Summary - 65 CHURCH STREET NEWCHURCH ROSSENDALE BB4 9EH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large character home with vaulted basement and panoramic countryside views.
Grade II listed 17th-century stone mid-terrace with strong period features
This is a rare, stone-built Grade II listed mid-terrace dating from the 17th century, arranged over three generous levels and offering unexpectedly large living space (around 1,820 sq ft). The house keeps strong period character — exposed stonework in a vaulted basement, original sandstone façade and high, airy rooms — while benefiting from a modern kitchen and bathroom. The rear room and garden capture wide, elevated countryside views.
The layout suits families or professionals needing flexible space: two large double bedrooms, a substantial vaulted basement currently used as an office/games room, a separate workroom/utility area, and a practical dining kitchen with a large gas range. A low-maintenance paved patio and small lawn provide private outdoor space; street parking is available directly outside.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints. Listed status will restrict alterations and likely complicate retrofitting (walls are original granite/whinstone with no assumed insulation). The plot is modest in size, parking is on-street only, and the property sits in an area classed as deprived with average crime levels. Some buyers may want to budget for specialist listed-building maintenance and possible energy-efficiency upgrades.
Location is a strength: walking distance to Rawtenstall town centre, commuter links to the A56, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and several nearby primary schools rated Good to Outstanding. Secondary school provision in the immediate area is mixed. Council tax is described as low, which helps running costs for owner-occupiers.
