A Home Without Compromise – An Extraordinary Country Residence hidden behind electric gates and nestled within almost 1.5 acres of exquisitely landscaped private grounds, The Hollies is one of Rossendale's most remarkable homes. Extending to in excess of 6,000 square feet of impeccably appointed accommodation, this exceptional detached residence combines timeless elegance with world-class leisure facilities, outstanding entertaining spaces and luxurious family living.

Rarely does a property of such scale, quality and versatility become available, and with no onward chain, this is a truly unique opportunity.
The approach immediately sets the tone. A sweeping driveway, framed by mature trees and established planting, leads to an impressive frontage with extensive parking for numerous vehicles. Beyond the electric gates lies a home designed to impress at every turn, balancing grand proportions with warm, welcoming interiors.

The reception hall offers an elegant introduction, flowing effortlessly into the home's magnificent living accommodation. At its heart is an exceptional handcrafted Clive Christian kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, a substantial central island and traditional Aga. Flooded with natural light from an impressive roof lantern, the adjoining dining and family area creates a stunning everyday living space, perfectly designed for modern family life and large-scale entertaining alike.

For more formal occasions, the elegant dining room provides an unforgettable setting, complete with bespoke fitted furniture, decorative panelling, feature fireplace and statement chandeliers. Beautifully styled throughout, every room has been thoughtfully designed to create an atmosphere of understated luxury.

The principal lounge is a sophisticated retreat, centred around a feature log-burning stove and opening seamlessly into the surrounding living spaces through contemporary glazed doors. A dedicated cinema lounge offers the ultimate movie experience, while the impressive games room features a fully fitted bar and bespoke wine store, creating an exceptional entertainment hub for family and guests alike.

What truly elevates The Hollies beyond almost any other residence is its spectacular private leisure complex. Designed to rival many boutique hotels, it features a magnificent heated indoor swimming pool beneath a striking illuminated ceiling, complemented by a spacious sun lounge, fully equipped gymnasium, sauna, changing facilities, shower room and dedicated plant room. Completing this remarkable wellness suite is a stylish salon or treatment room with electrochromic privacy glazing and air conditioning, together with a covered outdoor hot tub area, creating an outstanding lifestyle rarely found within a private home.

The first floor continues to impress with six beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each enjoying en-suite facilities and fitted storage. The principal suite is simply exceptional, occupying its own luxurious wing with an expansive bedroom, sumptuous en-suite bathroom and separate his and hers dressing rooms, creating a private sanctuary of genuine five-star quality. A superb self-contained annex further enhances the versatility of the property, providing independent accommodation ideal for extended family, guests, live-in relatives or staff.

Externally, the gardens have been meticulously landscaped to provide complete privacy and year-round enjoyment. Expansive stone terraces descend through beautifully stocked gardens towards an impressive ornamental pond, while numerous seating areas create idyllic spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing amidst tranquil surroundings. Mature trees, manicured lawns, established planting and charming garden features combine to create an exceptional outdoor environment befitting a home of this calibre. Additional outbuildings and amenity spaces further enhance the estate's versatility.

Despite its peaceful setting, The Hollies enjoys outstanding accessibility. Situated in one of Rossendale's most prestigious residential locations, the property occupies a highly desirable semi-rural position on the edge of Helmshore, surrounded by beautiful open countryside, scenic walking routes and breathtaking Lancashire landscapes. Nearby Rawtenstall and Ramsbottom offer an excellent selection of independent boutiques, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and leisure facilities, while highly regarded state and independent schools make the area particularly attractive for families.
