Set in the attractive village of Bretherton, this converted-barn property offers an unusually large footprint across three floors, circa 4,210 sq ft. The house combines original character features with modern extensions: skylights, vaulted living room, a wrap-around conservatory and generous reception rooms that suit family life and entertaining. The basement provides practical utility and a flexible multi-purpose room currently fitted as a gym.
The kitchen is well-equipped with high-end integrated appliances, a classic Aga and island breakfast bar. The ground floor flows to a conservatory and patio, while underfloor heating in key rooms and oak internal fittings uplift everyday comfort. Externally there is a long private driveway, detached double garage with loft storage and a large, well-screened wrap-around garden — a clear asset for families who value privacy and outdoor space.
Practical points to note: the property is oil-fired (private supply), so running costs and servicing should be considered. The EPC is rated C and council tax is above average. The location is secluded in a prosperous rural area with good local schools and road/rail links, but some buyers may find the setting more rural than urban amenities.
Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family residence with flexible living areas and a large plot. It will suit buyers seeking privacy, space and countryside living while accepting the ongoing costs associated with oil heating and higher local tax bands.
