South Shore Street Guide Price: Sold STC £135,000

Enveloped in countryside, with rolling greenery on the doorstep, discover South Shore Street, on the cusp of the pretty Lancashire town of Haslingden.

Country views

Park up outside, easily distinguished by its elegant, whitewashed façade with contrasting black windowsills and stonework.

A stone path leads to the front door, passed a slate chipping front garden, neat and low maintenance.

Welcome home

Make your way in through the front porch, before continuing into the light and bright living room. Grained wood-effect flooring extends underfoot, with fresh white walls, both practical and elegant. Light flows in through a large leaded window to the front with a cream-coloured fireplace. With plenty of space for sofas, side tables and a television, this room features views out over the fields to the front.

Wine and dine

Make your way through past the stairs and into the kitchen to the rear, where the same flooring flows through for a seamless feel. White walls and white metro tiles, combined with light grey cabinets and mushroom surfaces for a crisp, clean feel. There is plenty of space for a dining table. Ample storage for all your culinary utensils and essentials is available in the cabinetry. With space for an oven, there is also a washing machine and additional storage in the cupboard beneath the stairs.

Rest and refresh

Returning to the staircase, ascend to the first floor, where to the front there is the master bedroom. Light, bright and bountiful, this spacious bedroom is carpeted in silvery grey, with crisp white walls. Pause in the leaded window and admire the leafy views to the front.

Nestled to the rear of the home, is the second bedroom, also carpeted in silver-grey and with a contemporary window looking out over the rear courtyard.

Serving both bedrooms is a stylish bathroom, tiled in modern grey tones to the walls and furnished with a large bath with overhead shower, vanity unit wash basin and WC. A large linen cupboard provides plenty of storage.

Low maintenance leisure

Outside, a low maintenance courtyard garden is a sunny and secure space. A raised stone bed is handy for growing flowers and vegetables. A blank canvas, you can create your own sunny sanctuary here. To the rear is a large outbuilding ideal for storage or perhaps conversion into an outdoor office.

On your doorstep

Famed for its illustrious history as a quarrying town, Haslingden Flagstone was once transported throughout the country during the 19th century, and even features in Trafalgar Square, London. Learn more about Haslingden’s industrial history at the award-winning Helmshore Textile Museum close by.

In the town centre, there is plenty to see and do, with a range of independent shops selling local artisanal produce alongside supermarkets such as Tesco and Co-op. Pay a visit to the local butchers and enjoy a bite to eat in one of the many cafes and restaurants including Italian eatery Siena Restaurant and fine dining Restaurant Metamorphica.

Families are well placed with a choice of local schools including Haslingden Primary School and St James’ Church of England Primary School and Nursery, only an eight-minute walk away. For older children, both Haslingden High School and All Saints Roman Catholic Language College are only a seven-minute drive from the door.

Enjoy leisure time at St Mary’s Community Sports Club (right across the road) Victoria Park, Haslingden Cricket Club, Rossendale Golf Course and Ski Rossendale.

Surrounded by countryside, walks abound on your doorstep, whilst for commuters, the A56 is close by with its links into Manchester, Burnley and Clitheroe. Blackburn is also around a 20-minute drive away.

Turnkey ready and ready for your personalising touch, South Shore Street is a warm and welcoming home where countryside charm meets city convenience.
