New to Market: Oak Lea, Knowle Green – Character, Space & Stunning Countryside Views
This month, we’re delighted to introduce Oak Lea, a substantial Accrington red-brick family home set within the sought-after rural hamlet of Knowle Green. Positioned back from the road and surrounded by beautifully established gardens, this is a property that immediately makes an impression.
A substantial family home with character, space and spectacular countryside surroundings.
Stepping through the original glazed porch, the generous entrance hall sets the tone for the spacious accommodation beyond. The ground floor offers an impressive choice of living spaces, including a beautiful lounge with a large bay window and gas fireplace, alongside a more intimate snug with a fitted media wall, gas fire and wonderful south-facing views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
At the heart of the home is the farmhouse-style kitchen, where traditional character meets modern practicality. An oil-fired Rayburn takes centre stage, while the adjoining conservatory provides a lovely connection to the gardens and a peaceful place to enjoy the changing seasons. A separate dining room, with doors opening directly onto the rear garden, makes entertaining and family dining particularly easy.
Upstairs, Oak Lea offers five generous double bedrooms, with several enjoying far-reaching views towards Pendle Hill, Winter Hill, Longridge Fell and Jeffrey Hill. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with dual-aspect views, a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, while a further bedroom benefits from a recently renovated en-suite.
The property also offers excellent flexibility for the future. A useful utility area has potential, subject to the necessary consents, to become a downstairs shower room or cloakroom, while the substantial boarded loft extends across the full footprint of the property and provides considerable additional storage.
However, it is the gardens that really set Oak Lea apart. The mature front gardens are approached via a pebbled driveway, with a magnificent established oak tree creating a striking focal point. There is also a carport, detached garage, boot room and outside WC.
To the rear, the garden extends a considerable distance from the house, creating an exceptional sense of space. Mature trees, established borders, fruit trees, ponds, lawns and seating areas combine to create a beautifully established setting that has clearly been lovingly cared for over many years. A charming summer house sits at the far end of the garden, providing a wonderful additional space from which to enjoy the surroundings and look back towards the characterful red-brick elevations of Oak Lea.
With five double bedrooms, three en-suites, four reception rooms, extensive gardens, far-reaching countryside views and a wealth of original character, Oak Lea offers an exceptional amount of space and versatility in a truly special rural setting.
Oak Lea is now new to market this month with Pendle Hill Properties. If you would like to arrange a viewing or find out more, please get in touch with our team today.
