AN historic Grade II-listed family home which has been tastefully modernised is this week’s property of the week.

Beardwood Old Hall at Beardwood Fold in Blackburn is currently on the market with Fine and Country with offers over £685,000 being asked for.

The property dates to the early 1600s and retains period styling and Gothic style doors and windows. In the main living room, the large windows retain their the original shutters.

Four generous bedrooms make this an ideal family home and there are generous amounts of outdoor space.

Looking at the property in more detail, there is a spacious family dining kitchen with kitchen units by Simpsons of Colne. There is a separate snug with gas fire and beamed ceiling and an inner hallway with cloakroom and toilet.

There is a large dual aspect living room/dining room dining room with marble fireplace and wood burning stove as well as ornate coving to the ceiling and door.

There is a cellar with easy access from the kitchen which is used as a utility room and storage area with access to front courtyard via external steps.

The first floor is split into two areas; the mezzanine area with two generous double bedrooms and then a separate staircase to two further bedrooms. The master bedroom is open to the eaves with exposed beams and has an ensuite wet room. In addition, there is a separate house bathroom.

Externally, to one side of the house is a small courtyard used for parking one car, bin storage and log store. To the front is a gated driveway with ample parking for several cars.

The gardens and grounds are superb and private and there are various sitting areas as well as a tree house and a green house.

The double garage is stone built with a slate roof and has double up and over door, electric light, and power.

This deceptively spacious family home is described as a ‘hidden gem’ situated in a convenient area on the outskirts of Blackburn.
