Whalley Road, Ramsbottom

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.
