Holcombe Road, Helmshore, Rossendale, Lancashire, BB4

INTERNAL VIEWING IS ESSENTIAL TO APPRECIATE THE SIZE AND QUALITY OF THIS SANDSTONE BUILT COTTAGE ! . THE COMBINATION OF TWO UNIQUE HOUSES DATING BACK TO THE 18th CENTURY, THIS SUPERB HOME TASTEFULLY FUSES DECEPTIVE, CONTEMPORARY LIVING ACCOMMODATION OVER FOUR DISTINCTIVE FLOORS YET RETAINS MANY OF THE PERIOD & CHARACTER DETAILS.

Commanding the central position in a row of only three homes, reputed to be amongst the oldest in Helmshore Village, the cottage enjoys woodland front views with ample parking along Sunnybank Road and aspects over Alden Brook at the rear.

Entering by a composite, split stable- style door you are greeted by an impressive, open plan living room complete with a recently installed multi-fuel fire recessed into the chimney breast. Engineered solid wood flooring flows to the rear facing dining room, with spindled staircases leading to both the lower and first floors. Arriving on the lower ground floor, a cosy sitting or family room has been created with access to a concealed, neat new shower room with W.C. Feature tiled steps with an etched, glazed door then guide you from the sitting room directly into a stylish breakfast kitchen. Thoughtfully planned to incorporate a peninsular breakfast bar with the sink and hob/hood facility, the kitchen is recently fitted with pastel  sage green coloured units, integral dishwasher and twin integral electric ovens & a matching microwave. A recessed fireplace compliments the room with an electric 'stove' focal point fire and French Double Doors open out into the private, fully enclosed rear garden.

The first floor offers a landing with a good size single bedroom and bathroom to the rear plus an inner landing with clever, hidden under stairs wardrobe space giving access to the fitted, double front bedroom. The long bath/shower room is a true delight with freestanding bath, basin and concealed cistern W.C. combined with a walk-in, fully tiled 'Wet Room' style shower area.

A staircase from the inner landing leads to a spacious loft or potential guest room. Presently classified as ancillary accommodation due to Building Regulations, this room enjoys lots of natural light from two rear facing 'Velux' windows and has exposed stone work to the recessed chimney breast.

Holcombe Road is a delightful location on the fringe of the Village and within a short walking distance of the popular 'Snig Hole' Park along the banks of Alden Brook. Primary Schooling and local shops are situated with half a mile at Broadway with easy Motorway Access at Haslingden and the 'Bent Gate' Roundabout.
