House For Sale £795,000
This lovely family home may be the finest address in Whalley - off the beaten track at the end of this very popular lane and set in a very generous, well-kept garden, yet only a five-minute walk from the centre of the village. With four bedrooms and spacious living area, it will be of great interest to many sectors of the market - from young families to retiring couples. Lawsonsteads Barn is an ancient farm building featuring stone pieces believed to originate from Whalley's Cistercian Abbey. The property is steeped in history, charm and character and early viewing is highly advised to appreciate this beautiful home in one of the Ribble Valley's most sought after locations.
There is a stone cobbled approach under a handcrafted oak canopy affording protection to the front door. Wide and welcoming the stone flagged reception hall provides access to the main living areas. There is a two piece cloakroom and a staircase rising to the first floor. The large rear lounge stretches the full length of the barn and provides the ideal level of space for family living and entertaining. A particular feature of this character room is the part vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers. The room's focal point is a robust chimney piece in exposed stone with wall to wall Yorkstone flag hearth.
The kitchen with feature central island features bespoke base and eye level units with complementary worktops. The island and counter tops are in corian which incorporate under-counter sink and drainer. There is a range of quality appliances including an electric oven and combination oven/microwave, six-burner gas hob which incorporates an extractor, integrated fridge/freezer and an integrated dishwasher. Off the kitchen is the utility room with plenty of space for coats and footwear, plumbed for washer and dryer and base level units with countertop and sink.
The kitchen opens up, through a stone arch to the breakfast room/snug, currently used as an office space and features exposed wooden beams and flagged flooring through, leading back through to the main entrance hall.
To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all highly individual and inviting, each with vaulted ceilings. The property was originally designed for four bedrooms and could be quite easily converted back if you so wish. The master bedroom is positioned between two stout trusses and enjoys a partial view of the Nab. It has a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite bathroom consisting of a tiled, sunken bath with overhead shower, dual flush wc, tiled walls and wash basin with below vanity unit. Similarly luxurious the house bathroom mirrors the en-suite in terms of position and amenities providing use for bedrooms two and three.
Outside, part screened by a yew hedge and fencing, the tarmacadam courtyard to the front provides off-road parking for four to five cars. In addition there is a double stone faced garage with one electric up and over door, one manual up and over door and side access. The rear garden is a genuine delight to behold. The stone flagged patio, a perfect setting to enjoy those alfresco occasions, looking onto a beautiful series of cascading terraces and flowerbeds, utilising local stone and created with an eye for detail! Beyond the pristine gardens and seating areas is a large lawned garden, perfect for children's sport or even a tennis court.
