Arranged over two floors with cut stone window openings, some of them mullioned. Approached through the original barn door entrance with a wide and deep hall; there is no staircase to access the upper floor. The ground floor comprises three rooms presumed to provide a large lounge with a chimney, kitchen diner and a further reception room. The first floor has no partition walls though it appears capable of providing four bedrooms, bathroom and potentially an en-suite.

Attached to the stone barn is a former cow shed of brick wall construction under a pitched room clad in profiled asbestos panels on metal trusses. Delipidated condition.

Adjacent to both is a two-storey detached annexe, part faced in stone under a pitched roof clad in concrete tile. It briefly comprises ground floor: hall, staircase rising to the first floor, lounge, kitchen diner. Access to storage space above the two-bay garage. On the first floor there are two rooms and a three-piece bathroom. Dilapidated condition.

Outside - The barn has a level stone walled frontage which is south facing, Pendle Hill visible from the property. The additional field is steep and stretches eastwards towards the A59. This, along with the land the buildings stand on amounts to approximately two acres.

Agents Note - Whilst the Agents have walked the boundaries, we have not carried out a detailed measurement survey of the land and therefore any necessary checks should be carried out by the purchaser’s professional advisors prior to exchange of contracts.
