Summary - Starch Hall, Gallows Lane, Ribchester PR3 3XX
3 bed 3 bath Cottage
Elevated hamlet home with annexe and large gardens for family living.
Panoramic southerly views over open farmland and River Ribble
Set on an elevated spot with sweeping southerly views over open farmland, this substantial former gamekeeper’s cottage combines late-18th-century character with flexible, well-proportioned accommodation. The main house offers three double bedrooms, three reception rooms, a sunroom and a thoughtfully fitted Shaker-style kitchen that opens to landscaped gardens and panoramic countryside vistas.
A sizeable, self-contained annexe above a double-bay garage extends the property’s appeal for multi-generational living, long-term guests or as a holiday-let opportunity. The annexe includes two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a modern shower room and independent access, while the garage area provides space for up to three vehicles and workshop storage.
Practical features include solar panels (around 12 years of credits remaining), double glazing and oil-fired boiler heating with radiators. Notable considerations are the property’s E energy rating, oil fuel source, septic tank drainage and medium flood risk for the area. The stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, so further insulation and energy upgrades would improve efficiency.
Approximately one acre of nearby land is available via separate negotiation, which may appeal to gardeners or hobby farmers. This hamlet-edge location offers peace, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, while local primary and independent schools are within reach, making the house suitable for families seeking a commanding rural home.
