| Description |
THE OLD PUMP HOUSE:
This, detached, secluded property was built over 100 years ago as a Steam-Powered Water-Pumping Station and converted in the late 1970s to a unique three bedroom, three reception-roomed dwelling. The retained water tank remains as evidence of its original use.
Constructed in random stone and double-glazed throughout, the property offers spacious and well laid out accommodation.
Set in its own grounds of a third of an acre and abutting adjacent farmland, "The Old Pump House" is approached along a 150 yard lane situated on the edge of this unspoiled rural hamlet within the boundary of Wycoller Country Park.
WYCOLLER:
A short drive from Colne, this charming hamlet is situated in an area renowned for its history and outstanding natural beauty. Through Wycoller Dene runs Wycoller Beck with its ford and fascinating collection of bridges. Centrally situated is the impressive, ruined 16c Hall considered to be the inspiration for Ferndean Manor in Charlotte Brontλs Jane Eyre. For the more energetic, Haworth, the home of the Brontλ Family can be reached on foot across the moors. Both the Pendle and Brontλ Ways pass through Wycoller, a haven for diverse wildlife, with regular sightings of Roe Deer.
Whilst still enjoying this beautiful rural setting, Wycoller is conveniently located for access to business centres of both East Lancashire and West Yorkshire. The nearby town of Colne provides a range of local services along with leisure and recreational activities.
