This extended stone cottage offers a rare entry into Rawtenstall: two double bedrooms, a versatile loft room and two bathrooms across four floors. The extended kitchen-diner is the home's social hub, fitted with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while the private courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space for evenings and entertaining.
The property is largely finished to a high standard and is ready to move into, making it well suited to first-time buyers seeking space and character without immediate renovation. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a useful cellar and generous built-in storage across the stairwells and loft.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records very high crime and wider indicators show local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appetite. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with sandstone/limestone walls and no known wall insulation (assumed), so consider future thermal improvements. Tenure is leasehold with a long term remaining (around 850+ years) and a nominal ground rent.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented starter home in a convenient, commuter-friendly location close to Rawtenstall town centre, public transport and countryside walks. It combines immediate liveability with clear scope for long-term value improvements such as insulation or selective modernisation.
