Substantially constructed in cut and dressed Yorkshire stone with a heavy grey slate roof and attractive corbelled eaves, this superb family home offers in excess of 2600 sq ft of living space exuding charm & character throughout and retaining many original features.

To the first floor are 4 double Bedrooms (the master having a large En-Suite Wet Room), a single 5th Bedroom or Study and a family Bathroom; the whole enjoying lovely views over open countryside in all directions.

The current owners have spent the last 5 years painstakingly improving the house with particular reference to extensive damp proofing works, partial insulating and replastering to the first floor, a full re-wire, new windows to the north and east sides of the property and re-decoration throughout. They had further plans to create a superb open plan Living & Dining Kitchen to the rear opening up to the garden which could be completed by prospective purchasers to their own taste & specification.

The property occupies substantial grounds in a delightful location on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border surrounded by open fields but also within a short drive of the well respected village of Cowling; ideally suited to those seeking the true pleasures of semi-rural living but also practically located for those who commute to work, having excellent links to Manchester via the M65 and Leeds also within less than an hour's drive.
