and successful schooling institutions and is an ideal place to raise a family.

Accommodation Enjoying a centre of village position with glorious aspects to the rear, this amazing early

Victorian home (believed 1842) was once the summer home of a wealthy mill owner from

Rossendale. Such was the family's love of the arts they commissioned the renowned architect

Professor Mellor ARIBA in 1953 to create a modernistic music room for them to entertain and

be entertained.

Since the mid-1970s it has been a happy family home for the present owners. During their

tenure they have invested heavily in the fabric of the property and the quality of their

improvements is clearly evident. This is an excellent family home and we strongly recommend

you view.

A magnificent reception hall greets guests in true style, resplendent in oak including doors,

skirts and windows. A French window opens to the rear garden and an elegant sweeping

staircase gracefully ascends to the first floor. With deep low rise steps, a sinuously curving

banister, bespoke stained glass windows and a full height ceiling from which to hang a

chandelier. There is an ample two piece cloakroom and twin door access to the sensational

music room. A design inspired space with acoustic pine panelling and Japanese oak flooring.

The structural timber work is fashioned from polished mahogany and resembles aeroplane

propellers. There is a natural stone wall and fireplace with a log burner for when the weather

cools. You will also see "school type" radiators on the walls and heat vents along the floor

against the single glazed picture windows. The vaulted ceiling accentuates the feeling of space

and a French window opens to the patio. What a splendid room to socialise in. The lounge/

dining room has oak French windows allowing easy access onto the patio and an open grate

fire. French windows also feature in the study, affording a delightful view of Pendle Hill beyond

Chatburn. The kitchen diner provides a less formal option for mealtimes and the Aga provides

warmth and character in abundance. The attractive fitted units have granite counters, a Franke

under-counter stainless steel sink with swan necked mixer tap and a fluted drainer. There is a

Bosch electric oven and ceramic hob and extractor over and an integrated dishwasher. A

separate utility and vestibule also.

The first floor master bedroom faces Pendle and has bespoke built-in furniture in limed oak

which continues into the dressing room and en-suite bathroom which consists of a Jacuzzi bath

with shower over, twin washbasins in a vanity unit and a low suite wc. Towels warm on a

radiator fed from the Aga. The other first floor double bedroom also has fitted furniture in limed

oak and a two piece en-suite consisting of a pedestal washbasin and low suite wc. There are

three further bedrooms on the second floor and a five piece house bathroom consisting of

panelled bath, shower cubicle, twin washbasins and a low suite wc.

The south facing gardens make the most of a sunny day. Laid mainly to lush green lawn, they

feature a stunning array of beautiful roses and are kept secure and private behind mature

established boundary shrubs and hedging; the views to Pendle Hill are absolutely stunning. A

tall flag pole stands proudly within the lawn; a brass weather vane on top. Wisteria climbs

rampantly over the courtyard wall and a fragrant honeysuckle adds perfume to the patio

seating area. Alfresco meals can be enjoyed on the substantial stone patio, imagine breakfast

watching the sun rise over Pendle Hill. There is a shared courtyard with the adjoining property

(Frensham) giving access to the side door and rear gardens. To the other side of the property

there is garaging for four cars (electric up-and-over doors), a garden store, boiler room and a

separate wc and washbasin, amounting to approximately 1,000 sq ft.

A very fine home indeed.
