Private 6‑bed estate with heated pool, paddock and panoramic Bowland views.
Six bedrooms plus five bathrooms across substantial 9,091 sq ft
Originally the gatehouse of a much larger estate, this commanding six‑bedroom detached home sits within almost 9.7 acres of lawns, woodland and paddock, offering exceptional privacy and wide views towards the Bowland Fells. The house combines substantial period proportions with later extensions to create a flexible family layout: a large open‑plan living kitchen with bifold doors to the patio, multiple reception rooms, a substantial office with kitchenette and shower room, and space that could be configured into single‑level annexe accommodation.
The principal suite is a particular highlight — generous bedroom, dedicated dressing room with fitted furniture and drinks fridge, a balcony with hot tub and an expansive ensuite designed to make the most of the views. Entertaining and leisure are well catered for: heated outdoor swimming pool, games/bar room, gym area and sizeable flagged terraces that open directly from the kitchen. Practical benefits include triple garage, large loft/storage above garage, excellent mobile signal and gigabit broadband suitable for home working.
Buyers should note a few material points: main heating is oil‑fired with boiler and underfloor heating, council tax is described as expensive, and the property has a medium flood risk. The house was extended and previously split into two sets of accommodation (two staircases and flexible circulation) — an advantage for conversion potential but something to review for any refurbishment plans. Overall this is a rare country residence for buyers seeking space, leisure facilities and privacy within easy reach of the A6 and nearby market towns.
