Set on the fringe of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this substantial detached barn conversion with an attached two-bedroom cottage offers flexible living across c.4,200 sq ft. The main barn delivers five bedrooms, generous reception rooms, a showpiece open-plan kitchen and a galleried lounge; the adjoining cottage provides independent accommodation suited to guests or holiday-let use. Both buildings sit within landscaped gardens and approximately two acres of land with far-reaching Ribble Valley views.
The property blends period character and modern efficiency: exposed roof trusses, stone chimney breasts and Clearview stoves sit alongside underfloor heating in parts, solar panels with a 10kW battery, air-source heat pump for the cottage and fast B4RN broadband. Practical outbuildings include a detached double-sized garage with workshop, stable block/field shelter with electrics and a kitchen garden — appealing for families and small-scale equestrian or hobby farming.
Considerations: the main heating uses oil with a boiler and underfloor circuits, and drainage is via a private sewage treatment plant. Council Tax Band G is towards the higher end locally. The property dates from a late-1990s/early-2000s conversion period; while finishes are largely high quality, buyers should view to assess any specific maintenance or upgrade needs, particularly for long-term running costs and the separate services to the cottage.
This is a rare package for buyers seeking a roomy country residence with income potential or multi-generational flexibility. The two-acre plot, extensive parking and countryside aspect create a private, versatile setting — best appreciated in person by appointment.
