Lovely bungalow, beautiful views of pendle hill. A lot bigger than it looks online in the photographs. Nice gardens and with plenty of space to park in it's own grounds. It is steep and has steps and shower over bath so not disabled friendly. Few minutes to 2 local pubs but steep walk up and down the hill. I managed it at 74 years old, but was a struggle if I'm honest. No shop in the village. Good cafe in Barley picnic area. I wanted to stay for another week, but it was booked up.
