GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This superbly located property sits proudly with panoramic views towards Weets Hill and the surrounding countryside. The property is conveniently located approximately 7 miles of the M65 motorway and close to a wealth of local amenities. The whole site extends to approximately 7 acres (2.83 ha).

THE HOUSE
Constructed in 1911 in the style of a Victorian Villa, the house has been fully refurbished by the present owners following their purchase in 2008 retaining a wealth of original features and presented with high quality finishes including hand-made oak kitchen units with granite work top; oak flooring; underfloor heating to dining/kitchen and three bathrooms. The layout is as shown on the floorplan included and comprises 2,107 sqft (195.8 sqm) over two floors with additional storage in the loft space.

OUTSIDE
Springfield sits within its generous plot behind electric wrought iron gates with amply car parking and a stone built detailed triple garage (51sqm/549 sqft) with a roof-mounted solar pv installation generating c.£2,000 pa in FIT income.

There are lawned areas to the side, front and rear and established planted borders creating a private plot, but retaining panoramic views over open countryside.

THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
Created from new by the current owners and set down from the main house, the equestrian facilities comprise a stone built block of four good sized stables with tack room (85 sqm/915 sqft) currently laid out with one stable converted to a machinery store with roller-shutter security door, together with easy access midden and, on a lower level, a 40m x 20m enclosed floodlit manège with chopped rubber surface.

THE LAND
Situated within a ring fence and divided internally with post and rail fencing, the land slopes gently away from the property to provide useful grazing for horses or livestock. Each enclosure has its own water supply. There is direct access to the public bridleway which provides significant opportunities for safe off-road riding. Access to the land can be gained past the house or via the track running from Esp Lane, giving the opportunity for it to be occupied separately.

SERVICES
The property has mains electricity, spring water and oil fired central heating together with its own septic tank. The water is a plentiful supply that is pumped to tanks in the loft where the UV filters are located. The stable block has mains electricity connected. The stable and fields have troughs connected to the spring supply. There is EE Broadband & WIFI to the property.

COUNCIL TAX
The house is currently in Council Tax Band G. The annual payment for 2024/2025 for a Band G property within the Pendle Borough Council authority is £4,008.88.

PLANNING
There would be the potential to connect the existing stable block for alternative uses under general permitted development rights, subject to prior notification procedures. Potential uses would include residential, holiday lots or business premises. Purchasers must make their own enquiries in that regard.

TENURE
The property is freehold & vacant possession will be given on completion.
