This well-presented stone terraced home blends period character with a modern kitchen extension, offering comfortable living over two floors. The large master bedroom with built-in storage and high-ceilinged lounge provide spacious, airy rooms unusual for a property of this size. A convenient cellar and enclosed rear yard add practical storage and outdoor space, with partial countryside views from the garden.
The property suits first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors looking for a central Rossendale location with easy access to open countryside and local schools rated Good. Recent upgrades include a composite front door, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with built-in appliances and an induction hob, reducing immediate refurbishment needs in those areas.
Buyers should note material factors plainly: the home is leasehold, built in the early 19th century with traditional stone walls likely lacking modern insulation, and it sits in an area with a recorded high flood risk and higher local crime levels. Parking is on-street only. These points affect insurance, running costs and possible retrofit work (insulation, flood resilience) that some buyers may wish to budget for.
Overall this property offers character, size and good local amenities at a low council tax band, but it will suit purchasers prepared to manage location-related risks and potential retrofit or improvement work to raise energy efficiency and flood resilience.
