Character, Land & Countryside Views

Set within just under three acres of land on the edge of Haslingden, this impressive six-bedroom semi-detached barn conversion arranged across three floors enjoys far-reaching countryside views and a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The property combines traditional character with generous proportions, offering the feel of rural living while remaining conveniently placed for nearby towns and transport links.

Original features run throughout the home, from exposed beams and stone detailing to impressive vaulted spaces that reflect the building’s agricultural heritage. Outside, landscaped terraces, open land and equestrian facilities create a setting that feels both private and expansive.

Despite its peaceful surroundings, the property remains well connected, with the A56 providing direct access to the M66 for Manchester and the M65 for Blackburn and Burnley.

Welcome Home

Approached from Roundhill Lane, the barn presents an attractive stone façade framed by iron railings and a paved front courtyard, immediately hinting at the character within. Traditional cast-iron lampposts with copper Victorian lanterns add charm and atmosphere, complementing the warm stonework and timber-framed windows.

Decorative metal gates separate the courtyard from the driveway behind, creating a clear distinction between the welcoming entrance and the more practical parking area.

Beyond the gates lies a spacious driveway providing extensive parking, leading to the triple garage with WC. The grounds extend across lawned areas, Indian stone terraces and landscaped sections leading towards the stables and fenced paddock, offering plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, family life or equestrian use.

Characterful Living Spaces

Inside, the property reveals a series of spacious and versatile living areas arranged around a central hallway.

The main lounge is particularly impressive, featuring exposed beams, Karndean flooring, stone windowsills and column radiators. At its centre sits a bespoke stone fireplace carved with a Lancashire rose, creating a striking focal point and a natural gathering place during colder months.

A second reception space enjoys a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window that frames the surrounding landscape and fills the room with natural light. With its generous proportions, it works beautifully as a formal sitting room, reading space or garden room.

The snug offers a more intimate retreat, again showcasing beams, Karndean flooring and stone detailing. Ideal for relaxed evenings, it adds another flexible living space to the ground floor.

The Heart of the Home

At the centre of the house is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The kitchen is finished in a classic country cream style with granite worktops, arranged around a traditional four-oven AGA range cooker that creates a natural focal point and reinforces the home’s farmhouse character.

A central island provides additional preparation space and informal seating, while illuminated display cabinets and generous cabinetry ensure ample storage. Above, exposed beams span the vaulted ceiling, while Velux rooflights introduce plenty of natural light. Underfoot, porcelain tiled flooring with underfloor heating keeps the space comfortable year-round, complemented by a stone feature wall with subtle floor lighting.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous dining and living area, where large glazed doors and windows frame the surrounding countryside. These open directly onto the Indian stone terrace, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living during warmer months.

Altogether, this open-plan space forms the natural hub of the home - somewhere to cook, gather and enjoy the setting throughout the day.

Space to Retreat

Ascending the solid timber staircase from the main hallway, the character of the barn continues upstairs, where spacious landings connect the bedrooms across three floors. Warm timber doors, exposed beams and views through stone-framed windows reinforce the home’s traditional character as you move through the upper levels.

In total, the property offers six well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from their own en-suite facilities, providing flexibility for family living, guests or multi-generational households. Each bedroom enjoys views across the surrounding countryside, while the rooms on the top floor feature Velux windows that bring in plenty of natural light.

The principal bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, generously sized and positioned to take in the surrounding landscape. It benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a practical and private space to unwind.

Elsewhere, the rooms remain equally versatile. One bedroom enjoys a striking arched feature window overlooking the courtyard, while the top floor reveals some of the barn’s most characterful spaces, where exposed structural beams and rooflights create distinctive rooms full of charm. A stained-glass circular window adds another unique architectural detail.

Completing the accommodation, the main family bathroom features both a corner bath and separate shower, finished with Heritage sanitaryware and distinctive tiling in keeping with the character of the home.

Land, Views & Outdoor Living

One of the most compelling aspects of 1 Larkhill Barn is the scale of the grounds. Extending to just under three acres, the property enjoys a wonderful setting surrounded by open countryside.

Immediately around the house, a generous Indian stone terrace provides an ideal space to sit and take in the views, framed by traditional stone walls and classic Victorian-style lampposts.

Beyond the terrace lies a substantial gravelled courtyard and yard area, providing extensive parking and manoeuvring space. The property also benefits from a large stone-built garage with space for multiple vehicles, which conveniently includes its own WC.

For those with equestrian interests, the property is particularly well suited. The recently completed stables, fenced paddock and surrounding land create a ready-made environment for keeping horses, while an equestrian centre just two miles away further enhances the lifestyle appeal.

The property also connects directly to the surrounding countryside, with a public footpath linking to the Rossendale Way, while a right of way along the field towards Baxenden provides further access to the local landscape.

Haslingden and Helmshore are both within easy reach, offering a range of everyday amenities including independent cafés, restaurants, gyms and local shops.

For leisure and recreation, the area offers plenty of choice. Rossendale Golf Club, Ski Rossendale and Haslingden Leisure Centre are nearby, while Victoria Park in the town centre provides green space with a playground, bowling green and sports facilities.

Just a short drive away, the market town of Rawtenstall is known for its independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
