Property Summary

Location

The property enjoys a prominent roadside position to the south of Keighley Road (A6068) on the edge of the small village of Laneshawbridge. The village offers limited amenities with a highly regarded primary school and two inns, the Emmott Arms and The Alma Inn. The larger town of Colne is just 2.5 miles to the west offering a more comprehensive range of services including shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities together with good access links by rail and road, with the M65 motorway providing excellent connectivity.

Description

The property comprises a substantial semi detached traditional stone building incorporating a large middle farmhouse and an adjoining end cottage with a basement cellar extending beneath both. The farmhouse and cottage now require complete refurbishment throughout. In addition, there is an adjacent parcel of land benefiting from full planning permission for the construction of two detached four bedroom dwellings.
