A wonderful opportunity to acquire a truly individual detached property situated in a highly desirable residential location, a magnificent position on the rural fringe with stunning panoramic views over ‘Boulsworth Hill’ and ‘Pendle Hill’ and adjoining open fields and countryside. Located on an elevated plot just on the outskirts of Blacko village and only a short drive from Barrowford village and its array of amenities, the property is also superbly convenient for the excellent local transport networks close by. Cross Gaits Cottage dates back to 1860 when it was originally built as a small stable with living quarters above, but in more recent years has undergone three further extensions and conversions by the most recent owner and now provides very deceptive and flexible family sized accommodation which offers brilliant scope and potential to enhance further in areas. The original cottage and first two extensions offer a generous lounge with impressive open stone fireplace, hallway and a cloakroom, currently it has three double bedrooms with an en-suite bathroom and ‘Jack and Jill’ shower room, a sizeable dining kitchen with patio doors to the garden and further separate dining room. To the rear is an incredible single storey extension which currently houses various separate living areas with delightful open outlooks and views through substantial floor to ceiling glazed windows, formerly a swimming pool, this area was the latest third conversion and creates such an amazing light and airy space presenting a variety of uses. Beyond the pool room is an additional modern kitchen, further three piece shower room and large garden room.

Externally Cross Gaits Cottage is located on an individual extensive plot accessed with a front drive, leading to an integral double garage and surrounding mature lawned gardens with stone paths and patios, pond and extremely well-stocked and maintained side and south facing rear gardens. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate all that this property has to offer.
