Makin Gate Barn is an outstanding example of rural living blended seamlessly with modern family life. This beautifully converted four-bedroom, 3 reception room, 2-bathroom semi-detached barn offers exceptionally well-proportioned and meticulously maintained accommodation throughout, set against the stunning backdrop of the Rossendale countryside. With panoramic views, landscaped gardens, and spacious interiors, the property is perfectly suited to buyers seeking a high-quality home in a peaceful yet accessible location.

Occupying a desirable elevated position on Laund Lane in Cribden Side, this home enjoys a picturesque and peaceful setting within the Rossendale Valley — a location known for its natural beauty, open moorland, and far-reaching views. Cribden Side offers the tranquillity of rural life without isolation, with convenient access to the nearby towns of Haslingden and Rawtenstall, as well as excellent commuter links via the A56/M66 to Manchester, Bury and beyond. The area is well served by highly regarded schools, local amenities, scenic walking routes and outdoor leisure opportunities, making this a truly enviable location for families and professionals alike.

Internally, the property has been thoughtfully modernised while retaining many of its original barn features, including exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and rustic character, all sympathetically complemented by contemporary décor and high-quality finishes. The main lounge is a welcoming and elegant space, complete with a woodburning stove, perfect for cosy evenings, while the second reception room offers flexible living space — ideal as a snug, home office, playroom or formal dining area.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan dining kitchen that has been beautifully appointed to create a sociable and functional space for day-to-day family life. Fitted with high-end units and modern appliances, this room is further enhanced by dual-aspect windows which flood the space with natural light and offer lovely garden and countryside views. A separate utility room and ground floor cloakroom/WC add to the practical layout.

The first floor continues to impress with four well-sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal suite which benefits from a private dressing room and en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are all tastefully finished and served by a large, stylish family bathroom. There is also excellent built-in storage and scope to reconfigure the layout to create a fifth bedroom, study or hobby room, depending on the buyer’s needs.
