Summary - Current title plan LA439008, Blackburn with Darwen BB3 3PP
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Private 14-acre setting with stables and panoramic moorland views.
Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms plus downstairs WC
Far Hillock Barn is a spacious, characterful stone home set in an elevated, private 14-acre plot combining formal gardens, paddock and retained original farmyard. The barn was reimagined in 2008 while retaining 1700s character — exposed beams, high ceilings, travertine floors and a double-height entrance create dramatic, light-filled living spaces ideal for family life and entertaining.
The ground floor offers sociable living: a large country breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances and Rangemaster oven, a formal dining room for ten, and a vaulted living room centred on a wood-burner. Practical spaces include a utility, downstairs WC and extensive storage; French doors link living spaces directly to an Indian stone-flagged patio that wraps the house and opens to wide countryside views.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged for family privacy and flexibility (one room currently used as bedroom/study). The plot includes two stables, a tack room and a field shelter, making the property well suited to equestrian use or small‑scale hobby farming. There is scope to acquire adjoining 3- and 9-acre fields for expansion.
Considerations: heating is oil‑fired with a boiler and radiators (not a community system), broadband speeds are very slow, and the large acreage will demand ongoing maintenance. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a rural family home offering privacy, space and versatile outbuildings in a sought-after West Pennine location.
