Property description

If one is of an equestrian pedigree and searching for a home to accommodate their love of all things equine, then this stunning barn conversion offers an exciting opportunity indeed, not only being nestled within a superb plot of circa three acres, but also boasting a ménage and seven stables. Exuding charm and style in abundance, this beautiful home has been a real labour of love, its thoughtful design providing a perfect lesson in how to blend character and contemporary flair. From what was once a building designed for function over aesthetics, a supremely elegant home has been created, offering all the modern appointments required of a property in the 21st century, whilst retaining the rustic accents which provide that desired originality and panache.

This unique home is nestled in a quite stunning position at the heart of the West Lancashire Countryside within the rural village of Scarisbrick, famed for its strong agricultural traditions and picturesque scenery, which has cemented its standing as one of the most admired and desirable areas in the district. Despite its rural credentials, the property is far from remote with excellent transport links via rail and road, ensuring major towns and cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Southport are within easy reach, as well as the historic town of Ormskirk, with its traditional market and pleasing blend of high street stores and boutique shops, eclectic bars and eateries. 

The property takes full advantage of its beautiful setting, boasting stunning views over the surrounding countryside, giving a real sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst the living spaces are as plentiful as the outside, extending in its entirety to in excess of 3,530 square feet, and brimming with characterful highlights, such as vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork, as well as traditional latch doors, which creates a real feeling of heritage and history, and gives this beautiful home a personality all of its own. 

One enters via the delightful entrance hallway with its useful two piece cloakroom/WC and immediately senses the warm and inviting ambiance, the full height window bathing the space in natural light, whilst the spindled staircase draws the eye up to the beautiful galleried landing. Double doors lead through into the 15’ living room, which really captures the essence of the original building with its rustic exposed walls, whilst there is direct access to the rear. At 20’ in length, the adjoining main lounge is grandly scaled and boasts a gorgeous traditional feature fireplace with an Oak surround and inset coal-effect living flame gas fire, which infuses a cosy atmosphere, whilst the 12’ study is ideal for those who require some space to work from home, or perhaps this could be used as a playroom for the younger members of the family. The 13’ dining room provides an ideal space for those family dinners or an entertaining space when one has friends over for dinner, being conveniently located directly off the 15’ kitchen, which has an authentic country-style feel as well as being a real hub of the home, being fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units in Oak with complimentary granite work surfaces, and equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including Rangemaster-style cooker, extractor canopy and dishwasher. If one ventures up to the first floor, the sizeable galleried landing provides access to the four double bedrooms, including the fabulous master suite, which boasts a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and a sumptuous four piece en-suite bathroom, as well as the main family bathroom, which is fitted with a four piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin, panelled bath and separate shower cubicle. 

Externally, the property is approached via electrically operated wrought-iron gates with security intercom, which gives access to the lengthy driveway, providing off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles, as well as access to the detached single garage. The formal gardens envelope the property, being mainly laid to lawn with mature planted borders. We would highly recommend an internal inspection of this exceptional character home.
