Burnley Road, Weir, Rossendale, OL13

Set within the charming village of Weir and framed by sweeping countryside, this fabulous extended stone terraced cottage offers an inviting lifestyle opportunity with no onward chain, making an early completion entirely achievable.

From the moment you arrive, the property feels timeless yet welcoming, a beautifully presented home that would suit first-time buyers searching for space, character and a sense of place.

A sheltered entrance vestibule opens into the main living room, where natural daylight floods through the front-facing window and the gorgeous wood burner casts a warm glow, creating a cosy focal point and an additional source of heat on cooler evenings. This is a room designed for slowing down, for relaxing after a long day, and for enjoying the comfort of a traditional cottage enhanced by thoughtful modern touches. The staircase rises neatly to the first floor, while a door leads through to the dining room beyond.

The dining room enjoys views over the enclosed rear courtyard, offering an intimate and atmospheric setting for entertaining or enjoying peaceful mealtimes. From here, the kitchen continues the sense of style, fitted with a modern collection of wall and base units and finished in a striking blue that adds personality without compromising the home’s classic appeal.

Upstairs, the first floor offers an unusually generous layout with two large double bedrooms. The master bedroom forms the ‘Flying Freehold’ over No. 180, a feature explained fully in the main details below, and both rooms deliver the kind of space rarely found in cottages of this style. The attractive three-piece bathroom, complete with panelled bath, wash hand basin and WC, complements the accommodation beautifully and adds to the overall feeling of comfort.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a traditional palisade garden to the front and an enclosed courtyard at the rear, perfect for outdoor dining, container gardening or simply enjoying a quiet moment in the fresh air. With open countryside on the doorstep, the home is ideally placed for those who love walking, riding or exploring the outdoors, while excellent links to Bacup, Burnley and Todmorden—both Burnley and Todmorden offering direct rail connections—make travel to Manchester, Preston, Leeds and beyond entirely convenient.

This is a home that blends rural tranquillity with everyday practicality, offering charm, space and a wonderful lifestyle in a sought-after village setting.

Buyers Notes. Please note that this property includes a Flying Freehold. We advise that you seek clarification from your solicitor, lender, and surveyor to fully understand the implications.
A Flying Freehold refers to a situation where a portion of a freehold property either overhangs or underlies another freehold. Common examples include a room located above a shared passageway in a semi-detached house or a balcony that extends over a neighbouring property.

It is possible to obtain a mortgage on a property with a Flying Freehold; however, it will typically require a specialist mortgage product. Due to the legal complexities and potential maintenance obligations involved, not all lenders are willing to provide finance on such properties. That said, securing a mortgage is often more straightforward if the Flying Freehold affects only a small part of the property.
