A Home with History


Nestled in a historic Victorian mill village born from Lancashire’s industrial past, Stone House is a charming and characterful Victorian residence dating back to the early 20th century.

Originally Georgian, the Victorian version you see today belonged to the owners of Hazel Mill, founded in 1861, before it was divided into two semi-detached homes in the 1980s. In fact, you can still see the entwined initials of Harry and Marion Worsley in the plasterwork as you enter the house, which is also mentioned on the information board in nearby Worsley Park.

Old Meets New

In keeping with the property’s somewhat illustrious past, this wonderful family home blends a wealth of character details with an opulent design scheme that highlights its majestic proportions.

However, the current owners have also added plenty of modern upgrades. Outside, this involved sand-blasting and stone-washing the exterior walls, creating a new block-paved driveway with secure electric gates, and installing a new garage door.

There’s also a landscaped front garden with new decking and seating areas and a glazed summerhouse to enjoy, and planning permission to turn the outhouse above the garage into a studio, gym, office or games room. Additionally, the interior benefits from a new top-floor bathroom, fitted bedroom wardrobes, and a new central breakfast island in the kitchen.

A Grand Arrival

As you pull into the sweeping driveway, the property’s resplendent double-fronted exterior will immediately capture your attention. Set upon a raised stone terrace, it features full-height bow windows and an impressive collonaded stone porch with ornate foliage capitals. A wooden panelled front door, complete with decorative glazing, completes this dramatic entrance.

A Victorian Welcome

Stone House’s spectacular hallway epitomises the Victorian’s panache for welcoming guests in style. This huge L-shaped reception area boasts a high ceiling with detailed panelling and elegant coving to match the architraves and tall skirting boards. Meanwhile, wooden picture rails complement the rich tones of the wooden floor and the balustrade to the staircase straight ahead.

Tasteful wallpaper also chimes with the runner carpet, which leads upstairs to a jaw-dropping galleried landing where the panelled ceiling reaches impressive heights. Beside the staircase, you’ll find an oversized two-piece downstairs cloakroom with a traditional high-level toilet and a gorgeous wooden vanity with a modern countertop basin and waterfall tap.

Wine, Dine, and Unwind

Two large reception rooms on either side of the hallway keep up the luxury theme. The dual-aspect lounge and dining room is brightened by a lovely bow window and a bay to the side. This generously sized reception offers delightful period details, such as intricate coving and a statement fireplace. Gold-hued detailing on the walls reflects the warmth from the varnished wooden floor underfoot, creating a sumptuous backdrop for dining and entertaining.

Across the hall in the sitting room, the bow window illuminates a focal point Victorian fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround. Above, the high wooden mantlepiece draws the eye to the cream-coloured picture rail, coving, and decorative ceiling plasterwork.

Behind the sitting room, you’ll discover a traditional-style dual-aspect rear kitchen. Here, another beautifully detailed ceiling overlooks a range of white cabinetry with wooden worktops and a new in-keeping breakfast island. Underfoot, low-maintenance laminate flooring combines with neutral paintwork for a fresh, airy feel cemented by the tall windows bathing the dining area in natural light.

Meanwhile, a cheerful green-and-white tiled splashback surrounds a deep Astracast ceramic sink and an integrated Lofra oven with a gas hob and extractor fan. There’s also a second integrated oven and microwave, plus space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. You’ll also find an adjacent utility that houses a washer and dryer and provides access to the rear.

In addition, stairs from the utility descend to the basement level, which contains two extensive cellars and a smaller storage room. Rumour has it that this space was formerly a butcher’s preparation room, but regardless, it’s definitely an amazing place to stash your wine collection or set up a workshop! There’s also further scope for development here, subject to planning.

Retreat Upstairs

The stunning galleried landing on the first floor leads to two rear carpeted bedrooms that enjoy fabulously generous period proportions, character ceiling details, and feature fireplaces. One contains a wall of fitted wardrobes and a bay window, while the other is currently being used as a vast study/library featuring big windows with stained-glass upper panes.

The primary bedroom lies on the upper landing and overlooks the garden via a bow window. The soft cream carpet seemingly melts into a trio of fitted wardrobes and a window seat with storage, while chandelier pendants hang from the roses on the high, coved ceiling. A fireplace set in a Victorian surround adds further warmth to this luxurious master.

These bedrooms share a stunning, part-tiled family bathroom, where a deep ceramic double-ended bathtub sits beside a large frosted window and a chrome heated towel rail. There’s also a separate shower enclosure, a pretty vanity unity with a countertop basin, waterfall tap and back-lit mirror above, a stylish close-coupled loo, and a cast-iron radiator with towel rail.

Continue along to the second staircase, where you’ll find loads more storage and another bedroom just off to the side illuminated by a bow window. Featuring contemporary décor and fitted furniture, a walk-in wardrobe and a fully tiled modern en suite, including a walk-in rainfall shower, this fourth bedroom would make an amazing guest suite.

Top Floor Potential

A tall window shines upon the half-landing as the second carpeted wooden staircase rises to the top floor. Up here, there are two additional double bedrooms to explore, one of which is currently kitted out as a walk-in wardrobe.

This floor also benefits from a fully tilled, marble-effect, spot-lit bathroom with an L-shaped bath with a glass-screened rainfall shower above, a close-couple toilet with a handheld hygiene attachment, and a vanity basin unit with a mirrored cabinet above.

Thanks to the presence of a walk-in wardrobe and bathroom on this floor, the area could easily be transformed into a totally private master suite.

Step Outside

Stone House sits on around a third of an acre of grounds. Most of the garden extends to the front of the property, beginning on the raised stone terrace surrounding the entrance. The partly covered decking to the side and newly installed planter benches provide serene spots to sit and watch the birds visiting the mature trees dotted around the garden and its boundary.

Steps guarded by stone lions and illuminated by lanterns then lead down onto the lawn, where you’ll find a gravelled area with undercover seating and a wooden shed. Follow the long pathway across the lawn to discover a second set of stone steps descending to a terrace hosting a glazed summerhouse and a pond.

Above the spacious double garage, the outhouse is ready for the new owners to decide its purpose. And if you still want more space to roam, the leafy neighbouring park offers tennis courts, a bowling green, and a children’s play area.

On Your Doorstep

Acre is a tiny Victorian mill village made up of six farm estates on the outskirts of Haslingden in Rossendale. Other than Worsley Park, the village is home to a Biological Heritage Site (Top o’th’ Bank Field), public footpaths, and the Acre heritage and boundary trails. The OS Explorer number 287, West Pennine Moors, can help guide your walks further into the countryside from the village.

Just north of Acre in Rising Bridge, you’ll find several eateries, including bakeries, a McDonald’s and Starbucks, Indian and Chinese restaurants, and a few pubs. The area also benefits from a convenience store, a post office, a petrol station, and medical and sporting facilities.

South of Acre, Haslingden is also home to a great range of amenities. Cissy Green's Bakery on Deardengate still makes pies to the original 1920s recipe, attracting foodies across the region, while beautiful views of Musbury Hill can be enjoyed from the well-equipped Victoria Park.

Schooling-wise, there’s an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ preschool just a two-minute drive away, plenty of well-regarded primaries on your doorstep, and a ‘Good’ secondary in Haslingden. Besides this, you’ll find a scattering of independent options within a 30-minute drive of Acre.

Travelling or commuting around the region is easy, too. Just ten minutes up the road in Accrington, the station runs Northern line services, including an hourly service from Accrington to Blackpool North via Preston and York on the Calder Valley line. On the East Lancashire line, Monday to Saturday daytime, there is an hourly service from Accrington to Preston and Colne.

Alternatively, hop in your car and join the nearby A56 to drive straight into the heart of Manchester within 40 minutes or join the motorway network linking the region’s popular towns and cities. And if you want to escape it all, the area is surrounded by beautiful moorland to explore.
