SEE THE VIDEO TOUR FOR THIS HOME

Positioned along one of Rossendale’s most characterful and charming streets, this beautifully presented period home blends traditional features with thoughtful modern updates – all within walking distance of Rawtenstall town centre, scenic countryside, and well-regarded schools. Set back from the road and recently recognised on the “Properties of Interest” list, it offers the appeal of a heritage home without the restrictions of listed status – a rare find in a sought-after setting.

Inside, the ground floor is filled with warmth and original charm. The lounge welcomes you with exposed stone, original beams, and a log-burning stove – a cosy retreat for evenings at home. To the rear, the spacious kitchen and dining area retains its traditional character, with a stone floor, wooden cabinetry, and a fantastic log burner, while modern upgrades – including a Baumatic hob, NEFF dishwasher and Hoover extractor fan – add everyday convenience. This floor also benefits from clever built-in storage and direct access to the enclosed garden.

On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The front-facing bedroom is a standout – generously sized with deep-set walls, plenty of natural light, and the added bonus of a walk-in wardrobe, with further understairs storage tucked neatly to the side. The second bedroom overlooks the rear, and both are well-served by a recently updated bathroom, which includes modern fittings and built-in storage within the boiler cupboard.

The top floor offers a superb principal suite, complete with en suite shower room and a separate dressing room. Thanks to its generous proportions, the dressing room naturally lends itself to being used as a fourth double bedroom. While many may continue to use it for its current purpose, it could easily be reconfigured as an official fourth bedroom if required, and the current owners use it as a nursery. This entire floor has been newly insulated, painted, and carpeted, and also benefits from excellent eaves storage along the back and into the en suite, making the most of the space available.

Throughout the home, modern upgrades have been made with great care to preserve its historic character. New oak cottage doors, upgraded lighting, re-plastered walls, energy-efficient radiators, and secure front and rear doors are just a few of the thoughtful touches that enhance both style and practicality.

Outside, the home enjoys front and rear gardens, newly fenced and gated for privacy. The rear garden has been re-landscaped by the current owners, replacing old decking and fencing with a neat lawn and re-paving with Indian stone to create an attractive and low-maintenance space. The garden also benefits from a sunny, south-facing aspect, with additional space down the side of the house – ideal for storing outdoor items such as bikes, toys, or garden equipment.

Parking
While the property does not currently have a designated parking space, there is potential to create one. The property has rear access from the lane behind, and by removing part of the rear fence, a secure off-road parking area could be created (subject to any necessary permissions). In the meantime, the owners typically park directly opposite the house on the roadside without issue.

The Area
Situated on a friendly, community-focused street with a welcoming local pub nearby, the home is also perfectly placed for countryside walks, Cowpe Lowe, and Rossendale Leisure Centre – all within walking distance. Families will appreciate the proximity to several good and outstanding-rated schools and nurseries, along with convenient bus routes to Manchester and beyond.

With generous proportions, timeless character, and a long list of thoughtful improvements, 455 Newchurch Road is a rare opportunity to own a home that truly offers the best of both worlds – historic charm and modern comfort, in a location that really does have it all.
