Hawthorn Close, Whalley, Ribble Valley

This immaculately refurbished six-bedroom detached house is one of the largest on the development, situated on a sought-after cul-de-sac with a large south-east-facing plot which attracts the sun in the garden throughout the afternoon and evening. This substantial house has been comprehensively renovated by its current owners, who have paid great attention to stylistic detail throughout. The property boats a large, show home-standard open-plan kitchen / diner, as well as a bespoke fitted boot room, large lounge, utility area, home gymnasium, recently fitted en suite and house bathroom, home office and five well proportioned bathrooms. Externally, the property features multiple stone patio areas, sheltered hot tub and bar area and cast concrete outdoor seating; the current owners have truly made the most of this wonderful plot.

Internally, you are greeted by a large airy entrance hall; this provides open access into the bespoke boot room, with its large range of floor-to-ceiling storage and bench seating. Across the hall is a most stylish downstairs WC with half-tiled walls, steel frame and stone bowl hand basin, brass style heated towel rail and wall mounted, dual-flush WC. The entrance hall allows access into the main lounge and kitchen / diner both via French timber doors, as well as the grand bifurcated staircase to the first floor. The main lounge is nicely nestled away and features hard-wood flooring, French doors onto the rear patio, inset gas fireplace with stone surround and decorative coving.

The kitchen / diner is a true showstopper and must be viewed to appreciate this imposing, modern space with all the comforts and appliances that one needs - and much more! Previously two rooms, this space has been opened up with vaulted ceilings to create a palatial feel. There is ample space for the dining table and fitted bench seating around, as well as a great sized kitchen area with substantial central island and bar seating. The kitchen has a vast array of Neff appliances, including double oven and plate warming drawer, inset coffee machine and induction hob with central set extractor. Furthermore, it boasts a full-length integrated fridge and freezer, separate wine fridge, pantry cupboards, instant hot water tap and integrated wireless phone chargers within the counter tops.

From the kitchen, stylish saloon doors lead to the galley utility area. This accommodates a further integrated fridge / freezer, plumbing for washer / dryer, external side door, large storage cupboard and through door to a good sized storage room which, in turn, leads through to the home gym which had previously been the garage.

On the first floor, there is a split-level mezzanine landing area with access into the five bedrooms, a home office, large airing cupboard, two en suites and the house bathroom. Apart from the home office / bedroom six, all bedrooms host fitted wardrobe space and can comfortably accommodate a double bed. The master bedroom boasts a beautifully designed, recently fitted en suite shower room with tiled walls and floors, rainfall mains shower, pedestal wash basin with below vanity unit and dual flush WC. The spectacular house bathroom boasts all of the above, with the addition of a panelled bath. The upstairs space is very versatile, with some bedrooms being used as lounge areas and bedroom six creating a perfect home office.

Externally and to the front of the property, there is a large double driveway with parking for multiple cars, an electric vehicle charging point and gated side access to the rear. The rear garden opens up a fantastic space for entertaining with multiple stone patio areas and an artificial turfed garden area with sunken trampoline. There is a fantastic fitted, aluminium gazebo shelter with hot tub and timber bar area - perfect for sunny social events.
