Spacious Three-Bedroom Stone Cottage with Excellent Potential

Occupying a convenient position between Waterfoot and Stacksteads, this substantial three-bedroom stone-built cottage offers over 1,000 sq ft of accommodation and represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a home they can modernise and add value to.

The property requires general updating and modernisation throughout, but its generous proportions, traditional stone construction and versatile layout provide all the ingredients for creating an impressive family home. For purchasers prepared to undertake cosmetic improvements, there is considerable scope to enhance both the presentation and desirability of the property.

Internally, an entrance hallway provides access to a good-sized lounge, with a staircase rising to the first floor. To the rear is a particularly spacious dining kitchen, offering plenty of room for both cooking and dining and considerable potential for a contemporary redesign. Beyond the kitchen is a useful rear utility area together with a ground-floor WC.

The first-floor accommodation is equally generous, providing three bedrooms together with a house bathroom, making this a genuine three-bedroom home particularly well suited to couples, families or purchasers seeking additional home-working space.

Externally, the cottage has a small forecourt garden to the front, while to the rear is a further raised garden area accessed via steps, providing valuable outside space and further scope for landscaping and improvement.

The location combines everyday convenience with access to the Rossendale countryside. Waterfoot and Stacksteads are recognised local service centres with shops, community facilities and regular public transport, while the A681 provides connections through the valley towards Bacup and Rawtenstall. Families are also well catered for, with nearby schools including Waterfoot Primary School, Bacup Holy Trinity Stacksteads Church of England Primary School, The Valley Leadership Academy and Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS). The wider area offers a good selection of shops, leisure facilities and countryside walks, with onward road connections towards Rawtenstall, Burnley, Rochdale and the M66/M65 motorway networks.

A larger-than-average stone cottage with three bedrooms, generous living accommodation and gardens, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to modernise a substantial property to individual taste while potentially adding value. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space and potential on offer.
