Set on a very large plot in the village of Ribchester, this five-bedroom detached dormer bungalow offers scope to create a substantial family home with far-reaching countryside views, including Pendle Hill. The property spans around 1,903 sq ft across two floors with good-sized reception rooms, a conservatory overlooking the rear garden and an integral garage with driveway parking. It is offered freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002.
The house requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it a strong project for an experienced renovator or family wanting to personalise a long-term home. Cavity walls appear to have been built without insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance and services would be sensible. Practical issues to note: council tax is above average, broadband speeds are slow, and the site lies in a medium flood-risk area — these are important for daily living and any refurbishment plan.
Externally the property's expansive rear garden is a major asset: long lawns, mature borders, conifers for privacy, timber sheds, a raised stone pond and a small brook create a private, rural setting ideal for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. The location combines village tranquillity with very low crime and access to reputable primary schools and local amenities — appealing to families seeking space and countryside views within reach of services.
