Four Acre Lane, Thornley, Preston, Lancashire

*VIEWS VIEWS VIEWS* In an elevated position this gorgeous barn conversion offers fabulous views! A lovely home offering super accommodation including spacious dining/kitchen and separate lounge to the ground floor, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor whilst to the lower floor is a further bedroom or additional reception room, study, shower room along with a utility room.

Positioned in beautiful gardens it has attractive stone outbuildings used as garaging and storage but which make a great addition to the property with plenty of alternate use. There is plenty of parking to the side of the property.
The property is set within a hamlet of 3 similar properties and has fantastic views which cascade across the countryside. A side entry is through the lower floor yet a more formal entrance is through the glazed door positioned in the picture window at the front of the property revealing a staircase and galleried landing from which to enjoy the views out to Parlick and beyond.

The front door opens into the tiled entrance hall which has double-glazed doors into the lounge and the staircase which rises up to the first floor and separately into the kitchen space. This is a lovely point of the house and enjoys those fantastic views out. An exposed stone wall, vaulted ceilings and the galleried landing are in character with this barn conversion.

The lounge is a welcoming room which has a wood burning stove set within a chimney breast of exposed stone. There are also beams in this room giving a real character feel. A further glazed door is off to the rear gardens. The kitchen-diner is a bright and airy space sharing those panoramic views at the front, and includes a range of wall and base mounted kitchen units in a shaker style with a quartz work surface and a contrasting central island with breakfast bar. There is a Range cooker with an extractor over along with an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler and a filtered water tap. The kitchen opens into a dining area with plenty of space for a large table, room for more casual seating and is clearly the true hub of this family home.

A staircase drops down to the lower floor where the utility, cloak and boot room is found which has a range of units and includes a point for a washing machine and dryer. Also to the lower floor there is a bright reception room currently used as a bedroom but could equally suit additional family space requirements. There is a study to the front of the property and a separate shower room.

From the ground floor the staircase rises past the picture window up to the galleried landing on the first floor. The first floor has 3 further bedrooms, the principal bedroom has windows out to two elevations and includes a range of fitted wardrobes, a shower en-suite is provided to the principal bedroom suite. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom includes a double ended bath, WC and wash hand basin. From the landing a hatch opens to a full length, fully boarded attic with velux windows perfect for storage or for development subject to the necessary permissions.

Turning off Birks Brow is a right of access along the private road which leads up to the small hamlet and to the property for sale. There is parking at the side of the property and you pull up to the parking past the stone-built stable/outbuildings which are used as storage/garaging and provide potential alternative use subject to gaining any necessary consents.

There are lawned and bedded gardens and a range of mature trees surrounding the plot. To the front of the property there is a lovely hardscaped seating area planted with bright perennials giving a great vantage point from which to enjoy the superb views across towards the Bowland Fells and Parlick, particularly on a summer evening. Further seating areas can be found to the side and rear of the property to enjoy views and birdsong at all times of day.

It is just a short drive to Chipping and Longridge where there is a range of amenities to include shops, primary and secondary schools, places of worship, pubs and restaurants. There is good access into the rest of the Ribble Valley and good links to the main roads and motorway network from Longridge.
