Buttermere Avenue, Bacup, OL13

If you want the main bedroom on a floor of its own, away from the children's rooms, and the fields on your doorstep, this 2020 detached house in Bacup does both for £350,000. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are spread over three floors, with a south-facing garden landscaped in August 2026.

How the three floors work

Each floor has its own job. The ground floor is for living and eating, the first floor holds three bedrooms and the family bathroom, and the second floor is a self-contained bedroom 1 with en-suite and walk-in storage. Two staircases separate them, so the top floor stays quiet when the rest of the house is busy.

First impressions

Buttermere Avenue sits on the edge of Bacup, looking over fields with hills behind. A driveway takes two cars nose to tail beside a front lawn and hedge. Inside, the hall runs from the front door to the lounge at the back, with the stairs on the left and the kitchen and WC to the right, allowing your upstairs to say totally separate.

Ground floor

The lounge runs the full width of the back of the house, with sliding doors onto the patio. The back faces south, so this is the side of the house that gets the sun. The kitchen diner is at the front, with a bay window that holds a table for four and looks out onto trees.

Gloss handleless units, a glass splashback, built-in oven and integrated fridge freezer sit alongside an induction hob, dishwasher and composite sink fitted in the last six months. The WC has dark metro tiling to half height and botanical wallpaper above.

First floor

Bedroom 2 is at the back, with its own en-suite shower room, heated towel rail and walk-in storage. That makes it a second suite for a teenager or guests. Bedroom 3 is a double with two front windows, and bedroom 4 is set up as an office.

The family bathroom has a shaped bath with shower over, a glass screen and grey tiling to half height.

Second floor

Bedroom 1 has the top floor to itself, under a sloping ceiling with windows front and back. It has its own walk-in storage and an en-suite with corner shower and a roof window.

Outside

An Indian sandstone patio runs across the back of the house from the lounge doors, with a lawn beyond, a gravel corner with planting and a timber shed. Timber fencing runs round all sides, creating your own space away from neighbours.

Around here

The owners bought here in 2020 for the views over the fields and the walks within reach of the house. Several bus stops are close by easy access into the surrounding villages and towns.
