6 bed detached house for sale

Longholme Road, Rawtenstall, Rossendale BB4

Investment opportunity. A stunning stone heritage property, in the centre of Rawtenstall, with planning permission to convert into 3 x 2 bed apartments, or with potential to continue this former auctiuon house into an exciting commercial space in the heart of the town centre, by the Bacup Road retail core, the modern bus station and close to Kay Street & Bank Street. The vendors may also consider letting.

Superbly situated in the heart of Rawtenstall's vibrant town centre, just off the M66/A56, offering excellent access to Manchester, this is a period stone mill, set over three stories, plus a loft within the pitched, slate roof space, with planning permission to convert into 3 x 2 bed apartments granted in 2024.

Previously used as an auction house, these two neighbouring properties, 11a & 13a, are now a large, single, open plan space, with two front access points- one at end, and a series of three front windows on the ground floor and five front windows and four rear windows on the first and second floors, making stunning bright, open plan floorplates, that are each 88sqm/950sqft (totaling 265sqm/ 2,850sqft).

There is a staircase at each end on the first and second floors and potential to add a second staircase on the ground floor for ease of access and flexible use, which the current owners have explored. There is a W.C. On the first floor too and a stud wall, has created a separate 'lounge' space, which could easily be removed if preferred.

This fantastic location, by a pleasant cobbled street with wide, open frontage across to the River Limy at the front and close to the confluence of the River Irwell, you are just off the main retail core at the rear of Bacup Road, with Key St, St Mary's Way and Bank St, all within a moments’ walk, as are key anchor tenants within the town including B&M, Lidl, Tesco and Asda.
