Description

OFFERS OVER: £1,250,000

Nestled in the picturesque rural landscape of the Forest of Trawden, this exceptional stone-built property presents a rare opportunity for established families seeking flexible, multi-generational living with outstanding equestrian facilities. The property's location within this stunning natural forest setting offers a more dramatic and unspoilt landscape than the nearby town of Colne.

Originally constructed in 1714, this historic estate carries centuries of heritage and character. The property is expertly configured to accommodate extended family arrangements, featuring a self-contained annexe that provides independent living space while maintaining close family connections. This thoughtful layout offers privacy and autonomy for relatives whilst keeping loved ones nearby—ideal for families with elderly parents, adult children, or those requiring live-in care arrangements.

The main residence showcases traditional stonework construction with modern updates, offering spacious living areas that seamlessly blend period charm with contemporary comfort. The property's 1714 origins are evident in the authentic period features throughout, including original stonework and architectural details that have been carefully preserved. The heart of the home features an impressive open-plan living and dining area with a striking feature fireplace, bathed in natural light from roof windows and skylights. Exposed stonework and stained glass detailing add character throughout.

Multiple well-proportioned sleeping areas provide comfortable accommodation, each with natural light and views across the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from modern heating systems throughout, ensuring year-round comfort.

The contemporary fitted space offers ample room for family dining, with stylish units, integrated appliances, and attractive tiled splashbacks connecting effortlessly to the dining area.

Horse enthusiasts will be delighted by the purpose-built timber stable block featuring five individual stables with excellent ventilation and secure fencing. The substantial outbuildings include additional storage, garages, and versatile spaces perfect for workshops, hobbies, or potential conversion projects. Planning permissions are already in place for further development of the outbuildings, significantly streamlining any future enhancement projects.

Set within approximately 16 acres of verdant pasture and mature woodland, the property is surrounded by established trees offering shelter and privacy. The elevated position within the Forest of Trawden provides superior natural beauty and tranquility compared to more developed areas around Colne. The views deliver spectacular panoramas across the rolling Lancashire countryside—a constantly changing canvas throughout the seasons.

Well-maintained grounds include lawned areas, gravel parking for multiple vehicles, and fenced paddocks suitable for grazing. A long private driveway ensures seclusion whilst maintaining good road access.

With multiple outbuildings, generous 16-acre grounds, and the existing annexe configuration, this property presents exciting opportunities for further development. With planning permissions already secured, whether you envision additional residential conversions, equestrian business ventures, or simply enhanced family facilities, the possibilities are extensive and ready to implement.

The property is conveniently located near Colne, a lively market town in Lancashire, set against the backdrop of the beautiful Pendle countryside. Rich in history and character, the town is known for its mix of traditional architecture, independent shops, and a thriving arts and culture scene.
