Moorfell Barn, Hurstwood Village

Occupying this most desirable rural setting, escaping beyond the outer reaches of urban sprawl within this most picturesque of hamlets. Located beneath Hurstwood Reservoir, and nestled beside dense Pine woodland the name Hurstwood is probably taken from the old-English word ‘Hyrst’, thought to mean a wooded prominence. Hurstwood itself is steeped in local history, with many of the properties dating back as far as 1579, in the case of Hurstwood Hall; and with those such as the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser believed to have had family here. The quiet, tranquil location is still accessed only via Hurstwood Lane, and boasts the most stunning varied landscape immediately on the doorstep, whilst being within approximately ten minutes’ drive from all the amenities of Burnley town centre.

Enclosed within an exclusive courtyard and forming part of the barn to the 17th century Grade II listed farmhouse nearby, this highly desirable barn conversion has been both extensively and sympathetically converted, as part of a considerable development programme. Internally the property oozes charm and character, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere created not least by exposed stonework, timber floors and exposed timber beams to ceilings. Modern gas central heating has not intruded into bright reception spaces and bedrooms, instead installed under the floor at both ground and first floor level, whilst sealed unit double glazing complements deep stone sills and exposed timber lintels over openings. The impressive reception space has to be seen to be appreciated, with double opening glazed doors to an attractive breakfast kitchen opens into a good-sized lawned garden to the rear. There are three double-sized bedrooms to the first floor, an ensuite to the master and a luxury house bathroom. The private courtyard to the development is accessed via a private lane and enclosed by dry stone walling with allocated car-parking, whilst at the rear is a level private garden laid to lawn with paced patio area. An early viewing is highly recommended.
