Ashland’s Lodge – A Rare Gem of Victorian Character. Ashland’s Lodge gatehouse presents an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s most iconic and instantly recognisable buildings.

Originally built as the Gatehouse to ‘Ashland’s’, the property boasts individual Victorian, bespoke architecture with a striking façade that draws attention for all the right reasons. Remarkably, despite its historic charm, Ashland’s Lodge is not listed, giving buyers the freedom and flexibility to create a home tailored to their own style and needs.

Living Accommodation Warmed by gas central heating, the property is entered via a side porch which opens into a generous main living room – a welcoming space ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with three beautiful arched windows overlooking the front garden.

The heart of the home is the spacious, L-shaped dining kitchen. Offering a wide range of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and ample room for a family dining table, this sociable space is both practical and inviting.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms The property provides three large bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys its own En Suite shower room, complete with cubicle, wash hand basin, and WC. The second bedroom is a generous double with a front-facing aspect, while bedroom three benefits from French doors opening directly onto the rear patio.

A modern three-piece family bathroom, comprising a panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin, and WC, serves bedrooms two and three.

External Features Approached via a private lane shared only with the main house; the home enjoys a block-paved driveway and detached garage. Pathways wind around the property, leading to a generous rear patio garden, screened by mature shrubs and trees – perfect for private outdoor dining and relaxation.

Location Perfectly positioned, Ashland’s Lodge enjoys convenient access to an excellent range of local amenities. Highly regarded schools including BRGS Grammar, shops, supermarkets, and regular public transport are all within easy reach. Major commuter links, including the M66, place Manchester, Bury, and beyond within comfortable reach. Just a short drive away, Rawtenstall town centre offers a thriving mix of independent shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants, while the stunning Rossendale countryside provides endless opportunities for walking and outdoor pursuits.
