Heritage House, Charming & Historic 5-Bedroom Freehold Property in a Central Location

Steeped in history and full of character, this substantial five-bedroom property—believed to date back to around 1860—offers a unique blend of period charm and modern convenience. Having served a variety of purposes over the years, from court hearings in the early 1900s to offices, restaurants, and cafes, it has been a cherished residential home for the past 25 years.

Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a high-ceilinged entrance hall, rich in character and history. From here, two generously sized reception rooms unfold. To the right, the inviting living room boasts impressive large windows that flood the space with natural light while still maintaining a cosy feel. To the left, the grand dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining, featuring access to the cellar and a striking large safe—a nod to the property's past as a solicitor’s office.

From this level, the grand staircase leads you upwards to the next floor, where you’ll find the well-equipped kitchen, complete with cupboards, a table, and a cooker, ready for immediate use. This floor also provides access to two spacious bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom, conveniently accessible from both the kitchen and the bedrooms. Continuing up another set of stairs, you’ll discover a further three bedrooms and storage room, which are served by a private ensuite, offering added comfort and convenience.

A fascinating feature of this home is the cellar, which has its own electricity and water supply. Historically, this space housed a ‘dungeon’ with a steel door frame still intact, later transforming into a vibrant dining area with a bar at one end.

Positioned in a highly central location, the property is within walking distance of local shops and cafes. It also benefits from excellent commuter transport links to Manchester, Burnley, and Blackburn, as well as being surrounded by popular local schools.

Modern comforts include gas central heating powered by a well-maintained Baxi boiler (installed 10 years ago and recently serviced), along with smart gas and electricity meters. Residents typically use the free car park located at the rear.

With its rich history, grand proportions, and flexible living space, this property offers incredible scope to be used as the purchaser so desires—whether as a spacious family home or with the potential for redevelopment.
