Workhouse???

I suppose this is where I make like an Estate Agent.

LOWER CLOUGH BANK

What we have here is a rustic dwelling comprising a basement room to the rear of the property, two rooms to the principal floor and two bedrooms to the upper floor. The property would benefit from some renovation and would suit a couple interested in DIY.
Especially as the upper floor, inner walls and roof are missing. To the north the property has excellent views towards Pendle Hill, The property is situated adjacent to the tow path of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (in this part, Circa 1790-94). Outside the property there are the usual ruined outbuildings and muddy paths.

The actual date of construction of this bijou residence is any time between 1790 and 1900. And there is some evidence that it was once connected to the local electricity supply. Interestingly, immediately outside the property, on the other side of the canal is a swing bridge, held in a permanently open position. Perhaps this gives some clue as to the original reason for the property's isolated position.
