2 bed terraced house for sale

Holcombe Road, Helmshore, Rossendale, Lancashire BB4

Garden fronted, stone built victorian terraced residence, enjoying many character features and the benefit of two separate, lower floor fitted kitchen areas. Deceptively arranged over three distinctive levels, the two bedroom accommodation is complemented by panoramic views across the rear.

Commanding a very desirable location, fronting the B6235, close to the centre of Helmshore Village, the house is within strolling distance of open countryside yet ideally placed for commuting access to the surrounding business centres and A56(M) by-pass link to the motorways (M66 for M60 South & M65 for M6 North).

Retaining many period details including deep coved ceilings, high skirtings and cast iron fire places, your discovery begins in the formal reception hall with a contemporary 'Karndean' herringbone pattern floor. The front sitting room benefits from a stripped wood fire surround and inset tiled grate housing a living flame gas fire. The larger, separate family living/dining room is rear facing with a superb bay window enjoying elevated, far reaching views. An inner landing and stone staircase then guides you to the lower floor.

On the lower ground floor there is an interesting blend of two kitchen areas. The main, fitted rear kitchen is designed for dining and entertaining with a range of integral appliances, 'Belfast' sink and an excellent solid fuel 'Aga' finished in cream. The second kitchen named 'The Galley' has an extensive range of modern gloss white fitted units and benefits from a five ring stainless steel gas range cooker, hood and 'LG' American Style fridge & freezer.

Reaching the first floor from the reception hall, you are greeted onto a wide landing by the original, shaped polished wood handrail. The main double bedroom is located at the front with a black, cast iron grate fire surround and decorative tiled hearth. The second, long rear double bedroom has a stripped tongue & groove floor with matching full height storage cupboards. A large four piece bath/shower room completes the accommodation with a white suite, tiled shower enclosure with a plumbed-in shower and original, black cast iron fireplace inclusive of a decorative tiled hearth.
