Contemporary house with pool and garden Wigan (United Kingdom)

Set within an extraordinary hillside position overlooking a picturesque greenbelt valley and tranquil river, this remarkable converted mill offers a rare fusion of heritage, scale and contemporary luxury, with an added benefit of the option for multi-generational living, a private stables block, and a selection of outbuildings. Reimagined to an award-winning standard, the property delivers a truly individual home of grand proportions, architectural intrigue and striking design. The elevated setting, expansive grounds and proximity to nature with an abundance of local wildlife represents a lifestyle opportunity of genuine distinction, in one of Standish’s most private and scenic locations. There is also a substantial amount of land available to purchase by separate negotiation. If this is of interest, please contact our office for further details. House Overview - The house is arranged over three levels, entered at the uppermost floor where the design has been intentionally inverted to maximise light, views and practicality. This main living level features a generous reception landing, statement kitchen, dining room, WC and an impressive super-sized lounge, wrapped with French doors leading to balconies on all sides to immerse the space in its surrounding scenery. The floor below comprises a spacious hall connecting four large bedrooms and a substantial family bathroom; the principal suite enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and private terrace, while the second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, and the third its own walk-in wardrobe. The lower level provides a wealth of lifestyle-focused rooms, including a secondary kitchen ideal for entertaining or summer use when in the garden, alongside a library or hobby room, study, games room and substantial garden room—creating a home perfectly suited to contemporary family life, with an abundance of space for work and study, entertaining and enjoyment. In addition, the lower floor could quite easily be reconfigured to provide a two-bedroom self-contained annex. Grounds & Outbuildings Overview - Approached via a highly private, gated driveway, the grounds extend to approx. 3 acres and are as captivating as the house itself. Lawns, terraces, patios and walled gardens are thoughtfully arranged to take full advantage of the tranquil valley outlook and leafy green surrounds, while a small wildlife lake, ancient protected woodland and a private bridge crossing the river add a sense of seclusion and connection to nature rarely found. A children’s play area and expansive fenced land further enhance the outdoor offering. Complementing the main residence are extensive outbuildings, including a substantial stable block (currently used as workshops) with fenced surrounds and a small meadow, two additional detached timber workshop or garage-style buildings, and a separate double garage—providing remarkable flexibility for storage, equestrian use, or other lifestyle hobbies. Lifestyle & Character - With historical references dating back to the 1300s, Jolly Mill offers a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of local heritage. Originally a corn mill, the building has been expertly reimagined to blend its rich industrial past with refined contemporary living. Striking original beams sit beautifully within vaulted ceilings, while extensive glazing floods the generous interiors with natural light, creating a series of bright, airy and highly impressive spaces that celebrate both character and design. Jolly Mill is particularly appealing to those who value space, privacy and a strong connection to the outdoors. From peaceful summer evenings spent on the balconies or terraces, enjoying sweeping valley views, birdsong, and the gentle flow of the river below, to hosting family and friends within the home’s grand yet welcoming entertaining spaces and gardens. Children can explore and play safely within the private grounds, while hobbyists and equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the freedom to spend time with horses or enjoy the workshops at leisure. Quite simply, Jolly Mill offers a way of life that is as rare as it is rewarding. Main Living Space – Top Floor - The fabulous main kitchen enjoys views through bifold doors onto the balcony and over the landscaped gardens. Its central island with bar seating allows it to be both a practical and highly sociable space where cooking and family time blend together as one. Vast granite worktops afford ample preparation space and the sleek two-tone cabinetry with larder cupboards give a modern appeal while providing plenty of storage space. Integrated appliances include four ovens, a four-zone hob with extractor, dishwasher, full length fridge and freezer, Blanco multi-tap and sink. Benefitting from an open aspect flow from the kitchen, the dining room features unique interior windows reaching high into the room which further highlight the impressive, vaulted ceilings. A log burner in the corner of the room adds a cosy touch for the colder winter months, and its large size allows ample space for even the largest of families when hosting on special occasions. From the dining room, stroll through a pair of double doors and the huge living room awaits. A range of oak French doors complement the oak floor underfoot and original beams overhead. The six pairs of oak French doors give access to balconies on all sides and tastefully frame different angles of the gorgeous surrounding scenery. A large log burner holds the centre of the space and is sure to emit a warming orange glow when required. Owing to the very generous size of this room, if needed, it could easily be a multi-functional room, adding to the versatile and flexible appeal for modern family life. Bedrooms & Bathrooms – Middle Floor - Head down the bespoke oak staircase to a large hallway connecting the bedrooms and bathrooms. The grand proportions continue on this floor too, most notably in the master bedroom and family bathroom where the rooms are of palatial scale. The master bedroom enjoys a private terrace, uninterrupted scenic views, and a substantial walk-in wardrobe. The three other bedrooms are all very generous doubles too, and all are presented in immaculate condition in keeping with the contemporary style of the home – the second is complete with a three-piece shower en-suite and the third with another walk-in wardrobe. Within the extremely spacious family bathroom is a comprehensive suite, including a freestanding bath set on an elevated tiled platform, an open aspect shower with tiled surrounds, WC, a large his and hers vanity basin unit with lots of integral storage, and a chrome, feature towel radiator. As well as the bedrooms and bathrooms on this middle floor, the floor below offers scope for two additional bedrooms if desired... Working, Entertainment & Leisure – Lower Floor - The lower level has been thoughtfully designed as a dedicated lifestyle and entertaining floor, offering exceptional versatility and seamless connection to the gardens. At its heart sits a contemporary, fully integrated premium kitchen with a central island, ideal for hosting, informal gatherings or summer entertaining. Bifold doors open directly onto the garden, allowing indoor and outdoor living to flow effortlessly and making this level perfectly suited to family celebrations, social occasions or relaxed weekends at home. Complementing the kitchen is an impressive garden room, flooded with natural light and opening to the outdoors via two sets of bifold doors, creating a striking space for dining, relaxing or entertaining year-round. A generous games room provides an ideal setting for leisure and recreation, while the library or hobby room—enhanced by French doors to the garden—offers a quieter retreat for reading, creativity or personal pursuits. Completing this level is a versatile snug or studio, equally well suited as a substantial home office, ensuring the property caters effortlessly to modern working patterns while preserving a clear distinction between work, relaxation and family life. The lower floor also offers excellent scope for further bedroom and bathroom accommodation if desired, and would also be suitable for use as a self-contained annex, allowing multi-generational living. What are now the library/hobby room and office/studio could easily be configured for use as bedrooms. The office/studio also previously had a WC which was removed, but could be reinstalled if using this lower floor for bedroom and bathroom accommodation. Outdoor Space - Occupying an exceptional plot of approximately three acres, Jolly Mill enjoys a truly special natural setting that elevates it well beyond the ordinary. The land unfolds beautifully from the moment of arrival, with a long, private gated driveway setting the tone for the privacy and the sense of your own secluded retreat. The house sits comfortably within its large grounds, positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the green valley and river below, creating a feeling of space and immersion in nature. The gardens themselves are both expansive and thoughtfully arranged, offering a variety of distinct areas suited to relaxation, entertaining and family life. Formal lawns, walled garden sections, balconies, terraces and patios provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining, socialising or simply enjoying the changing seasons. A wildlife lake adds a further point of interest and tranquillity, while ancient woodland creates a natural backdrop and encourages an abundance of wildlife. The gentle sound of the river, accessed via a private bridge, enhances the sense of calm and connection to the landscape. For families and lifestyle-led buyers, the outdoor space offers exceptional versatility. A dedicated children’s play area provides a safe and adventurous environment, while a fenced area and private meadow adjacent to the stables lend themselves perfectly to equestrian use, growing your own fruits and veggies, or further landscaping. The workshops and garaging support a wide range of pursuits, from leisure and recreation to practical and creative interests.

No chain! Brook House is an idyllic, one of a kind home where no detail has been overlooked and no expense has been spared. The property showcases over 5,000 sq ft of luxurious accommodation, situated on a gated 1.1 acre plot amidst the peaceful Lancashire countryside. Despite its tranquil countryside setting, it's a well-connected location, with the national motorway network accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, and plentiful amenities within a short drive. There are many aspects which make this property one of a kind. The smart-home and eco-home technology. The opulent interior design crafted with the finest materials.

Separate from the main house is an additional building consisting of a detached double garage and a large home gym with terrace overlooking the natural garden lake, which holds excellent potential for a variety of uses. Outstanding Design - Formerly a public house dating back to the early 1800s, this property has undergone significant redevelopment and been transformed into a signature residential property with outstanding design, both inside and out, where interiors have been masterfully crafted by the award-winning interior design and architectural studio 'Design by Uber'. From the polished marble bathrooms and crystal-effect stone feature walls, the stone and oak flooring, to the designer chandeliers and grand vaulted ceilings, every detail contributes to creating a true wow-factor. The house has also been designed with practicality in mind, benefitting from a floor plan that flows perfectly for both everyday life and when entertaining family and friends, while taking full advantage of the landscaped grounds through an abundance of glass. Additionally, there are plenty of smart-home features that give convenience for daily life, such as underfloor heating throughout with independent control for every room, an integrated indoor and outdoor sound system, mood lighting, remote controlled black-out curtains and blinds, and a comprehensive security system with CCTV and intercom for the electric gates. Well prepared for the ongoing transition to green energy, and having the advantage of long-term energy savings, the heating system is powered by two air-source heat pumps, with a heat recovery system which optimises the efficiency of the pumps. The Approach - On the country lane, a tall hedgerow adjoins a stone wall and two stone pillars set beside the electric gates, creating a beautiful entrance and a great sense of privacy. Beyond the gates a large drive bordered by manicured lawns sits in front of the house, providing lots of space for parking, and continues further to the detached double garage on the left. An Abundance Of Living Space - There are two entrances to the property at the front, one being the main front door, which is ideal for guests, leading through a traditional porch and into the grand entrance hall, and the other being a more practical, daily entrance to the meet the demands of modern family life, leading through the boot room, past the downstairs WC, and into the kitchen. The principal lounge is super generous in size, spanning the full depth of the property. It's no surprise it is presented to impeccable standards, with a hidden home cinema system including integrated ceiling speakers, and an Epson projector and Sapphire screen that descend from the ceiling. Draw the black-out curtains with a touch of a button on the remote, and you have the complete big screen experience from the comfort of your own home. As well as the home cinema, a set of bifold doors makes the most of the views to the garden, and the chimney breast is home to a log burner and wall-mounted TV point. The heart of the home is arguably the top of the range Siematic kitchen, grounded by a smart limestone floor. A substantial island with Corian worktop and oak breakfast bar allows the room to be a superb social space, and the comprehensive range of high quality appliances are housed within contemporary two-tone cabinetry. Integrated cooking appliances include a Miele oven, steam oven, combination microwave, and two warming drawers, plus a Siemens induction hob and downdraft extractor. There's also a full length fridge and freezer, Miele wine cooler, Siemens dishwasher, and Caple sink with Quooker tap. Off the kitchen the spacious Siematic utility room ensures you can keep the kitchen tidy and clutter-free with additional storage cupboards and worktop space, an extra Caple sink, and plenty of room to do the laundry with plumbing for the washer/dryer. Adjacent to here is also a study with a window to the front, which would alternatively be well suited for use as a play room for the little ones. On the other side of the kitchen, a few steps lead down to the family room, where a vast set of floor to ceiling windows and bifold doors frame expansive views of the lush green grounds and garden lake while providing access to the rear garden terrace and circular walled patio - a perfect setup for garden parties and enjoying the summer weather. The oak floor in this room gives a nod to the cottage character, and the stylish fire set within a media wall adds to the modern design. Due to its great size and convenient position next to the kitchen, it's a versatile room with sufficient space for both a lounge area and an informal dining/breakfast area. In addition to the principal lounge and family room, there are two further reception rooms... The grand entrance hall is large enough to be another sitting area, with a log burner that's sure to give a warming glow on cold, wintery days. With an open aspect to the entrance hall, the dining room is another delightful space for dinner parties and entertaining, with more bifold doors that 'bring the outside in' and allow you to appreciate the landscaped grounds year-round. A notable aspect of the interior design in this part of the property is the glass floor that displays the wine cellar below. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Ascending from the centre of the home between the kitchen and dining room is a bespoke walnut staircase with glass balustrades, handcrafted leather handrail, and a stunning crystal-effect tiled stone feature wall that rises high into the vaulted ceiling. The feature wall is illuminated by subtle uplights set within the floor that complement the 2.3m Italian-crystal chandelier hanging beautifully within the stairwell. From the gallery landing, the end of the corridor opens into the imposing master suite with another vaulted ceiling and designer chandelier that add to the grandeur. Within the bedroom, a set of bifold doors pour natural light into the room and lead to the balcony spanning the width of the property at the rear. A partition wall with designer wallpaper separates the super-king bed from a private dressing area, similar to that of boudoirs found in premium suites of the best hotels, fitted with high quality cabinetry, a dressing table and mirror with inset lighting. The opulence continues in the large walk-in wardrobe featuring elegant, mirrored wardrobes, drawers, an island and shelving. Above here is a fabulous mezzanine master bathroom which is fully tiled with white marble and comprises a four-piece suite, including a tiled-in steam shower with marble seating, bath with marble surrounds, WC, and vanity basin with storage. Each of the three further bedrooms have their own en-suites and are well-proportioned for family life, benefitting from being good sized doubles so the whole family can enjoy oodles of space. The professional interior design is evident in the en-suites too, with polished marble tiling to the floor and walls, and substantial walk-in showers with glass facades. The second bedroom also benefits from bifold doors opening onto the rear balcony, and the third bedroom features a walk-through dressing passage with bronze-tinted, mirrored fitted wardrobes. Outbuildings & Outside Space - An advantage of this already spectacular home is the versatile two-storey outbuilding, composed of the double garage with electric door which is accessed from the driveway, and below is a huge room that's currently configured as a fully equipped gym. The gym is incredibly private despite its wealth of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the natural garden lake, and glass doors open onto a lakeside terrace with swim spa and hot tub (available by separate negotiation). If not used as a gym, this versatile space could suit a variety of uses, subject to regulations. A games room with snooker table and bar? Self-contained annex accommodation for family? Or perhaps separated as an Airbnb for extra income? The choice is yours! Hidden behind this outbuilding is a large log store. As well as the waterfall flowing into the garden lake, a trickling brook flows down the side of the boundary, providing a calming countryside sound to be enjoyed while you're relaxing outside on warm summer days. Beyond the terrace and circular walled patio outside the family room, the grounds continue far beyond the water over a grassy area bordered by woodland, to a fenced children's play area at the bottom of the garden. It's fair to say this property has it all. Countryside Convenience - Situated on a country lane between several villages in south-west Lancashire, Brook House brings with it the opportunity to enjoy the peace and quiet of countryside living while being well connected for transport links, schools and amenities. Junction 27 of the M6 is accessible in only 5 to 10 minutes, making it an ideal location for those who regularly commute but prefer a more rural lifestyle, while adding to its overall accessibility for everyone. By rail, Buckshaw Parkway and Chorley stations are within a 15 to 20 minute drive, and the smaller but closer station of Parbold is just 10 minutes away, all of which give easy access to the nearby cities of Manchester, Preston, and Liverpool. You can also be in London within 3 hours of leaving the house! Owing to its location between several villages, there's a wide selection of amenities within a short drive too, including country pubs and restaurants, health clubs and spas, mini supermarkets, convenience stores, independent shops and farm shops, as well as a variety of good primary and secondary schools. Specifics & Services - The tax band is G. The tenure is freehold. The smart-home automation brand is Control4. The water and drainage are connected mains.

A Nod To Its Past - Originally constructed in 1885 as a Wesleyan Congregational Chapel, Chapel House occupies a unique place within the history of the Whittlestone Head hamlet. Built to serve the local rural community, the handsome stone building became a familiar landmark, distinguished by its impressive proportions, lofty ceilings and striking architectural detailing that still define the property today. During the 1960s, the former chapel was thoughtfully converted into a private residence, carefully preserving many of the building's most distinctive features while creating a spacious and practical family home. The conversion successfully retained the character and craftsmanship of the original structure, allowing its ecclesiastical heritage to remain an integral part of the home's identity. Living Spaces With Character - An elegant entrance porch opens into what is undoubtedly one of Chapel House's most remarkable spaces-a spectacular reception hall and sitting area that immediately showcases the building's fascinating heritage. Rising to a magnificent vaulted ceiling, this breathtaking space retains many of the original architectural features of the former Wesleyan Chapel, including exposed timber roof trusses, a striking circular feature window and soaring glazed elevations that flood the room with natural light.
