Built in 1862 as a distinguished Gentleman’s Residence, this striking semi-detached home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for 38 years. Known as Towneley Villas, the property is steeped in history and brimming with original period charm — complemented by sympathetic restoration and tasteful décor featuring William Morris, Sanderson, and Laura Ashley designs. The upper floor windows feature reproduction Victorian-style stained glass, matching the original designs safely stored in the cellar.
Set in mature and elevated position with stone steps leading to the front door, beautifully landscaped gardens and a courtyard and a water feature to the rear with total privacy. Within a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac which is also a conservation area, the home offers a unique blend of space, character, and convenience, being just a short stroll from Towneley Park & Golf Course, Burnley Manchester Road Station, and Burnley town centre.
