Location
Set in the South Pennine Hills, Rossendale provides commuters with good motorway connections with Manchester less than 20 miles away. Bury can be accessed by junction 2 of the M66 leading to the M60 and M62 and connections to Bradford and Leeds. Heritage Arcade is situated on Bacup Road in the heart of Rawtenstall, less than five minutes walk from Rawtenstall Bus Station.

The attractive yet strategic location of the town has led to a significant increase in demand from young couples and professionals wanting to benefit from country living but remain within easy access of the region’s cities and business destinations.

The property fronts directly onto Bacup Road which is accessed from Haslingden Road/ St Mary's Way (A682). Rawtenstall bus station and the town's Lidl supermarket are opposite to the property. The A56 is approximately 600m from the property which links directly to the M66 motorway.
