Crowtrees Farm is a substantial and characterful family home, steeped in history and charm. Originating in the early 17th century, the property bears the architectural hallmarks of several eras, each reflecting the lives and aspirations of its custodians over the centuries.

In the early 1800s, the estate passed to the Grimshaw family — successful cloth manufacturers and pioneers of spinning and weaving. Between 1805 and 1807, their prosperity and social standing inspired a programme of refinement and alteration, most notably the creation of the distinguished Georgian façade that still defines the house today.

By 1894, Crowtrees Farm had become home to W. H. Atkinson, an eminent brick manufacturer, whose family retained ownership until 1950. During their tenure, subtle enhancements were made, including the addition of a Jacobean revival-style porch. In the years that followed, the house served as the local doctor’s residence before being acquired by the present owners in 1997.

Extending to over 6,000 sq. ft including out buildings the property now offers an exciting opportunity for restoration, renovation, or thoughtful modernisation. Its generous proportions and adaptable layout make it particularly well-suited to multi-generational living, the creation of an annexe, or a holiday let. Two separate kitchens, each with its own utility room and independent access, provide excellent flexibility, while a substantial attached barn presents scope for conversion into additional living accommodation or leisure space.

The rooms throughout are light-filled and well-proportioned, offering numerous possibilities for those wishing to put their own stamp on this historic home.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, snug, and a conservatory leading to a kitchen-dining area and garden room. There is a pantry, utility room, and separate W.C., together with a rear hallway giving access to a further W.C., boiler room, and store. The second kitchen and utility connect to the barn and an outside store with W.C.

The first floor is reached via a staircase to a generous landing, currently used as a library, leading to four double bedrooms, a large single bedroom, a house bathroom, and a separate shower room.

The property enjoys superb private walled gardens and grounds to the front, side, and rear. A handsome stone barn, currently a workshop, features a large internal mezzanine and adjoins a cobbled rear courtyard. Within the courtyard stands a detached garage, bordered by additional land that could be incorporated into the garden.

Crowtrees Farm lies in the charming village of Barrowford, within the Pendle Borough of Lancashire — an area celebrated for its historic buildings, scenic countryside, and vibrant high street. Well-connected to neighbouring towns and cities, the village benefits from easy access to the M65, linking to the region’s main business centres.

Nearby attractions include the rolling landscapes of Pendle Hill, historic villages, Thornton Hall Country Park, The Muni Theatre in Colne, and the Crow Wood Hotel and Spa. The area is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and those seeking a balance of rural beauty and accessibility.
