A spacious office provides a versatile area that could serve as an additional reception room.

The lounge also features fitted cupboards, shelving, and a Stovax wood burner with a slate and chrome surround, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.

The kitchen also includes a substantial island with an induction hob and pop-up extractor, an electric AGA, Sub Zero fridge and freezer, and a wine cooler, making it an ideal space for entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room with built-in storage, granite countertops, and an additional AGA, with convenient access to a boot room and secondary utility area.

The elegant oak staircase leads to a magnificent galleried landing with inset mirrors, exuding grandeur. Off the landing is an open library with fitted bookcases, windows overlooking the garden, and access to a private balcony extending over 62 feet in width and offering outstanding views across the Ribble Valley. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring air conditioning, dual-aspect windows, balcony access, and a walk-in dressing room with bespoke oak shelving and hanging space.

The expansive front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by raised beds, while stone pathways lead to the rear garden, where manicured lawns, box hedge shrubs, and a large stone-flagged patio provide a perfect space for outdoor relaxation.
