Cavaliers Cottage, Sabden Road, Simonstone, Lancashire

Cavaliers Cottage and Barn presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional rural property with considerable potential for renovation and redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Occupying an elevated position within open countryside, the property enjoys far-reaching views towards Pendle Hill to the north and across the wider East Lancashire landscape to the south.

Extending to approximately 1,557 sq m (0.38 acres), the property comprises a traditional stone-built cottage, an attached barn and a range of ancillary outbuildings. The combination of existing buildings and generous plot size offers significant scope for redevelopment and may present opportunities for alternative residential uses, subject to planning permission.

The cottage is constructed of stone beneath a stone slate roof, with a single-storey projection to the eastern elevation. The accommodation currently comprises a kitchen, dining room, lounge and study at ground floor level, together with a first-floor large bedroom and bathroom. Having been stripped back internally, the property now requires complete modernisation and refurbishment, with no fitted kitchen or bathroom currently in place.

Adjoining the cottage is a substantial traditional Lancashire stone barn, currently utilised for agricultural storage. A particular feature is the impressive arched cart entrance running through the centre of the building. Internally, the barn benefits from split-level areas historically used as hay lofts together with a number of existing openings which may lend themselves to future conversion opportunities, subject to the necessary consents.

In addition to the cottage and barn, the property benefits from a detached triple garage incorporating a useful ancillary room, a traditional stone outbuilding and a further concrete block building providing useful storage and workshop accommodation. New boundary fencing has recently been installed to clearly define the property ownership which was after the pictures were taken, with the garden now separated from the adjoining agricultural land.

Despite its idyllic rural setting, Cavaliers Cottage is conveniently located for the villages of Sabden, Higham and Fence, whilst the larger centres of Clitheroe and Burnley provide a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure amenities. The M65 motorway network is within easy reach, offering excellent connectivity throughout the region.

The property has been vacant since January 2024 and is offered for sale with vacant possession upon completion with no restrictions.
