A SELF-SUFFICIENT FULLY UPGRADED DETACHED FAMILY HOME WITH 3.5 ACRES OF AGRICULTURAL LAND

An extraordinary fusion of luxury, sustainability and rural living, this one-of-a-kind stone-built detached residence occupies an impressive corner plot within the picturesque semi-rural village of Cowpe, Rossendale. Meticulously enhanced with no detail overlooked, this exceptional home offers an enviable opportunity to embrace a truly self-sufficient and energy-independent lifestyle without compromising on luxury.
At the heart of the property is an advanced renewable energy system incorporating 45 solar panels and 12 batteries, complemented by approximately 3.5 acres of agricultural land currently accommodating up to 1,000 growing trees. A thoughtfully designed, self-sustaining smallholding further enhances the grounds, featuring productive vegetable gardens, established apple orchards, chicken enclosures and an automated irrigation system.
Beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens provide an idyllic setting for outdoor living, alongside a superb fully equipped summer house with integrated sauna, benefiting from its own power and water supply. A separate former stable has also been skilfully converted into an impressive self-contained annexe, complete with independent water and solar-powered energy supply – ideal for guests, extended family or versatile ancillary accommodation.
Internally, substantial rear and side extensions have created an abundance of sophisticated living space. Five generously proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms are complemented by an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, an additional reception room, spacious utility and double garage.
Rarely does a home combine this level of craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability. Offering remarkable space both inside and out, this truly unique residence presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy luxurious countryside living with sustainability at its core.
