Holden Street, Belthorn, Blackburn, Lancashire BB1

Charming 18th century stone country cottage with A large front garden and detached summerhouse.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque rural village of Belthorn, this beautifully extended, three-bedroom character home effortlessly blends period charm with modern comforts. Set in an enviable position, the property boasts a generous front garden complete with a detached summerhouse and decked patio — the perfect retreat for relaxing or entertaining.
The home is rich in traditional features such as beamed ceilings and exposed stonework, while also offering contemporary touches, including a stylish fitted Shaker-style kitchen and a luxurious four-piece ground floor bath/shower room. The deceptively spacious layout provides flexible living accommodation suited to a variety of needs.

A welcoming entrance vestibule, fitted with a modern composite door, opens into a cosy living room, centered around a multi-fuel stove set into an exposed brick chimney breast. To the rear, a larger, second living/dining room features double doors & flows seamlessly into a long, well-equipped kitchen.

At the end of the kitchen, you'll find a beautifully designed bathroom featuring a wet-room-style shower and a rustic sliding barn door leading to a convenient utility room.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is enhanced by an exposed stone wall with ambient concealed lighting, guiding you to three bedrooms: A spacious main double bedroom, a second double bedroom to the rear, and a third single bedroom room both with views.

Outside, the l'-shaped front garden is a true highlight — with a lawn, mature planting, a winding pathway, and a sheltered, decked sun terrace adjoining the charming summerhouse. Fully powered and lit, the summerhouse also includes integrated bench seating with storage.
The property benefits from good vehicular access at both the front and rear, with a private, allocated parking space located at the rear boundary.

Situated on Holden Street just off Belthorn Road (B6232 Elton Road), the home offers easy access to the M65 motorway and Blackburn city centre. For lovers of the outdoors, the West Pennine Moors are right on your doorstep, with excellent commuting routes to Rossendale and Bolton via Edgworth.
