Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Barnoldswick, BB18 :

A very attractive and stunningly renovated home of considerable character, with approximately 1.464 ha (3.62 acres) of grazing land and a smart stable yard with modern range of purpose-built stables.

Mereclough Grange is a quite delightful and traditional detached stone property which has been sympathetically and painstakingly renovated using craftsman materials of the finest quality. It is now a wonderful and comfortable family home that still retains a host of character features including exposed stonework, ceiling beams, stone arched openings, deep window sills and exposed timber lintels. In addition, the property features solid oak studded doors throughout, oak flooring, ash window sills and traditional radiators (originally from Giggleswick School) which have been carefully reconditioned. This is a truly delightful and spacious home which has double glazing and central heating from an oil fired boiler providing a combination of underfloor heating and radiators.

As can be seen from the accompanying plan, Mereclough Grange also owns circa 1.464 ha (3.62 acres) of grazing land, within which is a smart stable yard featuring a purpose built stable-block which is currently used as two loose boxes, feed/tack room, hay storage and a further long stable which would make into three/four boxes. For anyone with equestrian interests, Mereclough Grange must be a property of choice, although interested parties should note that the land and stables can be excluded from a sale if so required.

Old Stone Trough Lane leads out of Kelbrook Village through lovely rural countryside and into Foulridge. This is a scarcely populated area which is well known for its calibre of traditional properties which benefit from the lovely long range views over the valley, without either being isolated or remote. Kelbrook Village is less than a mile away with Earby and Barnoldswick just a little further (2 miles), both of which have a good range of shopping, recreational and social amenities. At Kelbrook there is a primary school in the village, with a secondary school at nearby Barnoldswick. Colne is less than 5 miles away and has a wider range of amenities, also giving access to the M65 which links into the central M6 motorway network. Skipton is just under 10 miles away and has a train service linking through to Bradford, Leeds and London Kings Cross, also a road network accessing the major conurbations of West Yorkshire.
