Located on Chapel Hill Farm, this semi-rural property is surrounded by rolling countryside but remains in walking distance to the town centre in Rawtenstall.

The six-bedroom house has a contemporary style but retains some traditional character too, with walls made of local stone and a large, sloping garden that retains a natural look.

Inside there are five bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, an open-plan kitchen/family room, a cinema room, and even a separate spa room with hot tub and sauna.

Additionally,  there is a one-bedroom annex which has recently been rented out of Airbnb with high demand for bookings – perhaps a chance to make some money back on the £1.25m price tag.
