CHARMING SLAIDBURN COUNTRY COTTAGE FOR SALE

A character-filled house in the heart of the village of Slaidburn, is on the market for the first time in 37 years and offers a rare chance to acquire an appealing home within a highly regarded village and the picturesque Hodder Valley. 

Dacre, Son & Hartley is marketing the spacious and well-presented three-bedroom home for sale for £320,000, and Settle-based estate agent, Tom Galloway believes its generously sized garden and central location are great selling points. 

Tom said: “8 Church Street is a lovely character cottage with three bedrooms, a spacious living room, separate dining room, sunroom, kitchen and utility. With traditional features including a cobbled footpath with time-worn stone steps and feature fireplaces, the home has plenty of appeal. Its location in the heart of the popular village of Slaidburn makes for easy access to the post office and local shop, pub, tearoom, primary school, village hall, church and the health centre.

“The garden is another big selling point. From the superb sunroom you can access the rear lawned garden. With lovely flower borders it offers a delightful patio area to sit and relax, overlooking open fields beyond. With ample unrestricted street parking close by, and an olde world feel, thanks in part to the fact that many village properties are still estate owned, it’s a delightful location.” 

Slaidburn, which is situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), has recently been awarded the coveted ‘dark sky discovery’ status, due to being able observe the spectacle of the Milky Way and the constellations, such as Orion, with the naked eye, thanks to lack of light pollution and easy accessibility. 

Tom added: “It’s a beautiful village, set on the banks of the Hodder in the moorland region of the Forest of Bowland AONB which attracts a range of buyers keen to live rurally but with access to wider Lancashire from Clitheroe and beyond.”
