Water, BB4 9RB

An opportunity to purchase this large stone farmhouse cottage, with attached barn, detached outbuildings and kennels and almost 6 acres of Rossendale countryside. On the easily accessible, LCC adopted & maintained Dean Lane, just 1/2 mile off Burnley Road East, where you can find the popular Water Trough bistro, the popular Water primary school and the 483 bus route, which runs between Burnley and Bury, via Rawtenstall and connecting with the Metrolink for Manchester. On the Pennine Bridleway, with walks all around, you are just 3 miles to Waterfoot village centre and just 4 miles to the bustling Market town of Rawtenstall, from where you can easily connect to the M66 motorway for Manchester. With around 2,100sqft/200sqm of accommodation, featuring four double bedrooms and four reception rooms, plus a kitchen diner, there is also an attached, 650sqft double height stone barn, offering potential subject to any permissions (such as planning permission) for a second cottage, or a stunning large extension to the main dwelling. There are two large outbuildings, one at 700sqft/65sqm and a second 1,700 sqft/ 160sqm, which are currently used as kennel space and each with offices and storage, again offering intriguing potential. This property currently has an active license for kennels and has a large training paddock and enclosed fields amongst the acreage, offers possibilities for buyers that might wish to investigate opening a boarding kennel, cattery, doggy daycare, or perhaps even an equestrian. In addition to the land, there is a hard-standing forecourt, rear patio and gardens and an orchard, all taking in the spectacular countryside views. Viewings by appointment, please contact Ryder & Dutton to arrange, or to discuss this property further.
