Halifax Road, Burnley, Lancashire

A fabulous 4 bed stone end cottage with potential one bed annex sat in grounds of approximately 0.66acres.

This generous plot comprises a beautifully lawned area, some woodland and is privately shielded from Halifax Road by a substantial stone wall and mature shrubbery. Whilst the property would benefit from an internal cosmetic improvement, it would be difficult to find a combination of the location, property layout and the large plot such as this opportunity for the requested price.

Built in the 1870’s, the property contains many of its original features including some amazing external lanterns and internal stonework.

Upon entering the cottage, you pass through a stone porchway with stone flooring, solid wood door and UPVC windows, giving further access through to an extended living room. It must be noted that at some point in the past, this property was originally two terrace homes which were combined to make the home that is currently on offer.

Outside

This is arguably the most appealing aspect of this property with approximately 0.66 acres of beautiful grounds, containing a large lawned area, a partial woodland area with seasonal bluebells and an abundance of nature and naturally trodden pathways. The sellers are even including a sit on mower with its own store. The driveway whilst generous and expansive does include the rights for the neighbouring property to park two cars and have access to the side of the property in order that they can access the rear of their property. This doesn’t overly intrude, but needs to be factored accordingly. It has not bothered the current sellers at all as it is purely for rear access purposes only.

VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO SEE THE POTENTIAL THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS TO OFFER.
