Rossendale continues to be a fantastic place to live, offering stunning countryside right on the doorstep. Residents also benefit from close proximity to the Ribble Valley and easy access into Manchester, which is just 15 miles away.

Connectivity is a real strength, with the X43 Witchway bus service providing regular, direct links into Manchester city centre, running as late as 2:20am on Fridays and Saturdays—ideal for those who enjoy late-night dining, theatre and socialising.

There is plenty of positive change happening across the valley, particularly in Rawtenstall. The town has benefited from significant central government investment, including the modernisation of the historic market building, alongside further funding for repaving Bank Street, widening pavements and enhancing the town centre. These improvements are helping to support the area’s thriving café culture and independent shops, which give Rawtenstall its distinctive charm.

Nearby areas such as Ramsbottom and Edenfield (BL0 & BL9) remain as popular as ever, continuing to attract strong buyer demand.
