Set on an elevated plot on Whinney Lane, this extensively renovated five-bedroom stone house offers spacious family living with sweeping Ribble Valley and Blackburn views. The property combines period character with a large two-storey rear extension and a contemporary open-plan kitchen/family room, creating generous reception space for everyday life and entertaining.
Practical family features include three bathrooms (one en-suite with underfloor heating), a utility, study, plentiful storage and a two-car garage currently fitted out as a workshop. The south-facing garden, patio, greenhouse and vegetable patch extend the living space outside and the tarmac drive provides off-street parking for about five cars.
Notable positives are the long lease (substantial unexpired term), recent renovation, mains gas central heating, double glazing and excellent mobile signal in a very low-crime, affluent rural setting within strong school catchments. Equally important are the practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, drainage is to a shared septic tank and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect heating costs despite the renovation.
This home will suit buyers seeking countryside lifestyle with generous accommodation and development potential in the plot beyond the garage. It’s well presented now but buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance typical of a sub-1900s stone house and factor in an expensive Council Tax band and the leasehold tenure when assessing long-term running costs.
