Property description
Echoed internally, with rustic accents such as exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and stained glass windows. Despite the overwhelming sense of tradition and heritage, this is a home well suited to the needs of the 21st century, with modern appointments sympathetically blended, uniting the old and the new seamlessly, whilst the generously proportioned layout flows perfectly, measuring in excess of 2,460 square feet and culminating in a simply fabulous open plan kitchen/dining room/family room, which is just perfect for modern day family living.
The property is located within the beautiful parish of Wrightington, an area as renowned for its blend of prestige, country homes, as its picturesque West Lancashire countryside. Yet despite its country credentials, the property is far from remote, with excellent access to the M6 motorway, ensuring the commuter can enjoy ease of travel throughout the North-West and then retire to their rural retreat after a stressful day in the office, perhaps partaking in a relaxing walk with the dogs over the adjoining countryside. One enters the property via the simply stunning double-height reception hallway with its spindled staircase to the first floor and convenient guest cloakroom/WC, and one immediately realises that this property is something very special indeed, the exposed stone walls infusing a real sense of theatre and grandeur on a truly impressive scale. The solid wood flooring extends through into the fabulous 28’ open plan kitchen/dining room/family room, a simply marvellous space which is just perfect for modern living, large enough to accommodate the kitchen, as well as a separate dining and seating area, creating a real hub of the home which is bathed in natural light via the plethora of windows, and an ideal entertaining space for those impromptu gatherings or intimate dinner parties, throwing open the French doors and stepping out onto the patio for an after-dinner cocktail or two in those long Summer evenings.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of country-style wall and base units in white, with complimentary solid wood work surfaces and including a Belfast sink and central island unit with built-in breakfast bar, as well as a host of integrated appliances, including high level double electric oven, gas hob with extractor canopy, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst there is also a handy separate utility room. The 18’ formal lounge is located next door and boasts windows to three elevations, making for an exceedingly bright space, with delightful character features such as exposed stonework, a beamed ceiling and an exquisite feature stained glass window, whilst the adjoining cosy snug with its gorgeous feature fireplace enjoys a real cottagey feel, conjuring images of cold Winter nights huddled around a roaring fire.
If one can tear themselves away from this image and venture up to the first floor, the spacious landing will reveal the four double bedrooms, all of which are beautifully presented and full of character, with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside, whilst the superb 20’ master bedroom suite boasts a private three piece en-suite shower room. The remainder of the family, however, are well catered for, with the main family bathroom, which completes the accommodation, and is fitted with a contemporary three piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead shower.
Externally, the property sits in a wonderfully private plot of circa one acre, with expansive lawned areas and a sweeping driveway which provides ample off-road parking facilities, whilst secure garage facilities are available for four vehicles and, usefully, this can be accessed from both the front and the rear of the property. Viewing of this beautiful home is essential to appreciate the size and character of the accommodation, and we would highly recommend an early appointment to avoid disappointment.
