A rare Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse set in an exclusive gated development, offering about 3,207 sq.ft of character living across multiple floors. The house retains strong period features — exposed beams, original stone flooring and wattle-and-daub walls — combined with sympathetic modern finishes in principal rooms. Spacious private gardens, a gravel driveway and detached double garage add practical family space and parking for several cars.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or extension works. The building has solid brick historic walls with no assumed insulation and is heated primarily by electric room heaters; upgrading services and insulation may be required to improve comfort and energy use. Flooding risk is medium and the area records higher-than-average crime and a relatively high council tax band, which are important local considerations.
The layout is especially family-friendly: a large reception hall, formal dining room, main lounge, garden room, study with separate staircase and a self-contained guest wing. Nearby schools rated good provide strong local schooling options, and Leyland town and transport links to Preston and Manchester are within easy reach. For buyers seeking a substantial character home in a private setting, this property offers authenticity and scope — but expect listed-building limitations and further investment to modernise services.
