Acre Hill Cottage is a substantial stone-built family home set in approximately 1.5 acres, combining traditional character with a thoughtful architect-led extension and modern fittings. The house offers four double bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms (two en suite) and a bright, shaker-style dining kitchen with granite worktops and French doors onto landscaped gardens — perfect for family life and entertaining. Multiple reception rooms, a snug, reading hideaway and a secret wine store add charm and flexible living space across three floors.
The grounds include extensive wrap-around gardens with Indian and York stone patios, a pond and sweeping countryside views. A detached two-storey barn and three stone stable compartments provide genuine scope for a home studio, office, gym or ancillary accommodation subject to consents. Ample parking, a double garage (currently used as a games/party room) and direct access from the utility make day-to-day living convenient despite the semi-rural setting.
Much of the house systems were updated during a comprehensive architect-led renovation in 2010; heating, electrics, plumbing, roof, bathrooms and the kitchen were reconfigured then. The location offers easy access to Rawtenstall (around 10 minutes), local schools and scenic walking routes, while having excellent mobile and fast broadband — useful for remote working or running a small business from the barn. Council tax is high and the property sits at the end of a shared driveway in an isolated hamlet setting, which suits buyers wanting privacy but may not suit those seeking an urban location.
