A large barn conversion in the centre of an AONB in complete privacy in it's own grounds of 3 acres approx 1 mile down a beautiful quiet lane with stunning views in every direction
Description
Standing in one of the finest locations in Lancashire, constructed of local stone under a grey stone slate roof, Black Moss Barn was converted from a 200-year-old agricultural building by the present owners in 1991.
Approximately 1 mile from the main road along a quiet and beautiful lane, the 3-acre property offers superb views in every direction. Those across the reservoir towards Pendle Hill are outstanding. The grounds feature areas of lawn with flower beds and shrubbery, along with broadleaf woodland and rough pasture. A moorland stream runs through a wooded gully where ferns and wild flowers grow.
Set well back from the lane in complete privacy, the house is approached by a long tarmac driveway which widens out to form a large forecourt with hard standing for six to eight cars.
While the Forest of Pendle is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Black Moss Barn is less than 3 miles from the M65. Central Manchester and the airport are 45 minutes away.
There is a fine school in Blacko and excellent restaurants in nearby Barley, Downham and Barrowford. Leisure and sport facilities can be found 15 minutes away at Crow Wood and in Clitheroe. Barrowford is a boutique shopping area with a newly opened Booths supermarket.
All windows are hardwood and double-glazed with the exception of the Velux rooflights. The scope and position of the property offers the potential for such energy saving schemes as photovoltaic solar panels, a wind turbine, and ground sourced heat pumps.
