For Sale9 Bedroom Detached House in Longridge Road, Hurst Green£2,995,000

Shireburn Barn Farm is an exceptional Ribble Valley residence, comprehensively transformed in recent years to create not merely a house, but a home of rare distinction, character and craftsmanship. Set against a backdrop of rolling countryside and far-reaching views, this remarkable estate combines the gravitas of a landmark home with the warmth and liveability of a beautifully considered family residence. In addition to the principal barn, the property enjoys a self-contained guest suite and an impressive detached annexe, each finished to an exacting standard and offering outstanding flexibility. The main house opens into a striking entrance hall where double doors frame the barn-arch frontage, immediately setting a tone of architectural drama. Walnut flooring with underfloor heating (under floor heating extends across much of the ground floor) is complemented by vaulted ceilings and a refined cloakroom. At the heart of the home lies an extraordinary family breakfast kitchen by Simpsons, exquisitely appointed with bespoke cabinetry, display units and an exceptional range of premium appliances including Miele cooking equipment, twin Liebherr wine and beer fridges, and dual Fisher & Paykel dishwashers. Quartz work surfaces, a Kohler double sink, integrated coffee preparation station with sink and hot tap, and two substantial island units, one for preparation, the other forming a generous breakfast bar combine to create a space as functional as it is impressive. A large roof lantern floods the room with natural light, while a fully glazed corner with sliding doors opens seamlessly onto the gardens. A walk-in pantry and elegant hide-and-slide doors lead through to a formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, from which double doors open into the living room, a beautifully proportioned space with vaulted ceiling, feature gas fire and windows to three elevations. The first floor offers four double bedrooms arranged from the landing together with a discreet laundry area. The principal suite is a statement in luxury, approached through a bespoke dressing area with extensive fitted furniture, central island and window seat overlooking the rear. A contemporary en-suite completes the suite, featuring a walk-in shower with Grohe fittings, recessed shelving, seating and refined finishes throughout. Two further bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, one enjoying its own 3pc en-suite shower room, while the 4pc family bathroom is finished to an indulgent standard with Jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower and coordinated tiling. Complementing the main house is a beautifully appointed guest suite located on the ground floor, offering both internal access and its own private entrance. Finished with slate flooring, utility facilities and a stylish shower room, the suite includes a versatile living and sleeping area with a limestone-surround gas fire and bespoke storage. A well-equipped breakfast kitchen with corner turret-style glazed seating area and French doors provides independence without compromise. The detached annexe is a residence of real substance in its own right. Entered via a stable door, it opens into a modern kitchen fitted with Bosch appliances and an island unit, flowing naturally into a living room warmed by a corner wood-burning stove and framed by sliding doors that reveal the exceptional surrounding views. Two generous ground-floor bedrooms are served by a 4pc bathroom, while the first floor offers two further double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en-suite shower room, alongside a combined laundry and WC. The grounds are as impressive as the accommodation. To the front, manicured lawns and stone pathways sit behind a low stone wall, while a substantial resin-bound driveway provides parking for approximately six vehicles. The rear gardens are expansive and beautifully arranged, with porcelain patios, electric awning, sunken seating areas and broad lawns extending across the estate. A composite decked terrace fronts the annexe, perfectly positioned to take in the panoramic views. A sweeping driveway leads to a detached garage with workshop, twin electric doors and ancillary office space with WC, ideal for home working. Additional land lies beyond the formal gardens, further enhancing the sense of scale, while the views are open, elevated and utterly captivating. Viewing is strictly by appointment, with prospective purchasers respectfully requested to provide proof of funds prior to inspection. Freehold I Council Tax Band: G I EPC: F
