‘Charming' home with swimming pool hits market – here's how much it costs
It's the time of the week when we shine a spotlight on a dream property in East Lancashire – and this time we are taking you to Rawtenstall.
The 'charming' home, in Bury Road, has its own pool room with a heated indoor swimming pool.
Tucked away in the heart of the picturesque Rossendale Valley, the property itself is set within approximately 1.9 acres of lush, mature gardens and private woodland.
It is said to offer an 'exceptional living experience' with 'breathtaking views'.
From the moment you enter the property, the sense of scale and character is unmistakable.
The grand entrance hall boasts hardwood features, cornice coving, and solid wood flooring, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
The impressive home has four reception rooms, including a formal living room with a stone fireplace, a bright sunroom opening onto the garden, a classic dining room, and a study.
These spaces are perfect for entertaining or unwinding with family.
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with a practical utility space and tiled effect flooring.
The standout feature of this home is the indoor heated swimming pool. Measuring an impressive 29 feet by nearly 12 feet, this pool can be used all year round.
It also has direct access to the garden and shower facilities.
Upstairs, the first floor continues to impress with five generously sized bedrooms.
The master suite has bay windows offering far-reaching views, fitted wardrobes, and a large en suite bathroom featuring a bath and shower.
Each additional bedroom benefits from charming period details, with several offering wash basins and vanity units — ideal for family life or guest accommodation.
Outside, the grounds are equally remarkable. A sweeping driveway leads to a detached double garage with ample off-road parking.
The garden offers a blend of manicured lawns, flourishing bedding areas, and natural woodland.
It's a great space for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking further development options.
A spokesperson for Keenans Estate Agents, which is marketing the property, said: 'Nestled on Bury Road in the charming town of Rawtenstall, Rossendale, this substantial detached family home offers an exceptional living experience.
"Set within approximately 1.9 acres of picturesque landscapes, the property boasts breathtaking views that create a serene backdrop for everyday life.'

Realistic self-care for a busy summer
LET'S be honest, summer doesn't always feel as relaxing as we imagine it will be. Between school holidays, family plans, barbecues and trying to make the most of every sunny moment, life can quickly become busier than ever. Here in Worcester we're lucky to have beautiful green spaces and riverside paths that make it easier to slow down. But when life gets busy what's the first thing we drop? Ourselves. But self-care doesn't have to mean long spa days or expensive retreats. More: When romantic country house hosted a royal wedding It can be small, simple moments that help us feel like ourselves again. For me it starts with something as basic as wearing clothes I feel good in. When I'm hot and flustered everything feels harder! Choose light, comfortable clothes that help you move through the day with ease. A quick shower before bed for me has been a game-changer. Not only does it cool me down, it also washes away the day, both mentally and physically. Hydration sounds obvious but it's one of the easiest things to forget. Keep a glass or bottle nearby and sip throughout the day even if you don't feel thirsty. And don't underestimate the power of music. Pop on a playlist you love, something uplifting while you're cooking dinner or folding laundry. Bonus points if you dance around the kitchen with the kids! Sometimes five quiet minutes with a cup of tea or a catch-up with a friend is all the self-care you need. It doesn't have to be perfect and it definitely doesn't have to be fancy. Whatever your version of self-care looks like this summer, give yourself permission to take it. You matter too!

The "Long Lunch" Is The Best Dinner Party For Early Birds
In my thirties, I loved hosting big dinner parties, and they were always over the top. These aspiration-driven affairs always included an ambitious menu of overly complicated recipes that usually resulted in us not sitting down to eat until 8 or 9 p.m. Fueled by adult beverages and hamstrung by repressed hunger, we'd gorge ourselves senseless and linger at the table until well after midnight. These days, with my fifties just a few years on the horizon, my entertaining style is changing now that I actually need 8 hours of sleep to function. While I'm far from scoping out Early Bird specials and making 4:45 dinner reservations, I don't hate the idea of getting an earlier start—or better yet, shifting my party planning from a late dinner to a long lunch. Let me explain. Inherently, the words 'dinner party' connote a more formal gathering, leading to questions like 'what do I wear,' 'who's going to babysit the kids,' and 'do I need to clear my calendar for the next day.' In contrast, a long lunch suggests a more relaxed gathering with a finite timespan. It can start at noon, or even a little later, say...2 p.m. It can be devilishly tempting to overreach if you're hosting a dinner party. If you have an entire day ahead of you to cook and futz, it's easy to get seduced by laborious, overly complicated recipes. While it's totally ok to want to show off for company, committing to a long lunch focuses your energy and efforts into a shorter time span, forcing you to make smarter decisions in the kitchen. The older I get, the more I appreciate a good night's sleep. When you eat a big meal right before bedtime, you may have more trouble falling asleep. Additionally, even though you're asleep, your digestive system is hard at work, which cuts into your body's rejuvenation time. Finally, depending on what you eat, you're more likely to experience heartburn and indigestion if you go to sleep soon after eating. I know it sounds like I've got one foot in the grave, y'all—but I really just want to have a fun time and not feel like leftovers the next day. Host your own "Long Lunch" and you'll see what I mean—you'll have a great time AND you'll get a good night's sleep. Read the original article on Southern Living
