We are delighted to offer for sale this imposing, unusually large, stone built semi-detached residence, which is set within its own grounds, accessed by wrought iron double gates, and directly abuts farmland at the rear, so has the benefit of a lovely rural aspect from the side and rear, as well as far reaching views from the front from the first floor. Located in a highly desirable area, on the fringe of the sought after village of Laneshawbridge, this magnificent family abode also has the considerable advantage of being in the catchment area for a number of ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ Ofsted rated schools.

Having undergone extensive external improvement and renovation over the last few years, this magnificent, extremely appealing character home retains lots of beautiful original features and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. Well positioned for commuters, this exceptional dwelling is placed very close to the Lancashire/Yorkshire border and is less than 2.5 miles from the M65 and is also within easy reach of Colne town centre and many other amenities.

Complemented by pvc double glazing and gas central heating, run by a Worcester boiler and including a superior hot water system, the accommodation briefly comprises a stunning, half panelled entrance vestibule, with a charming stained glass internal door, set in a matching stained glass surround, leading into the lovely hall, which also has stained glass features and boasts a splendid open staircase. The large, very impressive bay windowed lounge has an attractive fireplace, fitted with a multi-fuel stove, and there is a further spacious reception room, a good sized dining room, with a carved wood fireplace and a multi-fuel stove, and nice sized kitchen, which is fitted with wood fronted units and includes built-in appliances. Also on the ground floor is a utility/boot room, a rear entrance hall and a shower room. The house also has a large, particularly useful basement, accessed from the hall, which is currently used for storage, but has the potential to serve a number of other purposes.

There are four generous first floor bedrooms, all of which have the advantage of the amazing views, a family bathroom, which features a period style cast iron bath, set on clawed feet, with a shower over. On the second floor is a further double bedroom, which also benefits from rural views, and a store room.

This truly outstanding abode has sizeable lawns to the front and side, a driveway, providing off road parking at the top, with space for a motorhome or caravan, and a really delightful, nice sized enclosed patio at the rear, laid with attractive natural stone flags.
