Internally, you are greeted by a wide timber door leading into a small entrance vestibule, which opens into a welcoming hallway adorned with original features. This space provides access to the generously proportioned ground-floor living areas. The principal lounge, with its expansive bay window, bathes the room in natural light while framing delightful views of the front garden. A striking fireplace serves as the focal point, adding both warmth and character. The second reception room is equally inviting, offering versatility as a formal dining area, family room, or home office. Retaining its own feature fireplace and benefiting from under-stairs storage, this space is both functional and full of potential for further expansion into the kitchen or sunroom.

The kitchen, positioned at the rear, provides ample scope for modernisation. With a well-proportioned layout, it leads seamlessly into a bright and airy sunroom—an ideal spot for informal dining or relaxing while enjoying views of the courtyard garden. Additional ground-floor features include a useful larder room off the kitchen, along with an externally accessed store and WC, adding further potential for expanding the kitchen area.

Ascending to the first floor, the property offers three well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes housing a recently installed Worcester Bosch combination boiler, maximising storage while maintaining a sleek aesthetic. A further double bedroom and a comfortable single bedroom provide flexibility for family living or home-working arrangements. The three-piece family bathroom serves these spaces and offers the potential to be transformed into a luxurious retreat. The large landing, featuring a storage cupboard, is ideally positioned to accommodate a second staircase, leading to what could become a magnificent second-floor bedroom.

Externally, the home continues to impress. A low stone wall and neat front garden create an inviting approach, while the rear courtyard provides a private, low-maintenance outdoor space. Beyond, the driveway leads to a detached single garage with a corrugated tin roof, ensuring secure off-road parking or potential for a workshop area. Perhaps the most captivating aspect of this property is its setting—offering stunning views towards Whalley Nab, where rolling hills and open skies create an ever-changing and picturesque backdrop.
