Gregory Fold, Rossendale

Gregory Fold is located in one of the most highly regarded areas of Rossendale, in the popular village of Helmshore, known for its idyllic rural walks and captivating views.

A home that has been loved since 2011, the current owners are now looking to relocate. Although sad to leave, they are excited to see who will be the next owners to enjoy many more years here and make it their own .

The attractive front garden gives the property lovely kerb appeal while the driveway provides convenient off-road parking, particularly appreciated given the property's position opposite Helmshore Primary School. To the rear, the garden is positioned to make the most of the later afternoon and evening sunlight, with opportunities to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

Perfect for families needing just that little bit of extra room, the property also provides additional usable space within the converted attic, accessed via a pull-down ladder. Brilliant for a teen to escape!

The kitchen and utility area has to be one of the spaces that stood out to me the most, particularly where the view out towards the garden is perhaps at its best. There is so much potential here to explore different design ideas and really consider how the utility space could be incorporated or reimagined to make the most of the space available. One of the things I loved about this property is that you couldn't ask for a more desirable location, and with that already firmly in place, the opportunity to develop what's already a brilliant home is exciting, making this an even more attractive choice.

Gregory Fold sits on the edge of a modern residential development, where newer homes where built around the historic character of the original fold. At its heart sit the admired Fold House and Gregory Fold Barn — original Grade II listed buildings that give this sought-after location its identity. It is this mix of old and new that has made Gregory Fold such a desirable place to live with the added bonus of the convenient position opposite Helmshore Primary School.

It might seem to be a 'tucked-away' village, but this property is well placed for commuters, with convenient access to the A56 and onward motorway connections towards Manchester, Bury, Blackburn and the wider North West. You wouldn't necessarily realise how well connected you are when you're living here which is the attraction of having a semi-rural lifestyle.

You can walk to the more convenient shops such as Neary's general store located on Helmshore Road around the corner or across the roundabout onto the Parade you will find a Post Office, Pearson's Cafe, a Pharmacy and further down Broadway you have a dry cleaners and for your larger shops you have Tesco Superstore a short drive away.

There are some really good lifestyle amenities nearby. The Cotton House is a very popular family-friendly restaurant and bar on Helmshore Road, while The Loom Café & Bar sits by Helmshore Mills and Robin Hood Inn is on Holcombe Road.

For families, there is plenty close by to keep younger residents entertained. The nearby Adrenaline Centre is home to Grip & Go climbing, laser tag, roller skating and children's activities. The Hill in Rawtenstall offers skiing, snowboarding and tubing, while Snig Hole is a much-loved local spot for families. Monkey Playland is also nearby for younger children, alongside Helmshore Mills Textile Museum and a wider choice of activities throughout Rossendale.

I could go on about everything I love about this area and property all day, but what would be even better is having the opportunity to personally show you around, talk you through the home and answer any questions you may have. So, please do give me a call and book your viewing.
