34 Lodge Mill Lane, Ramsbottom Guide Price: Sold STC £375,000

With far reaching rural views over the fields and fells, Lodge Mill Lane offers an escape to the countryside, with all the amenities of the thriving town of Ramsbottom at your fingertips.

Restful rural setting
Park up outside and open the pretty lavender gate to the front garden, where a path and steps lead you to the stained-glass front door.

Inside, a porch provides space in which to doff and don coats and boots, before opening the part-glazed internal door onto the tiled floor of the entrance hall.

Warm welcome
Opening up to the left is the living room, a bright and spacious room where two wide windows frame uplifting vistas out over the countryside and Holcombe Hill. Warm and welcoming, a gas stove is inset within the exposed brick chimney breast, whilst ornate cornicing skims the ceiling above for a characterful feel. Note the pretty stained-glass porthole window, ornate coving and handy understairs storage.

Feast Your Eyes
Returning to the entrance hall, next to the stairs step through to the dining room, awash with light courtesy of the large bi-folding doors opening to the patio overlooking the rear garden and fellside beyond. Wine, dine and entertain with ease in this spacious room, enjoying the easy access outdoors for alfresco dining in the summertime.

Conveniently situated next door to the dining room is the kitchen, where a bow window draws in an abundance of daylight. Ample storage can be found in the units and drawers with space for an American-style freestanding fridge-freezer, alongside an integrated oven and grill and gas hob.

Bedtime beckons
Returning to the entrance hall, take the carpeted stairs up to the landing, turning left into the main bedroom. Light, bright and soothing, carpet extends underfoot with sage green detailed cornicing above. Wake up to impressive and ever-changing views out over the fells and Holcombe Hill. Another stained-glass porthole window adds artistic interest with a built-in wardrobe, fully shelved, to help with clothes storage.

Across from the main bedroom, discover a second bedroom, bright and cosily carpeted underfoot; a spacious double overlooking the garden and distant hills.

Back on the landing, take two steps up to arrive at a large bedroom, currently used as a second sitting room and music room. Carpeted and warmed by a log-burning stove, this inviting room affords fantastic views out over Holcombe Hill through a large window to the front. Ornate cornicing, painted in a pretty, plum tone, frames the ceiling.

Soak & sleep
Turning left out of this room, arrive at the large family bathroom, tiled to the walls and containing a freestanding bath and separate shower, alongside a wash basin. Next door there is a separate WC, with blue panelling to the lower walls.

Finally, ascend a second set of grey carpeted stairs to the top floor, turning left to arrive at a large double bedroom with ample eaves storage. Light flows in through large Velux windows above, with an exposed original beam adding character.

Across the light filled landing another spacious bedroom overlooks the rear garden with additional Velux windows above.

Garden escapes
Fell views await from both the front and rear gardens at No. 34, Lodge Mill Lane. To the front, Holcombe Hill rises up in the distance across the fields. Pull up a seat on the front patio and enjoy the view from this pretty front garden, planted with a selection of colourful shrubs.

To the rear, this low maintenance garden also affords fantastic rural views, with ample scope for your own personalisation.

Out and about
Nestled on the fringe of Edenfield and Ramsbottom, enjoy the very best of country living, with all the convenience of the town on your doorstep.

Head outdoors and enjoy walks up Fecit Hill, Knowl Hill or to the nearby Edenfield Waterfall or Fletcher Bank Quarry. There is plenty to see and do nearby. Nuttall Park is only a stone’s throw away with its spacious field, playground and wooded trails.

For alternative leisure pursuits, Holt’s Equestrian Centre is close by alongside The Swim School, whilst a local cricket club can be found in nearby Edenfield, with Rossendale Golf Club only a little over five minutes’ drive away.

Dine out at The Fisherman’s Retreat or head to The Duckworth Arms for a thirst-quencher, both only a five-minute drive away.
