Set within the highly sought-after village of Helmshore in the heart of Rossendale, this substantial four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow occupies a generous plot and enjoys a wonderful balance of village convenience and countryside living. Helmshore is widely regarded as one of the area’s most desirable locations, offering a strong sense of community, excellent local amenities, well-regarded schools, and superb access to open countryside, including the renowned Musbury Tor, just a short distance away. Scenic walks, cycle routes and panoramic valley views are all part of everyday life here, while commuters benefit from easy access to Rawtenstall, Ramsbottom and the wider M66/M65 motorway network.

Standing proudly on a large, private plot, this spacious and versatile home is ideally suited to both growing families and those looking for comfortable, long-term retirement living. The property is warmed by gas central heating and is fully double glazed, and is offered with no onward chain, making it particularly attractive to buyers seeking a straightforward and early completion.

The accommodation is both flexible and well laid out. An entrance porch opens into a welcoming and spacious hallway with a useful storage cloak cupboard. To the left, the main living room provides an excellent everyday space for relaxing and entertaining with family and friends. This flows naturally through to the dining room, where an open-plan staircase rises to the first floor, creating a light and social hub for the home. From here, double glazed patio doors lead into the large conservatory, a peaceful retreat that enjoys attractive views over the rear garden and provides a perfect space to unwind throughout the seasons.

The kitchen is generously proportioned and fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units with integrated appliances for everyday convenience. A handy utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering further practical storage and workspace, with additional access to a small workshop and the single garage, ideal for hobbies, storage or secure parking.

To the ground floor are two excellent bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal suite. The main bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing room and a private three-piece en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is served by the well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath, wash hand basin and WC. This flexible layout is perfect for those requiring ground-floor sleeping accommodation, multi-generational living or guest space.

To the first floor are two further generous double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks over the rear garden and taking in the natural backdrop towards Musbury Tor, adding to the semi-rural feel despite the convenient village setting.

Externally, the property really comes into its own. The large driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the garage. The front and rear gardens are well established, with mature planting that enhances privacy and kerb appeal. To the rear, an extensive lawned garden is complemented by a paved patio seating area and well-stocked bordered beds, creating an ideal outdoor space for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The garden offers high levels of privacy and shelter, making it a true haven throughout the year.

Homes of this size, condition and versatility in Helmshore are consistently in high demand. With its generous plot, adaptable layout and prime village location close to countryside and amenities alike, this property represents a rare and exciting opportunity. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
