Brooklands Road, Burnley

An Elegant Victorian Residence in a Prestigious Conservation Area

Built in 1862 as a distinguished Gentleman’s Residence, this striking semi-detached home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for 38 years. Known as Towneley Villas, the property is steeped in history and brimming with original period charm — complemented by sympathetic restoration and tasteful décor featuring William Morris, Sanderson, and Laura Ashley designs. The upper floor windows feature reproduction Victorian-style stained glass, matching the original designs safely stored in the cellar.

Set in mature, beautifully landscaped gardens within a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac, the home offers a unique blend of space, character, and convenience, being just a short stroll from Towneley Park & Golf Course, Burnley Manchester Road Station, and Burnley town centre.
