OFFERING FIVE SPACIOUS BEDROOMS, GRAND RECEPTION ROOMS AND REMARKABLE ORIGINAL FEATURES THROUGHOUT INCREDIBLE FLEXIBILITY AS A STUNNING FAMILY HOME OR EXCITING REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY (STP). A TRULY RARE FREEHOLD PROPERTY IN A PRIME CENTRAL LOCATION.

Landmark Residence Rich in History, Character & Opportunity. Occupying a commanding position within the heart of the town, Heritage House is a truly remarkable Grade II listed-style period residence (not listed unless confirmed) believed to date back to around 1860. Offering over three floors of beautifully proportioned accommodation, this substantial 3897 SQ FT freehold property seamlessly combines fascinating historical significance with versatile modern living, presenting an exceptional opportunity for growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking a property with exciting future potential.

Having fulfilled many roles throughout its distinguished history—including hosting court hearings during the early 1900s before later serving as solicitors' offices, restaurants and cafés—Heritage House has been lovingly enjoyed as a private family home for the past quarter of a century. Today it retains a wealth of original character while offering generous accommodation that can easily adapt to a variety of lifestyles.

The impressive entrance hall immediately sets the tone, welcoming you with high ceilings, period detailing and a wonderful sense of grandeur. From here, two elegant reception rooms provide excellent living and entertaining space. The bright and spacious living room enjoys large sash-style windows that flood the room with natural light, creating an inviting yet cosy atmosphere.

Opposite, the formal dining room is equally impressive and offers direct access to the property's remarkable barrel-vaulted cellar, whilst an original oversized safe remains proudly in place as a fascinating reminder of the building's former life as a solicitor's practice.

The sweeping staircase rises to the first floor where the well-appointed kitchen provides ample storage, workspace and room for informal dining, making it ideal for everyday family life. This level also accommodates two generously proportioned double bedrooms together with a family bathroom, conveniently accessed from both the landing and kitchen.

Ascending to the upper floor reveals three further spacious bedrooms, complemented by an additional dressing room and a private ensuite serving this level, creating flexible accommodation perfectly suited to larger families, guest accommodation or home working.

One of Heritage House's most intriguing features lies beneath the property. The extensive cellar benefits from both electricity and water supplies and has enjoyed numerous uses throughout its lifetime. Originally incorporating what was historically referred to as a 'dungeon', complete with its original steel door frame still intact, the space was later transformed into a characterful entertaining area featuring a bar and dining space. Today it offers enormous potential for storage, hobbies or future conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

Further practical benefits include gas central heating via a well-maintained Baxi boiler installed approximately ten years ago and recently serviced, together with smart gas and electricity meters. To the rear of the property, residents benefit from convenient access to a free public car park.

Offering an abundance of space, character and flexibility, Heritage House presents exciting possibilities for future owners. Whether retained as an impressive family residence or explored for alternative uses such as apartments, HMO accommodation or commercial redevelopment (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents), this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most distinctive period buildings.

Location Perfectly positioned within the centre of town, Heritage House enjoys immediate access to an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, all within comfortable walking distance. Families will appreciate the choice of well-regarded local primary and secondary schools nearby, while commuters benefit from excellent road links towards Manchester, Burnley and Blackburn. Todmorden Railway Station is approximately fifteen minutes away, providing direct rail services to Manchester, Leeds and beyond, making this an ideal location for those seeking both convenience and connectivity.
