Three‑storey 5‑bed with south gardens, balconies and large summerhouse — close to Marl Pits.
Five double bedrooms including master with dressing room and en‑suite
A substantial, three‑storey detached family home arranged over c.1,900 sqft, set on a prominent elevated plot with southerly gardens and valley views. The layout is practical for family life with four reception rooms — including a 225 sqft kitchen‑diner and a 290 sqft lounge with bi‑fold doors opening to an upper patio — plus a lower‑ground cinema/garden room that flows to the lawn and summerhouse. The master suite includes a dressing room and tiled en‑suite; four further double bedrooms and a generous four‑piece family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation.
Outdoor living is a strong selling point: terraced balconies on two levels, a lawn garden with quality summerhouse and extensive brick‑paved parking plus a garage. The location is convenient — opposite Marl Pits leisure facilities, close to countryside walks, and within easy reach of Rawtenstall town centre, regular buses to Manchester and the M66 for commuter routes.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold (original 999‑year term from 23/6/1977; c.972 years remain). EPC rating C and council tax band E (above average) reflect running costs to consider. The local area is described as comfortable and affluent, but recorded local crime is above average; prospective buyers should carry out their own checks on neighbourhood suitability.
This home will suit a growing family seeking ample living space, strong indoor–outdoor flow and excellent access to local sports and schools. There is scope to personalise internal finishes where desired, especially to align with contemporary tastes, while the long lease and generous plot offer long‑term ownership security and potential to adapt the space.
