This substantial four-bedroom period property, spread over five levels, presents a unique investment opportunity with significant potential for renovation and growth. The home features two reception rooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a large garden, making it ideal for modernization or even redevelopment (pending necessary planning permissions). Positioned prominently on a main road in Crawshawbooth, this stone-built semi-detached residence retains its original charm while offering ample scope for enhancement.
Upon entering the spacious hallway, one is greeted by high ceilings and generous room sizes that reflect the property's heritage. The ground floor boasts a sizable front-facing living room featuring a Multi Fuel burner, perfect for entertaining. Adjacent to this is a separate dining room with another Multi Fuel burner and dual windows that could easily be reconfigured into an open-plan layout.
The kitchen is equipped with wall and base units, a range cooker, and dual aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. A rear porch provides direct access to the garden—a practical feature for everyday use.
The considerable basement area through a trap door offers exceptional potential for additional living space or recreational areas such as a gym or cinema—subject to consents. On the first floor, a generous double bedroom and flexible bathroom arrangements are designed to cater to larger families or future development strategies, including HMO potential.
The upper floors continue to impress with spacious bedrooms filled with natural light, providing options for residential use as well as creative workspaces. The adaptable configuration of these levels supports various family needs or even conversion into more bedrooms if desired.
Externally, the property boasts a mature garden with landscaped areas and storage options alongside a detached garage—features that are increasingly coveted in central village settings. Importantly, planning permission has already been granted for converting neighbouring properties into two modern five-bedroom homes, indicating valuable opportunities for enhanced development nearby.
Located in the vibrant village of Crawshawbooth within Rossendale borough, residents enjoy easy access to local amenities and transportation corridors leading to Manchester and beyond. Properties of this scale with existing planning consent are becoming rare; therefore, whether you are looking at refurbishment or complete redevelopment opportunities, this home could very well be your next ideal project.
