Spacious character home with pond, garage and scope to personalise.
Large period stone house with exceptional private gardens and mill pond
A rare, period stone home set in private, wildlife-rich gardens with its own mill pond and expansive lawns. The house offers generous family living across multiple reception rooms, a conservatory and a versatile loft bedroom — all framed by mature trees and wide countryside views. The plot includes a summer house, large double garage and a wide paved driveway, ideal for family parking and outdoor hobbies.
Internals blend original character with practical living: cosy stove-equipped reception rooms, a long kitchen, cellar storage and a large principal bedroom with views. The property is extremely large (around 4,220 sq ft) and has clear potential to extend or adapt rooms to suit changing family needs. The summerhouse and pond add real lifestyle appeal for nature lovers.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the EPC rating is E and broadband speeds are very slow — important if you work from home. The house is leasehold (1,000 years from October 1876; c. 850 years remaining) and some ground-floor room sizes are modest. Overall upkeep and selective refurbishment will be needed in places to modernise heating and energy efficiency while preserving character.
Positioned in a peaceful Rossendale valley setting, the home is close to local shops, primary schools and within commutable distance of Manchester via the M66. This property will suit a family seeking space, privacy and countryside character who are prepared to invest in improvement for long-term enjoyment.
