Nestled away from the A671 in a slightly elevated position, this stone-built cottage currently features two bedrooms and includes various outbuildings, all set within approximately three-quarters of an acre. The property presents significant renovation and investment potential, particularly given the recent planning approval granted by Burnley Borough Council (Application no FUL/2024/0434) for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a new dwelling.
The approved plans propose a thoughtfully designed home that maximizes scenic views over open countryside while offering spacious living areas spread across two levels. The ground floor is planned to encompass three double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom, family bathroom, utility room, and an additional single bedroom that would be ideal for use as a home office. Upstairs, a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates a central gathering space complemented by a cozy snug for quieter moments. Furthermore, the master suite with its own en-suite is conveniently situated on this upper level.
This property not only provides an opportunity to craft a bespoke residence but also enables future owners to infuse their personal style and character into the design—subject to applicable planning requirements.
Located in a semi-rural area close to Burnley, this plot offers easy accessibility to essential amenities such as supermarkets, schools at both primary and secondary levels, dining options, and local services. Its proximity to major transport links makes it attractive for both families seeking a peaceful lifestyle and commuters needing access to larger urban centers.
Current services include mains electricity; however, drainage is managed via a septic tank that is reportedly not compliant with general binding rules. Potential buyers will need to install their own borehole for water consumption. It's important for interested parties to conduct their own due diligence regarding service conditions.
Additionally, please note there is a restrictive covenant stipulating that the property is designated solely for single residential dwelling use; this will be applicable to future owners as well. This presents an opportunity not just for renovation but also long-term investment in an evolving area with growth potential.
