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:-

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.
