Padiham sits on the River Calder between Burnley and the Ribble Valley, with the National Trust's Gawthorpe Hall on its edge. Owner-occupied Victorian terraces and interwar semis provide strong solar opportunities.

Padiham is located approximately 3.5 miles from Burnley town centre, within the Burnley borough of Burnley. The area uses BB12 postcodes and has a population of around 10,000. Regular buses to Burnley; M65 motorway junction nearby
