About this property

32A Bank Street sits above Rawtenstall’s atmospheric cobbled high street, giving you a private perch right in the centre of this character-filled conservation area, making it perfect for friends or families seeking a getaway. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by independent shops, inviting cafés, lively bars and the unmistakable buzz of a thriving market town. It’s a fantastic choice for couples, friends or small families who want a stylish base with everything on the doorstep. A private staircase leads you to the top floor, where the apartment opens into a bright hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the space.

Just ahead is a broad open-plan living area designed for easy-going days and unhurried evenings. Two classic Chesterfield sofas face the wall-mounted Smart TV, creating a sociable corner for watching a favourite film or easing into the morning. Sunlight pours through generous windows, offering rooftop views that stretch towards the valley edges and distant hills, a gentle nod to the landscapes that wrap around the town. The kitchen is well-appointed for self-catering, with all the essentials for preparing breakfast spreads, simple suppers or dishes inspired by local produce from Rawtenstall’s shops and stalls. The dining table sits close by, giving you a relaxed spot for mealtimes, conversation and planning your next outing.

The two bedrooms are peaceful, thoughtfully presented spaces: one is a twin room, while the other is a double with its own en-suite shower room and a wall-mounted TV for added ease and privacy. A separate family bathroom features a bath with an overhead shower, ideal for a quiet end-of-day soak after exploring the area. At the rear of the building, you’ll find off-road parking, a rare and welcome advantage in such a central location. Book 32A Bank Street now to get the holiday excitement underway.

Rawtenstall is a welcoming Lancashire town surrounded by the rolling landscapes of the Rossendale Valley, offering a blend of independent shops, heritage attractions, and easy-going northern character. At its heart is the lively Rawtenstall town centre, where you’ll find the much-loved Whittaker Pavilion & Museum, stylish cafés, and a strong local market tradition. The beautifully revived Rawtenstall Market and the nearby independent-filled high street give the town a distinctive, creative feel. A standout attraction is the East Lancashire Railway, where heritage steam trains run through scenic countryside and offer a memorable way to explore the wider area. Rawtenstall is also home to the renowned Mr Fitzpatrick’s Temperance Bar, the oldest surviving temperance bar in Britain, serving nostalgic cordials and botanical drinks. Just a short distance away is The Whitaker, a contemporary museum and gallery set in a Victorian house, offering exhibitions, events, and a café overlooking the parkland. And with Burnley close by, offering The Singing Ringing Tree sculpture, Towneley Hall, and a rich industrial heritage, the area combines natural beauty with fascinating history. With green hills on the doorstep and excellent links to Manchester, Rawtenstall offers an appealing mix of culture and countryside.
