Holmefield Avenue, Thornton-cleveleys, FY5 2QT

Holmfield Avenue is arguably one of the most sought-after and prestige roads in the Thornton-Cleveleys area. A peaceful and welcoming street surrounded by woodland, wild-life and a tight-knit community which have all contributed toward making this spot an increasingly desirable place to live over the years. The properties on Holmfield Avenue are all individually designed and architecturally unique, with no two homes the same. One such property is 'Rannock', one of the original homes to be built on the street but a home that has since been modified, refurbished and extended to deliver uncompromisingly high standards and the very best of modern-day family living. 

Rannock is an executive detached property that sits behind a gated entrance, delivering both privacy and security. The driveway at the front of the home follows a horse-shoe configuration and is large enough to accommodate off-road parking for multiple vehicles. In addition the property has a detached garage with an 'upper floor', which is ideal for additional parking, a workshop or future conversion. 

From the landscaped gardens and external modifications to the building of new structures and an extensive cosmetic overhaul; this home is a real testimony to the current homeowners who have developed this property with a keen eye for detail. The fruits of their labour is evident throughout the home, but arguably is nowhere more evident than in the impressive family space to the rear elevation. When you enter the property, a fresh and spacious hallway makes for a fantastic first impression but the open flow of the property's 1,700 square foot ground floor space gives you a peak into the recent extension (now the family kitchen) encouraging you to explore further... 

When reconfiguring and extending the home, the current owners were keen to create a space that was capable of effortlessly connecting everybody in the house. In our opinion, that's exactly what they have achieved. The expansive kitchen is practical, functional and visually stunning. The worksurfaces that surround the space house best-in-class mod-cons (including an integral oven, grill, microwave, warming draw and dishwasher) whilst the enormous chefs island that sits central in the space offers additional storage, a great spot for informal dining and of course, a stunning focal point in the space. The kitchen connects to what the current owners have staged as a formal dining area, and this whole section of the home sits under an enormous lantern which brings plenty of sunshine into the house through the day, but a great spot for star gazing in to the night. Double bi-folding doors create a seamless connection between the property and it's surroundings - so you need not worry about what the children are up to as you enjoy an often much needed coffee! Every inch of square footage has been put to intelligent use, with integrated storage solutions occupying the back wall of yet another extension at the Rannock, which faces a utility space, beyond which a downstairs WC can be found. 

Excluding the family room this property has four additional reception rooms. The principle family lounge faces the front elevation of the home and is warmed by an open flame by a custom-made entertainment wall making for a great atmosphere when relaxing with the family. On the opposite side of the entrance hallway (also facing the front aspect of the property) is a secondary lounge. A built-in fireplace with customisable colour-control helps you set the mood when it's time to kick back with your favourite movie or Netflix series. This smaller lounge (or snug) provides a more intimate area to relax, and connects to the third reception room (currently being used as a home office). For those with elder relatives or occasional guests, this space could be feasibly be used as a ground floor bedroom if so desired. The final reception room (currently being used as a playroom) is a substantial size with an external access point. Originally, this was going to be converted into a home gym complete with built in sauna and spa access. With such a great ground-floor footprint the use of space really is limited only by your own imagination. 

Upstairs, Rannock offers four double bedrooms. The master bedroom faces the front elevation of the property and comes complete with a built-in wardrobe. This stylish room is served by a private ensuite facility complete with walk-in shower, vanity unit, separate bath and WC. Bedroom two also faces the front elevation of the home and is plenty big enough to hold a king-size bed and movable storage. An additional two bedrooms (one of which benefits from a private en-suite with walk in shower) face the rear elevation of the home along with the principle family bathroom. 

The rear gardens at Rannock are landscaped and incredibly family-friendly. A large lawn is plenty big enough for sports, racing and water fights during those long summer evenings. The patio area provides a great spot for socialising, dining al-fresco, entertaining and supervising BBQ's but you will be delighted to learn that the home also comes inclusive of a built in sports-pool! If you're feeling active, you can get a great workout on in this space but if you're looking to relax with your favourite tipple it can just as easily be used as a home-spa.
