Occupying a generous and private plot on the edge of Bacup, this impressive stone-built residence delivers a lifestyle rarely available within such convenient reach of town amenities. The setting immediately establishes the tone, with open aspects, surrounding greenery and the presence of paddocks and stabling creating a true semi-rural atmosphere. It feels peaceful and secluded, yet everyday facilities, schools and commuter links remain easily accessible, allowing the best balance between countryside living and practicality.

The house itself is rich in character and warmth, with traditional features enhancing a welcoming and homely feel throughout. Tall ceilings, decorative detailing and striking fireplaces give each reception space its own personality while still flowing naturally for modern family life. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for both entertaining and quiet relaxation, whether hosting gatherings around the fire in winter or enjoying lighter evenings with doors and windows open to the surrounding views. The dining space forms a natural hub for social occasions and links seamlessly with a contemporary kitchen designed for everyday use, creating a sociable environment where cooking and family time comfortably overlap.

Practicality has clearly been considered alongside charm. A utility area and additional storage spaces are ideal for busy households and particularly suited to country living, keeping outdoor wear, equipment and daily necessities organised and separate from the main living accommodation. The cellar offers further versatility for storage or hobby use, while a conveniently placed shower room is perfect after time spent outdoors.

The upper floors provide extensive and adaptable accommodation suited to a variety of lifestyles. The bedrooms are arranged to allow privacy and flexibility, working equally well for larger families, multi-generational living, guest accommodation or dedicated home working areas. Bathrooms are thoughtfully positioned to serve the home efficiently, while the top floor offers a particularly peaceful retreat that could function as a principal suite, studio space or teenager’s haven away from the main household activity.

Outside is where the property truly excels. The wraparound grounds provide both usable garden space and functional land, allowing children and pets freedom while maintaining clear separation from the equestrian facilities. The grazing paddocks extend the sense of openness, and the riding arena enables year-round use regardless of weather conditions. The stable block, tack facilities and outbuildings create a ready-made setup for horse owners, removing the need for off-site livery and allowing daily routines to take place just steps from the house. Ample parking and courtyard areas add further practicality for trailers, visitors or general family use.

Overall, this is not simply a large period home but a complete lifestyle opportunity. It combines the character and comfort of a substantial family residence with genuine, usable equestrian facilities, offering a rare chance to enjoy countryside pursuits from home without sacrificing accessibility or convenience.
