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.

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.  Council Tax: Band H.  Local Authority: Sefton.  Tenure: Leasehold.   Rent: £15.  Broadband: (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    Standard – 16 Mpbs (highest available download speed) – 1 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Superfast – 65 Mpbs (highest available download speed) –13 Mpbs (highest available upload speed)    Mobile coverage: Good Outdoor, Variable In-home (Information taken from checker.ofcom.org.uk)    We always recommend you contact your supplier to discuss the availability of broadband and mobile coverage at this property.     Directions: Using the app what3words type in: rests.bring.ship   Referral Fees: Fine & Country sometimes refers vendors and purchasers to providers of conveyancing, financial services, survey & valuations services, currency exchange and staging & styling.

There's space here for everyone - with room for children to grow, guests to stay in comfort, and parents to enjoy a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Loft Conversion Potential - The expansive loft space, including two rooms historically used as second floor bedrooms, presents a significant opportunity for conversion. Thanks to the wide central landing and original staircase, installing a full staircase to the upper level would be straightforward, paving the way for additional bedrooms or creative/studio space, all while preserving the grandeur of the existing layout. For large families or those seeking multi-generational living options, this is a golden opportunity to futureproof the home with valuable extra space. Outside Space - The home sits way back from the private lane behind a long, tree-lined driveway, offering privacy and a true sense of serenity. There is ample parking to the front, and on the rear drive. 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. Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park is a mile away, offering everything from supermarkets and high street names to restaurants, cafes, and family entertainment. Lostock mainline station is a 3-minute drive/20-minute walk away, and Horwich Parkway mainline station is within a short drive, both offering direct routes into Manchester and beyond, including Manchester Airport. Junctions 5 and 6 of the M61 are both within easy reach, keeping road travel quick and simple. Golf lovers will enjoy having Bolton and Regent Park Golf Clubs virtually on the doorstep (each only a five-minute walk away), and nature enthusiasts are only minutes from the walking trails, reservoirs, and viewpoints of Rivington, Smithills and the surrounding Pennines. It's the perfect location for modern families seeking peace, space and exclusivity - without compromising on connectivity, education or lifestyle convenience.

Location Woodplumpton is a highly desirable village, offering an appealing blend of countryside tranquility and everyday convenience. 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 scene In 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 outside The 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.

Built in 1820 as an Orangery to Woodfold Hall for renowned cotton magnate and industrialist Henry Sudell, this remarkable home occupies a private, gated plot extending to over two acres within one of the region’s most prestigious country estates. Few homes offer such architectural distinction. Designed by James Wyatt, the property is defined by its elegant stone elevations, soaring ceilings, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, all enhanced with electric blinds. At its heart lies a beautifully executed curved design, creating a seamless sense of flow and an abundance of natural light that moves effortlessly through the space, lending both grandeur and warmth in equal measure. The ground floor, complete with underfloor heating, opens via a vestibule into a striking curved reception hall, where a travertine tiled floor and sweeping staircase immediately set the tone. The principal living room is both impressive and inviting, centred around a gas fire and framed by two magnificent full-height windows alongside French doors that open directly onto the gardens beyond. A separate sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, while a versatile study or games room sits quietly to one side of the home. To the opposite end, the dining kitchen is both generous and beautifully appointed, featuring a SieMatic range of units, integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave, wine cooler, and stone work surfaces. Bathed in natural light from three elevations, this is a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, with a continuation of the travertine flooring enhancing cohesion throughout.

Expanses of manicured lawn are interwoven with winding stone pathways and terraces, inviting exploration at every turn. Deeply planted borders brim with established trees, shrubs, and seasonal colour, while pockets of woodland lend a natural, almost parkland quality to the setting. A magnificent monkey puzzle tree, believed to be among the oldest of its kind in the country, stands proudly within the grounds and is a rare and sculptural focal point that frames views from the principal reception spaces and anchors the landscape with quiet grandeur. Nearby, a large pond provides a tranquil focal point, perfect for moments of reflection or simply enjoying the stillness of the surroundings.

Porch The entrance begins with a welcoming porch, finished with attractive tiled flooring and offering a calm arrival into the house. It creates a natural pause before stepping through into the main hallway. Entrance Hall The hallway is one of the defining features of the home. Original panelled walls, a beautiful staircase and a wonderful sense of proportion set the tone immediately.

A handsome stone fireplace, picture rails and retained period detailing make this a refined yet comfortable room for everyday living and entertaining. Sitting Room A second generous reception room sits to the front of the house, offering a slightly more intimate setting. The impressive leaded bay window, original side windows, decorative ceiling and tiled-inset fireplace all add to the charm. It is a room that could work beautifully as a formal sitting room, music room or evening lounge. Study The study is a lovely, quieter space with a leaded box window to the side. It would make an excellent home office, library or reading room, positioned away from the main living areas while still feeling very much connected to the house. Inner Hallway The inner hallway is practical and well planned, with built-in storage that supports the day-to-day running of the home without interrupting the period feel of the main entrance spaces.

It is a calm and generous room with lovely period detailing, including picture rails and leaded windows. A concealed walk-in wardrobe adds a sense of luxury and practicality, while the en-suite shower room completes the suite. Principal En-suite The en-suite is stylishly appointed with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. Fully tiled walls, a heated towel rail and a front leaded window give the room a clean, polished finish while remaining in keeping with the quality of the house. Bedroom Two The second bedroom is another excellent double room, positioned to the front of the property. Lead-effect glazing, side leaded windows, fitted wardrobes and period detailing make this a particularly attractive guest or family bedroom. Bedroom Three Bedroom three is a well-proportioned double bedroom overlooking the rear. It offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room or additional working space, depending on the needs of the next owner. Bedroom Four The fourth bedroom is also a comfortable double, with a side-facing window and a pleasant sense of light.

It offers a way of life.

Thoughtfully designed and meticulously constructed over a five year period (2012– 2017); a truly exceptional new-build home, designed in the style of a traditional farmhouse and crafted using authentic, natural materials throughout. Every element of this beautiful property has been considered with care and executed to the highest standards, resulting in a home that balances timeless character with the ease and comfort of modern living. The accommodation briefly comprises a reception hall, boot room, cloakroom and plant room. Fabulous open plan living kitchen with utility room and pantry, separate sitting room, office, four ensuite bedrooms, fifth bedroom, shower room and large walk-in wardrobe. Lifestyle assets include a large games room including a second kitchen that’s designed for entertaining, a gym with adjacent shower room, media room, pool room, hobbies room, tennis court, large bbq hut and detached workshop. Landscaped gardens, extensive parking and an integral double garage. This is genuinely a high quality property for those that value time spent at home with family and would relish the opportunity to entertain at home in style. Vendor Insight It’s a great house for a family. There’s room for everyone to spread out but still be under one roof. We included a lot of attributes to keep everyone occupied and entertained, whether it’s just the family or when we’ve friends round. We’ve had pool tournaments and tennis parties, the media room is great for movie nights. The televisions are all purposefully away from the central living area so that they don’t dominate how we spend our time. Location Central to the community, the Lancashire village of Catforth has a school and hall which hosts a variety of classes, social events and drop in coffee mornings. For everyday essentials, there are local shops at Great Eccleston and Elswick. Whilst all different, the cities of Preston, Lancaster, Manchester and Liverpool between them offer a full range of commercial and recreational facilities including a vast choice of restaurants and great shopping. Culturally, there is a choice of theatres, cinemas and established arts and music scenes with festivals and events throughout the year. If you prefer somewhere smaller then the attractive towns of Garstang and Lytham are also convenient with supermarkets, thriving independent shops and a variety of places to enjoy a drink or bite to eat. The best of both worlds, rural but not remote, there’s nearby access to the M55 and M6 as well as a train station on the West Coast Main line at Preston ensuring that whether you need to travel for business or pleasure you remain well connected. If accessing the great outdoors is important to you then the protected National Landscape (formerly the AONB) of the Forest of Bowland offers many opportunities for outdoor adventure with an extensive network of lanes, footpaths and bridle paths for walking, running and cycling. There’s also good access to the Fylde coast’s exceptionally varied coastline; everything from wide sandy beaches, saltmarshes and nature reserves to bright lights of Blackpool; the tower, pleasure beach, piers and zoo amongst the many famous attractions. Vendor Insight The location is quiet as few people have the need to pass by, set behind the hedges, we have great privacy which we have valued and enjoyed enormously. Whilst rural, we never feel disconnected. With the new M55 links we are on the motorway in a matter of minutes, soon on the M6 and quickly into Preston. We’ve had to travel for work, often by train. Preston station is easy to reach and from there the journey time to London is just over two hours. Setting the scene Immediately the quality of bespoke craftsmanship is unmistakable. The aesthetic is one of contemporary country living; comfortable, quietly understated luxury, family friendly sociable spaces where quality of life is paramount. The specification features extensive use of oak throughout the house, including made-to-measure paneled doors, elegant custom-made staircases, double glazed window frames and French doors, Ted Todd engineered oak flooring, deep skirting boards with complementary architraves and window cills and exposed beams and roof trusses. The flooring and surfaces are finished with a variety of carefully selected natural stone tiles, echoing the surrounding rural landscape. The main kitchen is classically styled with timeless hand-painted cabinets from Simpsons of Greenfield Mill, Colne and the sanitaryware is high quality Duravit with Hansgrohe shower fittings. Although new build, certain elements of construction such as the flags and bricks were repurposed from heritage properties to give an appearance older than its years. The grand tour At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan living kitchen, where light floods in from all angles thanks to extensive floor to ceiling glazing. Beautifully appointed with handcrafted cabinets including a working island unit, breakfast bar and a concealed breakfast station and bar along with high specification appliances, this is a space made for modern family life - equally suited to quiet mornings, lively family meals or entertaining guests. Cook, dine and relax in comfort, with four sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden, the lines between inside and out become blurred. Double oak doors lead into a separate sitting room with a Contura wood-burning stove - a warm and inviting retreat, which can be opened to extend the living space or closed off for cosy evenings. Designed with both family life and working from home in mind, the house offers five bedrooms, four of which are located on the first floor, all having luxurious ensuites and two with walk-in wardrobes. Conveniently located on the ground floor is the fifth bedroom and a dedicated home office with oak fitted furniture, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or professional use. This is a home built not just for everyday living, but for truly enjoying time spent at home. The amenity provision is superb, the highlight being an impressive games room with its own kitchen, space to dine and soft seating gathered around the wood burner and large screen - a wonderful space for a get together. The basement floor offers something for everyone; a media room for watching a film or big match, a pool room with drinks station, gym, shower room, large walk-in wardrobe and a second home office or hobbies room. Smart home technology adds a layer of modern convenience and control, seamlessly integrated to enhance daily living. The plethora of storage provision is also a great asset, from boot room to pantry, linen store to walk in wardrobes, there’s plenty of space for all of life’s needs. The interior is strongly connected with the gardens, multiple sets of French doors and wide expanses of floor to ceiling glazing provide both an idyllic outlook and immediate access to the beautifully landscaped surrounds. Spacious, light-filled and filled with a stylish modern rustic aesthetic, Moss Cottage Farm is a truly rare find; a home that combines the warmth and the solidity of traditional rural architecture with every comfort and convenience for modern family life and entertaining at home. Vendor Insight The games room was designed to have the option to be an independent self-contained annex. There’s a separate access to the back parking area, a shower room and kitchen; we’d thought the living area could be subdivided to create a bedroom and had envisaged the space possibly for parents, bounce back teenagers or as a guest suite set apart from the family bedrooms. Step outside Outside, there are further options for year round entertainment and activity with a full size hardcourt tennis court (resurfaced in 2020), a hot tub and tucked behind a high hedge a barbecue hut. Inspired by the Scandinavian ‘grillkota’, this circular hut has inward-facing fitted bench seating around a central hearth, as well as an extension for freestanding furniture or sleepovers. It’s a warm and welcoming way of gathering, cooking dinner and enjoying together time around the fire. Flagged seating terraces wrap around the house and provide various opportunities for outdoor relaxation. Outside the games room is a large stone topped table ready for your own chairs or handy as a serving table. The terraces are of varying orientation being designed to catch the sun at different times of the day, creating spots for breakfast and morning coffee, long leisurely lunches and evening gatherings. The terracing provides the link between home and garden, all enjoying wonderful privacy. Clad in Virgina Creeper, a large wooden outbuilding has double doors, power and light. It is ideal as a workshop, a store for garden equipment, ride on mower or perhaps a smaller vehicle as there is narrow vehicular access via a grassed drive lined with willow trees. For those that take pleasure in growing their own vegetables there are two large, raised beds ready for planting. Through front and back secure gated entrances there is extensive parking available. The double garage has a fitted New Age steel workbench and integrated storage.
