Description
Colne occupies a strategic location close to the southern entrance of the Aire Gap, which offers the lowest crossing of the Pennine watershed. The M65 terminates just west of the town and from here two main roads take traffic onwards towards the Yorkshire towns of Skipton (A56, 11 miles) and Keighley (A6068). Colne railway station represents the current terminus of the East Lancashire railway line, which until 1970 extended northwards towards Skipton. Colne is surrounded by beautiful villages and open countryside, which have helped to fuel a recent growth in tourism. The hamlet of Wycoller with its historic pack horse bridge and clam bridge, said to date back to the Iron Age, lies to the south-east in Brontë Country. The ruin of Wycoller Hall is thought to be the inspiration for Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.
Planned over two floors with hardwood double glazed windows, solid oak staircase, and fabulous floor coverings of Brazilian slate and engineered oak, this is a beautifully-presented home and well worth internal inspection, with the accommodation described in brief below using approximate room sizes:-
GROUND FLOOR
DINING AREA
The dining room features Brazilian slate flooring with underfloor heating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Doors open to both the front and side of the property, allowing natural light to flood the space. An open return oak staircase leads to the first floor, accentuated by low-level LED lighting. Recessed spotlights further enhance the room's modern appeal.
KITCHEN AREA
A range of slate grey Siematic Acrylic wall and base units with soft-close doors, including full-height larder and storage cupboards, offers both style and functionality. Integrated appliances include a double oven, plate warmer, induction four-ring hob, high-spec angled extractor, refrigerator, dishwasher, and freezer. Silestone Natural Quartz worktops surround an inset Belfast-style stainless steel 1½ bowl sink, while a breakfast bar adds additional seating. Brazilian slate flooring with underfloor heating creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, and a Velux roof window floods the space with natural light. Recessed spotlighting and low-level LED lighting add to the room’s modern appeal.
UTILITY ROOM
The utility room houses an oil-fired boiler and offers plumbing for an automatic washing machine, with a cupboard for the dryer. Fitted cupboards provide storage, and a circular bowl sink is set against dark worktops. Access to the single-storey roof space (loft) is also available, adding extra convenience.
SHOWER ROOM
A contemporary three-piece white suite comprises a spacious walk-in shower with a glass screen, a wall-mounted hand basin, and a low suite WC with a concealed cistern. The heated towel rail adds comfort, while recessed spotlights enhance the modern feel. Travertine tiled walls and floors, along with underfloor heating, complete this stylish, functional space.
SNUG/BEDROOM FOUR
Formerly a garage, this versatile room features double oak doors opening to the outside. A fitted shelved storage cupboard houses the fuse box, while laminate oak flooring with underfloor heating adds warmth and style. Recessed spotlights provide ample light, and there’s access to the inspection chamber for the septic tank.
SITTING AREA
A multi-fuel cast iron stove with an oak mantle and contemporary tiled hearth adds character to this sitting area. Engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating ensures warmth and style, complemented by recessed spotlights for a modern feel. French windows lead out to a timber-decked southerly patio, offering stunning views that make this space truly special.
FIRST FLOOR
LANDING
Exposed to the ridge with stunning open beams, the landing adds character and charm, offering a spacious and airy feel.
BEDROOM ONE
Bedroom One features a built-in oak veneer headboard that doubles as a stylish room divider. An extensive range of high-gloss wardrobes, complete with double rails, drawers, and overhead cupboards, provides ample storage. Exposed ceiling beams add character, while floor-to-¾ height windows on two sides frame fantastic long-range views, creating a bright and inviting space.
EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM
A contemporary three-piece white suite includes a corner shower cubicle, hand basin set within a vanity unit, and a low suite WC with concealed cistern. Karndean tiled flooring with underfloor heating adds comfort, while a fitted cupboard provides useful storage. Low-level coloured LED lighting, a mirror light, and a heated towel rail complete this well-appointed space.
BEDROOM TWO
The second bedroom features full-width range of white acrylic fitted wardrobes offers excellent storage with double rails, drawers, and cupboards. Exposed beams add charm, while a low-level barn door window frames truly amazing views, making this a peaceful and characterful retreat.
HOUSE BATHROOM
Contemporary three-piece white suite includes a large bath with modern shower, wall-mounted hand basin, and low suite WC with concealed cistern. Ceramic tiled flooring with underfloor heating brings comfort, while low-level coloured LED lighting and a heated towel rail add modern touches. Exposed beams finish the space with rustic charm.
BEDROOM THREE
Fantastic built-in mezzanine creates a unique play area above the bed space, comfortably accommodating up to a super king-size bed below. Laminate oak flooring and windows to two sides and a Velux roof window with electric blind ensure plenty of natural light throughout the day.
EXTERNAL
GARDENS AND LAND
Approached from Skipton Old Road via a tarmac drive, the property opens into a wide turning area with gravelled parking. A neatly kept lawn, two timber decked patio areas and stone walling enhance the outdoor space. A five-bar gate leads to the adjoining paddock, measuring approximately 1.5 acres—ideal for pony grazing. Outside power is in place for added convenience, and all of this is set against a backdrop of truly breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
GARAGE
The detached garage provides plenty of space for vehicles or storage, with the water purification system housed here for convenience. Down the stairs to the side of the garage, a separate storeroom offers additional storage space—ideal for tools, outdoor gear, or seasonal items.
STABLE
Stable is currently set up as a workshop but is designed to incorporate a separate tack and store rooms as well as stabling for a large pony or horse, with water and power already in place. Two stable doors—one to the side and one to the front—plus front access make it highly functional. Could easily be reinstated as a stable or potentially converted into a further dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permissions and checks.
