Description

A home framed by open countryside and breathtaking vistas, discover spacious living within and without the classic Accrington red brick walls of Hillcrest.

Beyond the gated entrance, plenty of parking can be found along the block paved driveway and within the separate double garage. Enveloped in gardens to all sides, Hillcrest sits in its own calming cocoon of greenery.

Step inside, entering via the front door whose stained-glass surround spills light through into the grand hallway, where high ceilings, statement chandelier lighting and intricate wall panelling and beading hint at its period heritage.

Taking centre stage, light spills down the impressive staircase from the grandly arched, stained-glass window on the half landing, creating a warm and elegant first impression.

To the right of the hallway, step through into the cosy snug, perfect for relaxing, with lead-paned windows inviting light through and patio doors opening out to the garden. Heritage features recur throughout the home, highlighted in the traditional kitchen-hatch, high ceilings and elevated windows.

Wine and dine in the large formal dining room to the left of the hallway, perfect for entertaining. Candlelight suppers beneath the lavish ceiling rose, with the ambience enhanced by the feature fireplace beckon, whilst the stained-glass bay window frames the outdoors, for a true sense of occasion. Easily accommodating an eight-seater table, this room is made for celebratory events and festive feasting.

In the evenings retire in comfort to the spacious lounge where period features infuse character and luxury. Framed within its ornate surround, the fireplace emanates warmth and welcome, whilst another large bay window, again complete with stained-glass panels, a recurring motif in this characterful home, offers a sense of ecclesiastical beauty.

At the end of the hallway, freshen up in the handy WC, with cloaks and understairs storage providing ample space for coats and shoes.

Continue through into the kitchen, well stocked with all the essentials needed to entertain. Within the sociable island, discover a gas hob, while a wealth of neutral-toned cabinetry, integrated appliances, inset grill and Neff oven make mealtimes a breeze.

Flowing out effortlessly into a bright conservatory, enjoy casual breakfasts or relaxed suppers whilst admiring the glorious garden views.

Classic design adds contemporary convenience, with a pantry and separate utility room offering excellent storage and laundry facilities on the other side of the kitchen, with a door from the utility providing easy access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, sleep beckons in the four sumptuously sized bedrooms to be found on the first floor.

Ideal for children and guests, to the left of the landing discover two generously sized bedrooms, the first featuring fitted furniture in neutral tones, ideal for when family and friends come to stay.

Immediately to the right of the stairs, sleep soundly in the third spacious double bedroom, whose large windows and high ceilings showcase the light, airy feel that is a highlight of life at Hillcrest.

Sanctuary awaits to the front of the house, in the peaceful and spacious principal suite. From floral prints to fitted wardrobes offering ample storage, this room is the epitome of comfort. Beyond an archway refresh and revive in the shower room ensuite, replete with walk-in shower, the perfect place to wash away the cares of the day and set the relaxing tone of the evening.

Gardens envelop Hillcrest, providing distinct areas to discover, explore and unwind in. Formal, private and structured, the garden to the front meets with lawn flowing to the side, whilst a red brick arch provides a tantalising preview of the private seating area, ideal for alfresco dining, flanked by mature foliage bursting in colour and fragrance.

Meander through the different pockets of privacy this garden offers with each turn revealing something new, culminating in a hidden summerhouse, the perfect space to enjoy a moment of peace anytime of the year. An additional outbuilding is handy for storage.

Out & About
Nestled between scenic countryside and thriving village life, Hillcrest enjoys a coveted position on the outskirts of Ramsbottom-just minutes from the heart of Edenfield, and only ten minutes from Bury town centre.

Spend your weekends exploring the endless walking routes right from your doorstep, with footpaths leading in every direction. Stroll across the fields to Dearden Wood Campsite where woodfired pizza is served beneath the trees every Friday and Saturday evening-bring a blanket and dine under the stars.

When it's time for a refreshment, the Duckworth Arms is a short walk away, while the acclaimed Eagle & Child gastropub is under five minutes by car. Edenfield offers its own charm with local favourites like The Drop Off Café and The Coach @ Edenfield, ideal for a cosy brunch or casual dinner.

Ramsbottom's lively centre is just down the road and packed with boutique shops, artisan bakeries, and independent eateries. Sample the town's celebrated coffee scene, treat yourself in the stylish homeware stores, or enjoy a night out at Theatre Royal. For more mainstream entertainment, Vue Cinema in Bury is within easy reach.

Everyday convenience is taken care of with Tesco, Morrisons, and Aldi supermarkets in Ramsbottom, alongside local gems such as Stubbins Chippy and Paul's Corner Shop. Animal lovers can make regular visits to the beloved Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary, a fantastic family day out.

Families are well positioned, with Stubbins Primary School and Woodhey High School nearby, while Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School is also within easy reach for those seeking a selective education.

Commuters will appreciate excellent connections. Catch the X41 express bus to Manchester from Stubbins or hop on the 481 or 483 services for direct links to Bury, Rawtenstall, and Burnley. Whether you're heading into the city or enjoying village life, everything is within effortless reach.

Perfectly placed for both countryside escapes and everyday ease, Hillcrest offers a lifestyle of balance-where boutique shopping, weekend walks, and superb schooling come together in one of Ramsbottom's most desirable settings.

With its elegant, period proportions, spacious rooms and country views, Hillcrest is a home for all seasons, with room for all the family to gather, relax and unwind.
