1 bed terraced house for sale

Waterbarn Lane, Bacup, Rossendale OL13

This one-bedroom terraced property presents an excellent opportunity for investors and developers, offered with the advantage of no onward chain.

Boasting substantial potential to create value, the home has been largely stripped back to its brickwork with flooring removed throughout, providing a blank canvas for refurbishment. Recently installed anthracite grey double-glazed windows enhance the property's contemporary appeal while ensuring improved insulation.

An attic room, complete with a skylight and power supply, offers further scope for development, although it currently lacks a staircase.

* Please note: The adjacent property has been refurbished to a high standard and achieved a sale price of £155,000.

Situated close to open countryside and local amenities, this home combines rural charm with everyday convenience.

The area

Stacksteads is a quaint, historic village within the town of Bacup, nestled in the picturesque Rossendale Valley, Lancashire. Surrounded by rolling hills and moorland, it boasts a rich industrial heritage rooted in 19th and early 20th-century textile manufacturing and coal mining. The area features characterful traditional stone terraced housing and fosters a strong community spirit.

The River Irwell meanders through Stacksteads, lending a tranquil, rural atmosphere while reflecting the area's industrious past. Today, Stacksteads retains its village ambiance yet benefits from convenient proximity to larger centres such as Rawtenstall and Burnley. Local amenities include primary schools, Moorlands Park, and a variety of community groups dedicated to preserving the village's unique identity.

Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to nearby mountain bike trails at Lee Quarry and Cragg Quarry, while community initiatives, notably by the Stacksteads Countryside Park Group (scpg), continue to enhance local green spaces and community facilities. Despite the challenges commonly faced by post-industrial areas, Stacksteads remains a resilient and welcoming community.
