Property description

South Lodge, Bacup Road, Rawtenstall is a stunning example of an exquisite, craftsmen built property. Grade II Listed and dating back to approximately 1865, this superb example of quality construction showcases the very best of Victorian Gothic style architecture. Finely detailed stonework of exceptional quality matches the historical provenance of the building, having its origins as the gate lodge to the now demolished Staghills House, originally constructed as the estate of wealthy mill owner Richard Ashworth of Cowpe. Now offered to the market as a fantastic family home with accommodation laid out over 3 floors, the property boasts an absolute wealth of architectural features both inside and out, with a level of detail simply not even considered in modern construction. Quite superb chimney stacks, entrance ways and feature stone carvings are just some of the incredibly ornate elements of this unique property, together with an utterly beautiful Gallery Landing with outstanding joinery features.

Unexpectedly offering a wealth of living accommodation, first impressions of this property are often deceptive, with interiors offering numerous spaces which are well suited to contemporary lifestyles. Exterior areas are equally exciting, offering decked and lawned spaces which are well designed, to allow maximum external appreciation of both the property itself as well as its surroundings. Internally, the property briefly comprises: Entrance Hall, Main Lounge, Mater Bedroom, Inner Hall, Bedroom 2, Family Bathroom, Lower Ground Floor housing Hallway, Snug / 2nd Lounge, Dining Kitchen, Bar / 3rd Lounge, Utility Room, first floor Gallery Landing off to Bedrooms 3 & 4 and Shower Room. Externally, the gated Driveway provides off road parking, the Deck and lower Lawned Garden off superb outdoor entertaining space, while the Summer House and Front Patio round off a versatile suite of outdoor areas.

The property is situated on Bacup Road within easy reach of all amenities within Rawtenstall, as well as superb motorway connections to all regional destinations and excellent public transport connections, to both Manchester and Burnley. Sports and leisure facilities are accessible and open countryside within just minutes. Marl Pits offers gym and swimming facilities, as well as walks and sports clubs, within a couple of minutes travel and a variety of pubs are also within walking distance. Offering a unique and rare opportunity to acquire such a beautiful property of visual and historic merit too, this wonderful home is truly exceptional, while its deceptive accommodation on offer demands first hand viewing to fully appreciate all that is available.
