Bury Road, Rawtenstall, Rossendale, BB4 6DJ

Occupying a substantial and mature plot set well back from the road, this impressive 1432 square foot, four-bedroom detached home with two reception rooms and attached garage offers spacious traditional accommodation with excellent long-term potential.

The property enjoys a private setting screened by trees and established planting, together with a long driveway providing extensive parking — a rare combination so close to the town centre amenities.

The house is typical of its era, with generous ceiling heights, large windows and well-balanced room proportions and, although now requiring general modernisation, it provides a superb opportunity for a purchaser to refurbish and potentially extend subject to the relevant permissions.

A covered entrance leads into a central hallway with staircase rising to the first floor and access to the principal rooms.

The front lounge is a well-proportioned reception room with a wide window overlooking the driveway and front garden, creating a bright main sitting space.

To the rear is a second reception room enjoying pleasant views across the garden, ideal as a dining room or family room and offering ample scope for open-plan alteration.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the property with AGA and clear potential to be opened into adjoining areas to form a contemporary kitchen-dining space.

Additional side and rear utility and store areas link the house toward the garage and provide useful practical space with flexibility for future reconfiguration.

At first floor level a central landing gives access to four bedrooms and the bathroom facilities.

The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden, while a second double bedroom faces the front elevation.

Two further bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation suitable for children, guests or home office use.

The bathroom and separate WC are arranged in a traditional layout and offer straightforward scope to combine into a modern family bathroom if desired.

Externally the property stands on a particularly generous plot for a home of its type.

A long private driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the attached garage, while mature trees and hedging create a good degree of privacy from the road.

The rear garden is notably large, mainly laid to lawn with established borders, shrubs and trees extending well beyond neighbouring plots, providing excellent outdoor space and clear potential for landscaping or extension.

A large timber cabin provides a useful opportunity for home office, studio, etc. The integral single garage offers further storage or possible conversion subject to approval.

The property is situated in a convenient and established residential position within Rawtenstall, part of the sought-after Rossendale valley.

The area is popular with families due to its balance of surrounding countryside and everyday amenities, with shops, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities all within easy reach, along with scenic walks nearby.

There are also excellent commuter links via the M66 motorway providing direct access toward Bury and Manchester, making the location particularly attractive for buyers seeking larger homes within commuting distance of the city.

Overall, this is a rarely available opportunity to purchase a sizeable traditional detached property on an exceptional plot, offering character, privacy and development potential and likely to appeal to buyers looking to modernise and create a long-term family home in a convenient Rawtenstall setting.
