Nelson Road, Briercliffe, BB10 3QE

An Exceptional Grade II Listed Six-Bedroom Country Residence with Attached Cottage, Traditional Barn with Residential Development Potential, Purpose-Built Agricultural and Equestrian Barn and Stabling Occupying an enviable position amidst the picturesque countryside of Briercliffe, Higher House is an outstanding and individually styled country residence, offering an exceptional combination of historic character, beautifully renovated accommodation and remarkable versatility in a highly desirable semi-rural setting. Dating back to circa 1725, this impressive Grade II listed farmhouse has been extensively extended and sympathetically renovated throughout, successfully blending its rich architectural heritage with the comforts and conveniences of contemporary family living. The result is a substantial and beautifully appointed home of considerable distinction, retaining the charm of its origins whilst providing generous and adaptable accommodation ideally suited to modern family lifestyles. The impressive six-bedroom farmhouse is complemented by an attached cottage, offering excellent flexibility for extended family living, guest accommodation or a variety of alternative uses. Adjoining the cottage is a further traditional barn, understood to have previously benefited from planning permission relating to residential conversion. This presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking to create additional independent accommodation, subject to verification of the relevant planning consent, its conditions and current validity. The combination of these buildings provides exceptional scope for multi-generational living or those seeking a country residence with further development potential. Externally, Higher House continues to impress with its excellent range of ancillary buildings, including stabling and a substantial detached agricultural and equestrian barn. These purpose-built facilities further enhance the property’s appeal, particularly for those with equestrian, agricultural or countryside lifestyle interests. Enjoying an attractive position along Nelson Road, Higher House combines the tranquillity and charm of its rural surroundings with the convenience of nearby village amenities. The popular communities of Harle Syke and Worsthorne are within easy reach, whilst Burnley town centre and access to the M65 motorway provide excellent connections throughout the wider Northwest region.
