Buying in Burnley
The Lancashire town of Burnley is perhaps best known for its football team, but this northern beauty spot has a whole lot more to offer. It was voted the friendliest town in Britain and showcases a balance of spectacular countryside and bustling business opportunities. In recent years, it has become a growing university town with the University of Central Lancashire’s Burnley campus hosting cutting-edge facilities and a wide range of academic courses.
Couples and young professionals can enjoy luxury living in a number of listed mills that have been recently renovated to contemporary apartments suited for city-centre living. Moving slightly towards the outskirts of Burnley is Rose Hill: a highly desirable area where detached and semi-detached homes are perfectly suited for family life. With plenty of character and charm, these houses benefit from lots of green space and are only a short walk away from Burnley centre.
