Summary - Holme House Barn, Doles Lane, Bretherton PR26 9BA
4 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Substantial 4-bed barn on 3.3 acres — ideal family or equestrian home.
c.3,000 sq ft of living space across multiple levels
Set well back on a quiet country lane, Holme House Barn is a substantial barn conversion offering c.3,000 sq ft of flexible living and more than 3 acres of land — including a 2.4 acre paddock and 0.9 acre wooded area. The home combines exposed beams and rustic brick with modern fittings: a well-proportioned living room with limestone hearth, dining room for entertaining, and a kitchen with Rangemaster range and space for large appliances. Parking for up to five vehicles and a south-facing lawn provide practical everyday living.
The first-floor galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms, two en suites and a generous master suite with walk-in dressing room. Practical touches include double glazing, an oil-fired boiler with radiator heating, solar-powered blackout blinds to Velux windows and an integral garage with power and plumbing. The property is well suited to families wanting space and to buyers seeking an equestrian or smallholding opportunity.
There are some important running costs and considerations to note. Heating is oil-fired (not a community system), the EPC is rated C and council tax is in band F (expensive). Mobile signal is described as average for the area, and the large grounds are partly managed by local farmers (paddock mowing and woodland clearance are undertaken by third parties), so buyers should be clear about ongoing land management responsibilities.
Overall, this is a rare countryside home that blends character and modern convenience with significant outdoor space. It will appeal to families seeking room to roam, equestrian owners, or buyers looking for a private rural lifestyle close to highly regarded local schools.
