This striking stone-built weaver's cottage stretches over four floors and nearly 2,000sqft, offering unusually generous family accommodation in Bacup town centre. Original period features — exposed beams, stone walls and high-ceilinged reception rooms — give the house character and warmth, while a large second-floor reception could easily convert to a fifth bedroom for growing families.
Practical everyday living is well catered for with a rustic kitchen/breakfast room, separate dining room and a cosy snug, plus front and rear garden spaces for children and pets. The property has useful storage rooms and flexible room layouts across approximately 15 rooms, providing scope for modern reconfiguration if desired.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a long lease (orig. 1826), council tax Band A (low), good mobile and broadband connectivity, and no identified flood risk. The immediate area has high deprivation indices and a very high reported crime rate, which buyers should factor into location suitability and security planning.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and period detail. The house is best suited to buyers seeking a spacious family home with strong character, or purchasers looking to add value through modernisation and reconfiguration.
