low-crime area with good broadband and an outstanding local primary school adds genuine appeal.
