The Reading Room, 11 Spring Street, Ramsbottom. BL0 0DS

A Unique Home in a Semi-Rural Setting

The Reading Room is a beautifully renovated home located in the hamlet of Shuttleworth, just a five-minute drive from Ramsbottom and within easy reach of Rawtenstall and Bury. Originally dating back to the 1860s, the property has been thoughtfully converted and improved to create a spacious, modern home with countryside views.

Set on a quiet street of stone-built homes, the property benefits from off-road parking for two cars to the front. A stone porch leads into a bright and welcoming hallway with contemporary décor and quality flooring. A ground floor WC is located just off the hallway, fitted with a vanity unit, toilet and heated towel rail.

Open-Plan Living

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This large, light-filled room features multiple windows and bi-fold doors opening onto the roof terrace, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with modern units, quartz worktops and a central island, along with integrated appliances including oven, microwave, induction hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and wine fridge.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, offering a generous bedroom, dressing area and a stylish en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, vanity unit and WC.

On the lower level there are three further double bedrooms, one with its own en suite shower room, along with a modern family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over. A separate utility room provides useful additional storage and space for appliances and has its own external access, ideal for returning from walks in the surrounding countryside.

Outside & Location

Outside, the roof terrace provides a fantastic space to sit out and enjoy views across the hills and towards the Peel Monument. Steps lead down to a private patio area, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing.

Shuttleworth offers the best of both worlds, with open countryside on the doorstep and Ramsbottom’s shops, cafés, bars and restaurants just a short drive away. The area is well served by scenic walking routes including Holcombe Hill, Nuttall Park and the Irwell Sculpture Trail. There are also excellent transport links via the M66, M60 and M62, along with bus and train services to Manchester, Bury and beyond.

A range of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are located nearby, including Stubbins Primary, St Andrew’s CE, St Joseph’s RC Primary, Woodhey Secondary and Rossendale Special School, as well as nurseries and grammar schools in the surrounding areas.
