Nestled away from the bustling Bacup Road and positioned on an elevated plot, Ridings Cottage presents a remarkable opportunity for investment and renovation. This three-bedroom stone cottage, accompanied by outbuildings, sits on approximately three-quarters of an acre. Notably, full planning permission has been granted by Burnley Borough Council (Application no ful/2024/0434) for the demolition of the current structure and the development of a new dwelling. The proposed design showcases a thoughtful layout that maximizes breathtaking views across the countryside while providing spacious living areas over two floors. The ground level will feature three generously sized double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom and utility room; there's also a smaller bedroom ideal for use as a home office. Ascending to the first floor reveals an expansive open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area aimed at fostering family togetherness, along with a snug for quieter moments. Additionally, this floor hosts the master suite complete with an en-suite bathroom.
This property offers the unique chance to build your dream home in a serene yet accessible location near Burnley, which boasts amenities such as supermarkets, schools, restaurants, and more—making it suitable for both families and commuters. It’s important to note that while mains electricity is available, drainage currently relies on a septic tank that is not compliant; prospective buyers will need to install their own water source through a borehole. Please be aware of the restrictive covenant attached to this property mandating its use solely as a residential dwelling.
