Description
Knowlden House, Barnoldswick – Detached Residence with Barn, Outbuildings & 6 Acres.
A truly rare and remarkable opportunity to acquire Knowlden House – a substantial and characterful four-bedroom detached home set in approximately 6 acres of beautiful countryside, with a detached barn benefitting from full planning permission for conversion into a separate dwelling. Positioned in a serene and highly desirable rural location just outside Barnoldswick, this is a unique offering ideal for families, equestrian buyers, developers, or anyone looking for space, privacy, and potential.
Set across three floors, the main house offers generous and versatile living accommodation throughout, making the most of its elevated setting with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape.
A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, including a cosy lounge, formal dining room, a country-style breakfast kitchen, a second dining room or snug, and a rear lounge with double doors opening onto a large roof terrace, perfectly positioned to take in panoramic countryside views.
Upstairs, the first floor features four bedrooms and a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom, all enjoying views of the surrounding land.
The lower ground floor (basement level) presents exciting scope for further development. Currently comprising a utility room, WC, kitchenette area, garden storage room, and a double garage, this level could easily be reconfigured to create additional accommodation, such as a self-contained annexe, office suite, or leisure space (subject to necessary consents).
Externally, the property is surrounded by extensive private gardens, driveway parking for multiple vehicles, and a range of outbuildings.
To the side of the main house, a separate driveway provides access to the detached barn, which has approved planning permission in place for conversion into a residential dwelling – an ideal opportunity for a family annexe, guest house, or a lucrative holiday let (STP). Also located nearby is a further outbuilding currently used as stables, adding appeal for equestrian use.
The land extends to around 6 acres, offering a mix of open pasture and gently sloping countryside – ideal for horses, livestock, or a smallholding. The layout also allows for excellent separation between the main house and the barn, creating potential for dual-family living or income-generating accommodation.
Properties of this calibre, with land, views, planning consent, and such versatility, are rarely available in the local market. Knowlden House offers endless possibilities – whether you're looking to create a family estate, invest in development, or simply enjoy the rural lifestyle with room to grow.
