THE Irish folk musician who lives in Tor View, Haslingden, currently has fully sound proofed the basement so he can practice without annoying the neighbours. Something which may be of use to you or not.
Haslingden is one of those towns right at the end of the Witch Way bus route but if you’ve access to a car for the commute its five minutes from the M66 and a 30 minute drive into central Manchester.
Even if you don’t hanker after a place to practice the drums this house has other attractions. It’s a big solid Victorian end terrace for a start with four bedrooms (one in the attic) and lots of nice features like the stripped pine doors and the built in dresser in the kitchen.
It’s been on the market for a while and has dropped from £250,000 down to the current asking price of £195,000. It’s one of a row of three and the other end sold for £230,000 last year.
There are four bedroom detached estate houses in this area on the market for less but this house has quirkiness and a bit of potential. There is private outside space at the back but the front door opens right onto the road so not ideal if you have very young children.

Other things of possible note in the town are Winfields, a discount camping/outdoor wear store, a vast Tesco and it being in the catchment area for Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School.
Michael Jones from the selling agent Weale and Hitchen said: “It’s a big solid family house with bags of character in a good spot in the town. Haslingden offers very good family value.”
