4 Bed Detached House, Motivated Seller, Rossendale, BB4 4BW £390,000

Next door to the kitchen, consider the potential to open the two rooms up to embrace modern living, potentially with bifolding doors out to the side patio for alfresco dining. High ceiling and built in cabinetry add a touch of prestige to this bountiful and bright room.

Overlooking the front garden, the music room is balanced and light, ideal as a snug, playroom or home office.

Light streams down from the elegant window ornately etched with the figure of a 1920s-dressed lady on the turn in the panelled staircase, ascending to the first floor landing.

Bright and airy, turning left from the top of the stairs, step through into a peaceful double bedroom, carpeted underfoot and with leafy vistas out over the front garden and trees.

Ahead from the stairs, sleep soundly in the second of the bountiful double bedrooms, grandly sized with ample space for a super king size bed and with a feature wash basin. Large windows invite so much light through into each of the bedrooms at Hillcroft.

Along the landing, on the right discover a dressing room, deep and with verdant treetop views out through a leaded window. An ideal size for a walk-in wardrobe or even a study.

Next door to the principal bedroom, sweet slumber awaits within, with ample space for a super king size bed and views out over the mature trees to the front, whose changing hues highlight the shifting of the seasons.

Returning to the large landing, pass the tall, fitted storage cupboards, offering plenty of space for linen and towels, on route to the family bathroom. Tiled to the walls, and furnished with a heated towel radiator, traditional bath with shower and wash basin, light streams in through a large window.

Spacious and bright, there is ample scope to extend and modernise the bathroom, which is served by a separate WC next door. Consider too, the potential to extend the bathroom into the airing cupboard space, whilst converting the separate WC to an ensuite for one of the bedrooms.

Plum tones adorn the walls of the fourth double bedroom where wardrobe storage is available in the alcoves, and views extend over to the side of the home.

Traditionally laid to lawn at the front, a tall screen of mature trees provides privacy from the road.

Moving around, paved pathways meander through the feature trees along the side of the home, arriving at a further area of lawn to the rear, providing plenty of space for children’s games.

Embraced by gardens on three sides, experience the privacy and security this buffer of green provides at Hillcroft. Curiously named, meaning ‘valley of the hazels’, the small, rural town of Haslingden is set on a high hillside in Lancashire’s Rossendale Valley. With plenty of countryside to explore, make your way up to the iconic Halo Panopticon, a spaceship-like structure that glows blue at night. For a romantic evening out take a picnic and watch the sun set. Part of a wider scheme led by the REMADE in Lancashire programme, this artwork is a 21st century landmark symbolising the renaissance of the region. One of the most scenic parts of Haslingden, the Grane Valley is a popular spot amongst walkers; stroll along Grane Road and enjoy walks to the local reservoirs, pop into Holden Wood Antiques or enjoy a refreshing thirst quencher at The Holden Arms. With so much to see and do nearby, Holden Wood Tea Rooms and Clough Head Café are on hand for hot tea and cake following an invigorating tour of the local area. Snig Hole Park, with its gardens and children’s play area, is a popular spot for families, as is the East Lancashire Heritage Railway, while Rossendale Golf Club is also close by. Families are well served by nearby Haslingden Primary School, a short walk from the doorstep. Haslingden St James' Church of England Primary School and St Veronica's Roman Catholic Primary School are also within easy walking distance, whilst nearby is Haslingden High School – all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Commuters are well placed, close to the A56 and M66. Commute with convenience for work or retail therapy to the nearby towns of Rawtenstall, Bury and Manchester to the south, with Burnley, Blackburn and Preston also accessible to the north
