Summary - The Gables, Parbold Hill, Parbold WN8 7TQ
4 bed 3 bath Character Property
Substantial Arts & Crafts house on circa five acres with panoramic Douglas Valley views.
Circa 3,000 sq ft of period-style accommodation
The Gables is an impressive 1923 Arts & Crafts detached home set in circa five acres on the edge of Parbold village. The house extends to around 3,000 sq ft and combines original period detail with sympathetic modernisation: decorative coving, timber panelling, an inglenook fireplace and a principal suite with private balcony and travertine en suite. Southerly-facing grounds and an orangery provide extensive valley views and outstanding natural light.
The plot includes sweeping gated driveways, an agricultural steel workshop, storage container, paddock and orchard — offering practical outbuildings and scope for hobby farming or equestrian use. The interior layout suits family life with four reception rooms, a dining kitchen, two utility rooms, study and flexible bedroom space, plus a summer house with power and air conditioning.
Practical considerations are clear: the property uses oil-fired central heating and cavity walls are understood to have no insulation as built, so running costs and retrofit works should be factored in. The grounds are extensive and will require ongoing maintenance; council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, which suits buyers looking for a swift move.
This is a substantial country-edge home for buyers seeking character, privacy and scope — ideal for a family wanting rural living with excellent village amenities, or someone looking for a lifestyle property with land. Survey and energy-efficiency works are recommended given the age and fuel type.
