Summary - Barton Cottage, Sough Road BB3 2BN
5 bed 2 bath Link Detached House
Spacious five-bedroom home with gardens and garage, ideal for growing families.
Victorian Gothic Revival stone facade and original period features
A striking Victorian stone residence offering five bedrooms and four reception rooms, mixing original period detail with a modern kitchen. High ceilings, stained glass and ornate joinery give the principal rooms strong character and family-friendly circulation.
Externally the house sits elevated with landscaped gardens, a long block-paved driveway and a detached garage for secure parking. Transport links to Blackburn, Bolton and Manchester are convenient for daily commuting, and several good-rated primary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is an older property (built 1898) with sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking insulation and double glazing of unknown age. There is evidence of damp spotting on the staircase ceiling and the council tax band is above average. The wider area records higher deprivation levels despite a comfortable local neighbourhood feel.
The house will suit a family seeking period character and generous living space who are prepared to carry out targeted maintenance or sympathetic upgrading (insulation, damp investigation, and energy improvements) to maximise long-term comfort and efficiency.
