Surrounded by attractive Lancashire farmland yet situated just a few miles north of Preston, the village enjoys a strong sense of community centred around its historic church, village pub and well-regarded primary school. Residents benefit from easy access to excellent road networks (via the M55 and M6), making commuting to Preston, Lancaster, Manchester and beyond remarkably straightforward, whilst still enjoying the slower pace and close community associated with village life. The surrounding countryside provides wonderful opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, and nearby villages and market towns offer a wide range of additional amenities. For those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity, Woodplumpton strikes a rare and enviable balance between peace, practicality and community spirit.Setting the sceneIn recognition of the age and original period features, Historic England has classified Church House Farm as a Grade II Listed Building. Their online listing refers to the house as: Farmhouse, now house. Early to mid-C17, altered. Handmade brick, slate roof. Three-bay baffle-entry plan. Two storeys; 1st floor band, the wall above this now covered by C20 applied half-timbering with plastered panels; board door in line with ridge chimney at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays, four 4-pane sashes at ground floor and 3 casements above. Rear also altered. Interior: ground floor retains principal elements of C17 structure: back-to-back inglenook fireplaces in 2nd and 3rd bays, the former with stopped 1/4-round moulded bressummer and firewindow (altered), the latter with stop-chamfered bressumer; these rooms have beams matching the bressumers, lateral in the 2nd bay and longitudinal in the 3rd; staircase off rear left corner of 2nd bay, former staircase in front right corner of 3rd bay removed; service-end doorways from 2nd bay.Rich in character and period charm, this former farmhouse retains a wealth of original features that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Two impressive inglenook fireplaces provide striking focal points, with the larger inglenook in the sitting room housing a wood-burning stove, while a second in the kitchen beautifully frames the Aga. The dining room features an attractive red-brick chimney breast and fireplace surround, and whilst not currently housing an open fire, it adds further character. Exposed ceiling beams run throughout the property, complemented in the dining room and study by tongue-and-groove boarded ceilings set between the beams, enhancing the home's traditional farmhouse appeal. In keeping with the property's heritage, boarded internal doors, although not original, have been carefully chosen to blend sympathetically with the period features and contribute to the home's unique charm.Step inside The property can be approached from either the attractive front porch or, as is more commonly the case for everyday living, via the spacious garden hall at the rear, conveniently positioned adjacent to the parking area and garage. Both entrances provide a warm and welcoming first impression.Entering through the front porch, a small inner hall forms the heart of the ground floor, with the kitchen to one side and the sitting room to the other. The dining kitchen is the epitome of a traditional farmhouse kitchen, beautifully fitted with classically styled cabinets painted in a soft buttermilk shade, complemented by Corian work surfaces and a central island topped with granite; a cool surface perfect for pastry making. There is ample space for a family dining table and chairs, while even the family dog has been considered, with a cosy nook for a bed tucked in beside the Aga. Practicality is equally well catered for, with a useful utility room leading off the kitchen, providing access to the rear entrance, together with an internal door to the attached double garage. The garage benefits from an electric door and has been thoughtfully subdivided to include a convenient outside WC, ideal when working in the garden or fields.Returning to the inner hall, the sitting room is an impressively proportioned and immensely characterful space, perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining guests. Beyond lies the atmospheric dining room, a room made for special occasions and festive gatherings, while a separate study offers an ideal home-working environment or could equally serve as a cosy snug or teenagers' retreat.To the rear of the house, the generous garden hall is a room in itself and provides an alternative entrance complete with a cloakroom fitted with a two-piece suite and ample room for coats and outdoor footwear.From the garden hall, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where three well-proportioned double bedrooms enjoy a sunny south-facing aspect and all benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is served by an ensuite shower room comprising a shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC. The remaining two bedrooms are served by the surprisingly spacious family bathroom which, whilst reflecting its era, remains entirely functional and presents an excellent opportunity for new owners to update and personalise to their own taste.Step outsideThe outdoor space is a particular feature of Church House Farm, extending to approximately 1.81 acres in total and offering a rare combination of mature gardens, versatile outbuildings and useful grazing land.To the front of the property, the south-facing garden is attractively bordered by established trees and shrubs which provide both privacy and year-round interest, framing the kerb appeal of this striking period home. A driveway to the side leads through gates into a generous parking and turning area to the rear, providing ample space for multiple vehicles and access to the attached garage. Adjacent to the house, a paved seating terrace offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with plenty of room for garden furniture to enjoy the peaceful surroundings where wildlife flourishes, a wide variety of birds visit whilst hares and deer have been seen in the field.Beyond a second gate lies one of the property's most distinctive assets: a substantial stable block offering exceptional versatility. Currently subdivided into loose boxes, an office, store, kitchenette and two cloakrooms, the building could readily continue in an equestrian role or be adapted to suit a wide range of alternative uses. It presents exciting possibilities for home offices, a gym, workshop, studio space or hobby rooms, while the removal of internal partitions would create an impressive open-plan area suitable for a variety of enterprises, subject to any necessary consents.Further complementing the property are a detached but derelict red-brick barn and the shell of a Dutch barn, both offering considerable scope for restoration, redevelopment or alternative uses, subject to the appropriate permissions.The remaining land forms most of the acreage and provides a wonderful extension of the property's lifestyle appeal. Whether utilised for small-scale animal husbandry, enjoyed as a haven for wildlife, or simply as a safe and exciting environment for children and dogs to explore, the grounds offer a wealth of possibilities. Collectively, Church House Farm presents a rare opportunity to embrace country living on the edge of a popular village, combining the space, freedom and versatility of a rural property with the convenience of excellent accessibility and everyday amenities within easy reach.ServicesMains electricity, gas, water and drainage.

Fairhurst Hall is a Georgian-style, Grade II listed country house, set within six acres of tranquil parkland gardens and private woodland, with a long, gated driveway, plus outbuildings including a detached one-bedroom guest suite, detached triple garage, stables, and several storage buildings. Within the grounds is also a large, Grade II* listed barn (West Barn) which has planning approval to be converted to an impressive five-bedroom residential dwelling, in addition to a substantial bungalow (Fairhurst Hall Cottage) which has planning approval to extend and build into the roof to create a two-storey, five-bedroom house.The main house and its buildings are situated within an extremely private pocket of beautiful countryside in the leafy green area of Parbold in West Lancashire, benefitting from a semi-rural lifestyle surrounded by open fields, while also having easy access to nearby amenities in the lovely village of Parbold. The national motorway network and train station are just 5-10 minutes in the car, providing great commuter links and easy access to major airports. Via train, you can be in London within 3 hours of leaving the house!Fairhurst Hall Summary - The stunning period house totalling approximately 3,700 sq ft is presented in immaculate condition throughout.

High ceilings and an abundance of large windows ensure a bright and airy feel in every room, while the generous dimensions make this a fantastic family home with plenty of internal space for all to enjoy. The manicured gardens and grounds entirely surround the house and allow a lovely green outlook from every window.A brief summary of the ground floor accommodation comprises a front entrance hall with bespoke staircase, lounge, snug, dining room, kitchen, rear porch, entrance hall and staircase, cloak/WC. To the first floor are five generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spacious landing/corridor, and to the second floor is a study/storage room, in addition to a large loft spanning the full width of the property.The Living Space - The front entrance hall gives the first glimpse of the generous proportions and connects the ground floor accommodation with a grand and traditional feel. Despite its grand impression which is to be expected in a house of this status, there's a true homely feel.Within the main lounge is a solid oak floor and a bespoke, natural stone fireplace crafted by a local stonemason, which holds the centre of the room and houses a large log burning stove which is sure to create a cosy, warming glow on wintery days while enjoying the lovely garden views. Next to the main lounge is a smaller reception room offering versatility in use, suitable as a snug, playroom for the kids, or perhaps a home office? This room also benefits from the solid oak floor and another log burning stove.On the opposite side of the entrance hall is a substantial dining room which is perfect for dinner parties and special occasions with family and friends. The traditional, country kitchen is positioned adjacent to the dining room, and provides convenient access to the rear entrance hall and porch.The country kitchen was crafted by a well-respected local carpenter which features in-frame, shaker-style cabinetry, and a fabulous overhead stone feature above the cooking area with white Victorian tiled surrounds. A comprehensive range of integrated appliances include an electric Aga with warming plate, two hot plates, and four ovens, in addition to four Bosch electric hobs, a Gaggenau electric oven, Miele microwave and dishwasher, full length fridge, and double Belfast sink with feature mixer tap.

Two bedrooms feature spacious en-suite shower rooms with the master being particularly grand, while the main family bathroom includes a four-piece suite with bath, walk-in shower, inset basin, generous mirrored/concealed storage and WC.

On one side of the house facing south/west, a beautifully kept garden awaits, featuring a large York-stone paved suntrap terrace perfect for outdoor dining, and an expansive lawn with wildlife pond, all framed by mature trees. Although the lawns are manicured, all the planting in the wide borders over the years has been designed to remain as natural and low maintenance as possible.The property's wooded setting is wonderfully peaceful with a subtle soundtrack of birdsong, offering a sense of natural calm that feels more countryside retreat than suburban setting. It's an idyllic spot for children to play safely, for summer BBQs with loved ones, or for simply unwinding with a coffee and a good book surrounded by the peace and quiet of lush nature. On the opposite side of the house there is a second smaller patio and lawn which is fenced in, providing a further safe area play for young children, or enclosure for pets.Location - High Bank Lane is one of Lostock's most discreet and desirable addresses - a quiet, tree-lined, private cul-de-sac of prestigious homes surrounded by greenery, secluded from the bustle, yet incredibly well connected.Residents benefit from close proximity to some of Bolton's finest schools, including Bolton School and Clevelands Preparatory, as well as excellent public options.

Vendor Insight When did you first find this home, what first drew you to it, and what was it that instantly captured your heart? “We were already living in Birkdale and knew we wanted to stay here. We wanted a detached house that we could make into a home. This house was in need of modernisation but we could see the potential.” Tell us a little about the home’s history. Have you made any changes or additions that you feel have enhanced its character or functionality? “We set about a complete renovation but tried to be sympathetic to the age of the house and to retain original features. It feels very warm and welcoming when returning home. Although it’s large, it still feels homely. It is a victorian villa which has had many incarnations over the years but we wanted to return it to a family home adapted for modern living whilst retaining the period aesthetic and character.” Which spaces do you find yourself gravitating to most, and why? “We spend most of our time in the kitchen/living area which is light and airy due to the orangery but with a cosy snug. We like to sit here and watch the birds in the garden. We have the sun on the back of the house all afternoon and in the summer we open the french doors to enjoy the garden. The property feels most magical at Christmas. Spacious rooms and high ceilings mean we can have a large tree and Christmas dinner in the formal dining room feels special.” For families, what do you feel makes this such a wonderful place to raise children? “This is a great place to raise children because of the close proximity of local amenities including Victoria Park and Southport Beach. There is also a selection of schools around the Southport area. The grounds of the property are completely enclosed so very safe for young children.” How would you describe the local community and the lifestyle on offer? “We are only a 10-15 minute walk into Southport which has a number of shops, supermarkets and some good restaurants. Birkdale village is a similar distance and offers a choice of bars, restaurants and coffee shops.” What kinds of memories have been created here? Celebrations, milestones, or quiet moments that you’ll always cherish? “We have created lots of happy memories here but have particularly enjoyed watching our grandson enjoy the space and the swimming pool.” What do you think the next owners will fall in love with most? “I think the next owners will enjoy the location of the property. The walled garden and set back from the road position makes it feel very private but it is only minutes from all amenities. I think a family with children would feel most at home here and there is enough room for everyone to have their own space as they get older.” Additional Information Services: Mains electricity, gas, drainage and water.
