A home in Bacup is on the market and there is a lot of history hidden in the walls.

Broadclough Hall, on Burnley Road, is described as a “superbly impressive” home with plenty of character.

The grade II listed building has a date stone with the date 1666 engraved on it.

You enter the grounds of the property through wrought iron electric gates and travel down the curving driveway.

Inside, the property is said to be an ideal blend of modern amenities and authentic historical features.

Great care has been taken to refurbish the kitchen and bathrooms to bring “comfort and convenience” to a modern buyer. The kitchen has a white and gold aesthetic with its own pantry.

A galleried landing leads off to five bedrooms, with en-suite facilities. The fifth bedroom could be used as an office space.

If this was not enough, there is a games room on the first floor. This area is believed to be one of the oldest parts of the building, dating back to the 17th century.

There is also a basement in the property, with four cellar rooms. This space is ideal for storage or another possible adventurous use.

A highlight of the property are the “outstanding grounds”, that consist of three acres of woods and well-kept gardens.

The description says:  “[The property] is set amongst magnificent mature trees and shrubs.

“To the side too, is a further area of well-kept gardens which in all, amount to approximately just over three acres in total and encompass the property within.

According to the property’s description, it has “retained character features abound and truly evoke the spirit of strength and fortitude of history past, while also demonstrating and showcasing superb craftsmanship”.

A spokesperson for Fine & Country said: “Broadclough Hall is a fabulous five-bedroom property, offering a unique combination of setting and scale.

“Generously proportioned accommodation has superb retained character features, with its architectural merits clearly recognised in its Grade II Listing.

“Brought to the market with excellent presentation both inside and out, this is a home which absolutely must be viewed in order to be fully appreciated and which is offered for sale with no chain delay.”

Broadclough Hall is being marketed by Fine & Country for an asking price of £1,500,000.
