Location

Billinge End Road connects West Blackburn with the village of Pleasington [3miles] which is mainly known for its championship golf course and no less than three pub / restaurants serving some of the best fayre in the area. Some of Blackburn’s most sought after property is found on and around Billinge End Road.

For a busy family the position of Southworth could hardly be more ideal. You are within 1 ½ miles of the heart of Blackburn yet the house is directly opposite mature woodland which gives the area a distinctly semi rural appearance.

Several schools are located on this west side of Blackburn and both Westholme and Queen Elizabeths Grammar School [two of the North’s top independent schools] are within approximately 1 mile of the house.

From nearby Preston New Road there is main Road access to the M6 at Samlesbury [5 miles] and the M65 [either Whitebirk or Lower Darwen junctions].
