The Stables, Highfield Road, Rossendale, BB4 7JS

A stunning modern, detached stone property, constructed in 1995, with 4 acres including an acre of private driveway patio and gardens with a further three acres above with vehicular access and a large plateau, which previously housed a hospital, giving precedent for buildings on this land, and affording outstanding valley views, yet remaining private with wooded perimeters.

A special home, superbly situated with space to extend, this property must be seen to be appreciated.

EPC:D Hidden away, just off Bacup Road, across the Irwell, in Cloughfold on the edge of the countryside and just 1 mile from Rawtenstall's vibrant town centre, this is a fabulous, modern detached family home, set in 4 acres of land, with the strong prospect to further develop.

Accessed via a long, gated driveway, the main residence lies in one acre of manicured land and gardens on the lower level of this plot, whilst above, a road takes you up to a further elevated plateau, where the former isolation hospital once stood and period stone gateposts still mark.
