4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Waddington Road, Clitheroe BB7

A truly exceptional stone-built semi-detached period residence, meticulously refurbished throughout 2025 and 2026 to an outstanding standard. Combining elegant original features with contemporary comforts, modern insulation and stylish finishes, this magnificent home offers the character and charm of a period property with the efficiency and practicality expected from modern living.

Occupying a generous plot in a highly convenient central location, the property retains a wealth of original features including decorative cornicing, feature fireplaces and a stunning staircase, all thoughtfully complemented by high-quality contemporary upgrades throughout.

The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, featuring panelled walls and a striking staircase leading to the first floor. Two elegant reception rooms provide versatile living accommodation. The impressive drawing room showcases original cornicing and a feature stone fireplace, while the sitting room benefits from a beautiful marble fireplace and flows seamlessly into the heart of the home. The superb dining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a bespoke range of solid wood shaker-style units, quartz work surfaces and a range cooker. With underfloor heating and ample space for a large dining table, this is an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A practical utility area is positioned just off the kitchen.

A substantial rear extension further enhances the accommodation and includes a spacious boot room, contemporary shower room and an additional double bedroom, offering flexibility for use as guest accommodation, a home office, gym or hobby room.

To the first floor, a beautiful split-level landing with original spindles and balustrades leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms with one en-suite shower room. A stylish three-piece house bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a shower over the bath.

Externally, the property enjoys excellent outdoor space. To the front is a private driveway providing off-road parking, together with lawned gardens and a pathway leading to the rear. The enclosed rear garden is of an excellent size and incorporates a substantial stone-flagged patio, extensive lawned areas, planted borders, three useful storage buildings and an external WC.

The extensive refurbishment programme undertaken during 2025 and 2026 has transformed the property while preserving its historic character. Improvements include sandblasting and repointing of the stonework, a new roof and external insulation to the extension, internal insulation to all external walls, a completely new heating system with Heritage-style radiators, underfloor heating to the kitchen and extension, replacement PVC sash-style windows, new internal joinery and a full electrical rewire.

Remarkably for a property approaching 150 years of age, the home achieves an impressive EPC rating of C, demonstrating the success of the comprehensive energy-efficiency improvements. Adding solar panels or ground source heat pump would elevate the EPC to a "B" comparable to New Build properties.

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home that seamlessly combines timeless character with modern comfort and efficiency.
