Charming Grade II Listed Stone Home with Panoramic Views – Church Street, Rawtenstall
Characterful | Spacious | Versatile Living Over Three Floors

Nestled discreetly behind a handsome double-fronted sandstone façade, this deceptively spacious Grade II listed home offers a rare combination of period charm and modern practicality. Tucked away within a quiet enclave of unique historic properties and overlooking a landscaped green space, this beautifully preserved 17th-century residence enjoys stunning elevated views to the rear, all within easy reach of excellent schools and commuter routes.

Accommodation is arranged across three generous levels, with standout features including two large double bedrooms, a beautifully appointed vaulted basement currently serving as a home office and games room, and a tranquil, low-maintenance rear garden.

Step through the original central entrance into a spacious hallway, where a modern double-glazed internal window allows light to flood in. To the front is a welcoming lounge with wood-effect laminate flooring, leading into a central study area and practical utility/store room. The rear of the property houses a stylish and well-equipped dining kitchen, complete with an integrated dishwasher, a gas range cooker, and ample storage, making it the ideal hub for family meals and entertaining.

From the rear hallway, wide staircases connect both upper and lower floors. The lower ground floor boasts a character-rich vaulted brick basement with exposed stonework, currently set up as a flexible workspace and utility area, complete with a feature gas 'stove' fire. A secondary vaulted space, currently used for laundry, also offers exciting potential for conversion.

Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms offer comfort and charm, with the rear room taking full advantage of the spectacular countryside views. A modern bathroom fitted with a white three-piece suite and a walk in shower completes the interior.

To the rear, the private garden is both peaceful and practical, with a stone-flagged patio perfect for outdoor seating, handy brick storage, and a neatly maintained lawn bordered by shrubs.

Ideally located for families and professionals alike, this charming home is just a short walk from Rawtenstall & Bacup Grammar School and the local shops and amenities of Waterfoot. With excellent access to the A56, Burnley, and wider commuter links, this is a rare opportunity to own a unique slice of local history.
