Greenbank Park, Rossendale

Tucked away, snug in the corner, at the end of the cul-de-sac of a hamlet, is number 12 Greenbank Park. Amongst 14 other proud family homes, sits a beautifully peaceful five bedroom property that has been nurtured with love and history. Made to give you everything you need and more.

Sitting on land that historically belonged to the Rathbone family of Rossendale, the area now called Greenbank, is made up mostly of detached houses and appears to be quite an exclusive area off Newchurch Road.

As I stood, flower arranging in the kitchen window, a robin appeared on the road from the stunning Fir tree infront. It made me think of all the memories of loved ones that had once stood where I was throughout the years. Originally, in the 1800's, a large Victorian property named Greenbank House was once the only residence that stood on the land where Greenbank Park is today. Demolished in the mid 20th century, the site was later redeveloped into the small, sort after cul de sac of detached and semi detached houses now known as Greenbank Park.

Many gardens on the hamlet contain original features of the estate such as stone boundaries, trees, steps, gateposts and walls. Number 12 has the original stone wall and you'll notice next door has a stunning arch garden door way which you can admire from the rear windows of number 12 and when sat out in the garden. These features are protected and will stay part of the history and uniqueness of these beautiful homes.

I imagine the kitchen is the heart of this home, where the family spends most of the time talking about each one's day, sharing stories at dinner time over home cooked food or planning their day over breakfast. With access to outdoor, you are able to serve food into the garden in the summer, be a perfect host for family and friends every sunny day making the most out of life in this wonderful home.

The lounge is definitely the cosy part of the house. A space for parents to catch up in the calmer hour of the evening, especially in the colder months. A space to wind down at night, in softer lighting with a glowing coal fire.

The beauty of this home is the extra space that has been created in what used to be the garage, with an added second storey extension. This space is compliant to be a downstairs bedroom and has a modern walk in shower room. This can also be used as a second reception room, It's lighter and has a spring/summer feel to it, perfect for having friends and family round in the day time for more relaxed catch ups and a bright and inspiring space to work from.

The master bedroom above has a fantastic entrance, currently used as a study but would be ideal as a walk-through dressing room to then opening up the bedroom with sliding doors. Plenty of wardrobe space, a high ceiling, a shower ensuite and two sets of patio doors to start your day looking out onto the garden or have them open in the summer months making every morning an absolute pleasure to wake up to.

This stunning home has just the right amount of living space to suit all the family, three more double bedrooms upstairs, a family bathroom, a driveway for multiple cars and in a prestige part of Rawtenstall.

10 nearby bus stops (including access to the Manchester X43 Witchway Bus that runs every 15 minutes at just £6 return) or a pleasant 20 minute stroll into Rawtenstall centre, passing residential areas on a tree lined road, you will have access to; The bus station (main transport hub), Kay Street and Bank Street for shops and cafés, The Whitaker Museum & Art Gallery, Rawtenstall Market, 5 star restaurants and Rawtenstall's main library.
