About this property
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A LANDMARK LATE-VICTORIAN RESIDENCE, offering over 4,200 sq ft of character-filled accommodation, beautiful mature grounds and far-reaching views towards Ramsgreave.
Believed to have been constructed during the 1890s for prominent Blackburn cotton manufacturer and later Liberal MP John Duckworth, the property was originally known as Bella Vista before being renamed The Knolle. Today, it presents an exceptional opportunity to own not simply an impressive family home, but a fascinating piece of local history.
