Forty Acre Lane, Thornley With Wheatley, Lancashire, PR3

Hill Top Farm, an outstanding farmhouse and annex/ holiday cottage, offers an exceptional living experience boasting panoramic views over the Forest of Bowland (ANOB) in the picturesque Ribble Valley. Positioned centrally on over 16.5 acres of carefully kept land and gardens it provides a serene and private lifestyle.

Originally bought as a dilapidated farmhouse in 2012, surrounded by neglected land and a crumbling stone shippon, this property was demolished by the current owner and a bespoke new build home took its place.

Being on the edge of The Forest of Bowland (Area of Natural Beauty) the breathtaking views served as the cornerstone of the interior design and room layout. To capture the sensational vistas, large panoramic windows, floor to ceiling glazing, oversized sliding patio doors, and strategically positioned internal full height, glass doors were thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home.

With no window coverings required, these features frame the sweeping landscapes, offering uninterrupted views of the Fylde coast, Beacon Fell, Parlick & Bleasdale Fells, creating an unspoiled connection between the indoors and the natural beauty that surrounds the property.

Reclaiming and incorporating some of the original stone and slate, alongside the use of only the finest and energy efficient materials, has resulted in a masterfully designed and newly constructed rural home. The vision was to recreate the charm of a traditional rural Lancashire farmhouse and barn conversion, accompanied by a stone holiday cottage, and this has been achieved with remarkable success.
