1 Hill Crest, Barnoldswick

2 Hill Crest, Barnoldswick A distinctive and superbly appointed period property dating back to the 1903 and retaining many of the original features. Having undergone a complete renovation and refurbishment by the current owners, with no expense spared, we are delighted to offer what surely must be one of the most prestigious homes in the area. Set in an elevated position, overlooking the market town of Barnoldswick on the Yorkshire/Lancashire border, and with stunning long distance views towards the Three Peaks. Having spent a lot of time and backbreaking hours on both the inside and the outside of this detached villa, the owners are ready to downsize and move closer to family. Offering in brief:- a superb dining kitchen with pantry off, a splendid reception room, four double bedrooms including a master, and a house bathroom. Outside there are delightful, well maintained gardens to the front and the rear, together with off street parking to the side of the house for five or six vehicles. From Barnoldswick town centre, head out on Manchester Road up the hill. Just as the road levels out at the top (approximately 3/4 mile) the property can be seen on the left hand side. The best approach to the driveway is to continue past and turn round at the next junction, heading back the way you have just come, and turning off right up the driveway.
