A BEAUTIFUL STONE COTTAGE WITH COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS. THREE FLOORS OF CHARM, CHARACTER AND FLEXIBILITY. A STUNNING FOUR-TIERED LANDSCAPED REAR GARDEN. A TRULY SPECIAL HOME THAT MUST BE VIEWED.


Enjoying a slightly elevated position with far-reaching views across open countryside to both the front and rear, this beautifully presented stone cottage is a truly distinctive home, combining traditional character with well-planned accommodation arranged over three delightful floors.

From the moment you arrive, the property makes a lasting impression, with its attractive stone elevations and raised cottage-style front garden. Stepping inside, a generous entrance vestibule provides an ideal space for coats, shoes and everyday essentials before leading through into the principal living room.

The main living room is full of character, with a charming inglenook fireplace housing a log-burning stove, creating an attractive focal point and providing additional warmth during the colder months. A feature spindle staircase rises from here, adding further character as it twists and turns towards the upper floors. A front-facing window takes full advantage of the property's elevated position and the open views beyond.

To the rear of the property, overlooking the beautifully landscaped garden, is the kitchen. Fitted with a range of cream shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by wood-effect laminate worktops, there is a good level of storage and preparation space together with provision for a slot-in gas cooker. Double French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the kitchen and outdoor space and making this an ideal area for entertaining during the warmer months.

Moving to the first floor, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The front bedroom enjoys views across the surrounding countryside, while the rear bedroom looks directly over the impressive garden and open fields beyond.
The bathroom arrangement has been cleverly split into two separate areas, adding a real degree of practicality to family life. One room houses a bath and wash hand basin with vanity unit, while the second contains a WC and further wash hand basin. This thoughtful layout should prove particularly useful during busy mornings.

From the first-floor landing, a further staircase continues to the second floor, where the current owners have created a fantastic additional space. Although this area is not signed off as a bedroom, it benefits from a good ceiling height, roof window and heating and is currently utilised by the owners as a master bedroom. It offers excellent flexibility and could equally provide a home office, hobby room, occasional guest space or additional sitting area, subject to any necessary permissions and consents.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The raised cottage-style garden to the front complements the character of the house, while the rear garden is undoubtedly one of its standout features. Backing directly onto open fields, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped across four tiers, creating a series of attractive and usable outdoor spaces. Featuring artificial lawns, decked patio areas, established planting and a striking Monkey Puzzle tree, the garden provides an exceptional setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding countryside. The combination of privacy, landscaping and open views makes this a particularly special outside space.

THE LOCATION Situated on Todmorden Road in the popular Sharneyford area of Rossendale, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting surrounded by open countryside while remaining within easy reach of the area's amenities. The nearby towns of Bacup and Todmorden provide a good range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities, while Rawtenstall is also readily accessible.

Rail link from Todmorden to Manchester, Preston, and beyond located just 10 minutes away. Road links connect the property with neighbouring Rossendale communities and onward towards the M66 and wider motorway network, making this an appealing location for those seeking a countryside setting without becoming isolated.
