Property description
Offered with no chain. Nestled amid glorious West Lancashire countryside in this idyllic spot, is this quite breathtaking barn conversion, an English classic which presents a remarkable and rare assemblage of old world elegance and refined modern day family living. The timeless appeal of the property is highlighted by spacious and sun filled interiors, with formal and informal reception rooms, a beautiful breakfast kitchen, four double bedrooms and four bathrooms. Built in 1850 and converted in 1990 with further additions in 2003, ‘The Hawthorns’ is a truly unique property which successfully combines rustic living with modern design, offering character and charm in abundance. Situated in the rural parish village of ‘Halsall’, this picture perfect home is surrounded by outstanding views and rests on approximately one and a half acres of land.
Accommodation is arranged over two inviting levels and includes just over 2300 square feet of immaculately presented living space. Brief highlights comprise entrance hallway, lounge, sitting room, family room, dining room, breakfast kitchen, utility room, downstairs shower room, and on the first floor, four bedrooms and three en-suites. The arrangement of living space is such that bedroom four has its own staircase and access - and is just perfect as separate accommodation for use as a granny annex, being accessed from the second lounge (which could also form part of the annex) and being handy for the downstairs shower room - also perfect as a teenagers pad or indeed arranged as it is at present, as an office space from which to work at home. Special mention should be given to the stunning farmhouse style kitchen with its impressive vaulted and beamed ceiling and its comprehensive array of quality fitted units with ample workspace, centre island, breakfast bar and double doors through to the dining room - fantastic family space and just perfect for entertaining!
Externally, the far reaching views of beautiful Lancashire countryside envelop the senses from all directions and to the front of the home the Hawthorn bushes that line its borders add to the property’s obvious aesthetic appeal. The tranquil rear gardens are a delight with well-kept landscaped lawns and lovely patios that lend themselves perfectly to outdoor entertaining with a decked area, mature borders and those lovely open views. Also amongst the one and a half acres is an orchard, woodland, garden pond and access to a detached 25’ x 19’ garage and storeroom.
Despite its rural location, Halsall village is nearby and there is easy access to the historic market town of Ormskirk, which is just a short five minute drive away. The popular seaside resort of Southport is also on hand (approximately 7 miles away) and within the immediate vicinity you will find a number of village pubs including the popular ‘Saracens Head’ country pub and restaurant which is nestled alongside the Leeds Liverpool canal. The area itself has strong farming traditions and the surrounding countryside is dotted with attractive rural properties. Excellent schools at every level are nearby and for the commuter the location is extremely accessible with only a short drive to the M58 motorway with Liverpool and Manchester city centres both within easy reach.
