Simonstone Road, Sabden.


Price: £495,000


A HOME with fabulous views over Pendle Hill and the Sabden Valley is this week's property of the week. With spacious internal


accommodation offering masses of room, Treetops, Simonstone Road, Sabden, is situated in such an excep­ tional location that the buyers might feel it uneces- sary ever to go on holiday again. The property is split level


and lies in landscaped mature gardens totalling some 0.8 acres on the out­ skirts of the village. Internally, Treetops com­


prises a spacious entrance hallway, a superb lounge with double glazed wrap­ around windows enjoying distant views of Sabden vil­ lage and the surrounding


THE first rung of the prop- erty ladder is becoming ever more difficult to achieve for Ribble Valley's first-time buyers.


"Sold" signs are still litter­


ing the local market place and despite numerous prophecies of a slow down, it does not appear to have affected the iower end of the property market here. Recently, I heard from a


utilised as a fifth bedroom and a spacious dining room with sliding doors to a bal­ cony. The breakfast kitchen has an "Arthur Bonnet"


countryside, an open stair- fitted kitchen, breakfast case to the sitting room, a bar, water purifying unit, study which could be heated towel cupboard and

a comprehensive range of built-in equipment. There are four spacious


bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a range of fitted bedroom furniture and four piece en- suito shower room and on- suite facilities offered with

the other three bedrooms. There is a large utility


area or hobby room and spacious garage. The rear garden adjoins


a wooded copse with an abundance of wildlife. I t also houses an alu­ minium greenhouse and

young couple who are about to make their second move. No sooner had they walked into the Clitheroe estate agency than a potential buyer offered to take their home off their hands. The terraced house in question has doubled in price since the couple bought it and, now valued at well over £100,000, is obviously outside the grasp of many first-time buyers. The story throughout the


Ribblo Valley is much the same. Prices have spiralled


Difficult odds for first-time buyers


[11(1] v . s .V "\> yj


and many young couples have been forced to look out­ side in a bid to take their first step into the property mar­ ket - or consider renting. If the situation continues,


then it will not be too long before some parts of the Val­ ley are devoid of young fami­ lies, with a subsequent knock-on effect on schools and facilities. On the rare occasions that


"affordable" housing schemes have been developed, it seems that it has taken no time at all for the "affordable" houses to provide an excellent return for those in them and, once again, rise out of the grasp of most of those they were built for.


The situation is much the


same in other parts of the country. So much so in some areas that first-time buyers are leaving the housing mar­ ket. Now the National Asso­ ciation of Estate Agents has called on the Government and lenders to take positive action to restore confidence among young buyers. The August Housing Mar­


ket Survey from the NAEA showed that the percentage of sales accounted for by first time buyers had sunk again to a record low (13%), despite two months of appar­ ent recovery following the previous record low (14%) in the May survey. FTB’s accounted for 16% in Janu­ ary and over 17% in the July survey.
