The house

Old stone, warm rooms, and a garden that climbs the hillside

This Must Be The Place sits above Ramsbottom with its back to the woods and its face to the valley. Original leaded and stained glass, slate roof, deep sills, and a wood burner for the months when the moor turns white.

Outside, dry stone terraces step down through hydrangeas and ferns to a flagged patio with a long table and a greenhouse. Walk out of the gate and you're on the hill in two minutes; walk down it and you're in town in ten.

Moorland on the doorstep

Footpaths from the gate onto Holcombe Hill and the West Pennine Moors.

Sleeps six

Three bedrooms, deep windowsills, thick stone walls and proper quiet.

Terraced garden

Dry stone terraces, hydrangeas, a greenhouse and a long table for evenings out.

Wood burner

Logs in, curtains drawn, weather doing whatever it likes outside.

Fast wifi

Fibre throughout, so a slow week here can stretch into two.

Ten minutes to town

Ramsbottom's chip shops, delis, brewery taps and the East Lancs Railway.
