4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Barley, Nelson BB9

Set at the stunning base of Pendle Hill, Barley, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this truly unique home is believed to date back to circa 1605 and offers a rare blend of history, character and modern family living. Originally formed from a cottage, barn and stable, the property has been thoughtfully transformed over the years into a one-of-a-kind residence full of warmth, individuality and impressive space.

Internally, the home is rich in character, with exposed original beams, thick walls, oak flooring, vaulted ceilings and beautifully designed living spaces. The hand-painted oak kitchen with granite worktops and breakfast bar sits at the heart of the home, while the rear extension provides a stunning vaulted living space with an Austroflamm wood burning stove. The former wood store now creates a striking summer room with aluminium sliding doors and an inbuilt log burner, giving the room a cosy feel all year round, even when the landscape outside is covered in winter snow. The main open living space is perfectly positioned to enjoy breathtaking views towards Bouldsworth Hill and beyond. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a fully tiled wet room style en suite, a further bedroom has its own shower facilities, and a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Every bedroom enjoys unreal views.

Externally, the property is equally special, with a 3 acre Christmas tree forest and a substantial 4,000 sq ft barn currently used as a workshop, gym and parking area. Subject to the relevant planning and consents, we feel this building could offer exciting alternative potential, particularly given the steady flow of walkers drawn to the famous Pendle Hill.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark home in one of Lancashire’s most picturesque settings.
