Brooklands House, Burnley

Occupying a choice position well within this secluded avenue of varying styled and sized period property. Located at the foot of the attractive Brooklands Road, and just-off Todmorden Road, a stones throw away from Towneley Parkland and Golf Club. Only a short distance from the glorious Cliviger valley countryside, yet within a few minutes drive of all the amenities of Burnley town centre, including access onto the M65 motorway.

A truly enchanting detached residence which has to be seen to be appreciated. The life of this property has been resting in recent years, standing silent and waiting patiently for a new chapter. Once the residence of Captain GW George Haffner, a historic wartime hero and a character with deep roots to the town of Burnley, this stone built property affords generous sized reception spaces and five-bedrooms, many of which retain the original character and charm. Realistically the property requires a complete programme of renovation, modernisation and recommissioning which has to be seen to be appreciated. The property sits within approximately an acre of land which has since enveloped the property, the tennis courts and pond hidden somewhere beneath the vegetation, with a private driveway and brick built detached garage a further feature. An accompanied viewing for serious buyers is highly recommended and, given the excitement stimulated so far, advised sooner rather than later.
