Odd Lane, Bretherton, PR26 9BF

Set in a stunning, rural location surrounded by open pastoral aspects and
positioned within enclosed landscaped grounds of approximately 1.3
acres, Odd House offers immaculately presented, contemporary
accommodation to an exacting specification and design. Set over three
floors, the rooms include a generously spacious principal lounge with log
burning stove, a central feature glass-balustrade staircase rising to the
first-floor landing and descending to the basement rooms, a superb and
well-appointed living-dining-kitchen forming the family hub, master
bedroom with an eye-catching window taking in the far-reaching aspects
and having a dressing room and luxurious en suite, two further first floor
double bedrooms both having their own contemporary en suite facilities,
basement entertainment suite with shower room and a further bedroom
suite/home office.
Sheltered by a sandstone open portico, the sturdy, solid oak double doors
with glazed side panels open into an attractive vestibule with tiled
flooring and a walk-in cloaks cupboard to the side. The impressive, open
plan living-dining room is estranged by an architecturally stunning glass
and brushed steel balustrade staircase which both rises and descends to
further immaculately presented and meticulously designed
accommodation.

The generously spacious lounge has two King Truss beams to the vaulted
ceiling and a full height apex window plus panelled side windows
allowing natural light to dominate this space whilst the Lutron lighting
system takes over at evening time. A full-height slate-faced fireplace
with ingle-set log burning stove forms the focal point of the room and the
oak flooring with under-floor heating - and trapdoor to the wine cellar –
offers an elegant finish and continues into the dining area and inner
hallway. The comfortably convivial dining area has a pendant light
suspended over the table space and a panelled window to the front.

The broad inner hall has sliding glass doors to the balcony and a door to
the cloakroom with monochrome décor beyond the two-piece black
contemporary suite, lit by pendant and wall lighting.
With floor-to-ceiling panel windows to the rear, sliding patio doors to the
garden and three windows to the driveway, the remarkable living-diningkitchen has a light and airy feel, with underfloor heating to the limestone
tiled floor and, at twilight, is lit by recessed downlighting, wall lights and
pendant lights suspended over the table space and island. The ivoryshaded and oak Culshaw Bell kitchen displays the usual excellence in
cabinetry and design and incorporates a larder, soft closing doubledrawers and a shaped island unit with optional dining table attachment.
The honed black granite worktops have an inset porcelain twin-bowl sink
unit with mixer and Quooker tap over. The island has a further circular
rinsing sink with swan-neck mixer tap over and also an inset Siemens
induction hob with Best down-draft extractor fan. Close by is an eyelevel range of Siemens integrated appliances to include two ovens,
steamer, microwave oven, two warming drawers and a full height fridge
and freezer.

The adjacent utility room has cream-coloured gloss cabinets with oak
worktops, slate effect splash tiling and an inset stainless steel sink unit.
The good-sized area has fluorescent lighting, under-counter plumbing for
a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A door gives way to
the boot room which features some of the stone flags from the original
Odd House, laid to flooring and highlighted by the full-height apex side
window. There is also a coat rack and a secure, insulated Rock exit door.
The oak staircase rises and turns to the first-floor landing which has a
chandelier point to the part-vaulted ceiling, wall lights and a window to
the front. A study area sits to the side and the oak flooring continues into
the bedroom three.
The sumptuous master suite has dual aspect floor to ceiling windows with
pastoral views that will lift the heart. The central bed-space has a standalone headboard with bookshelves and night-stands and there is a
strategically placed wall-mounted television point. A door opens to the
dressing room which is fitted with sliding-door wardrobes and accessory
shelves and has ambient lighting. Fully tiled with marble-effect porcelain
with an etched feature wall, the luxury en suite has an arched window,
recessed downlights and wall lights. The classic suite comprises a
Victoria & Albert slipper bath and stand-pump faucet over, a wet room
style shower with protective glass screen, a Laufen wall-mounted vanityset console wash basin, and a back-to-wall w.c. Fitted toiletries cabinets
with a centralized recessed illuminated mirror conveniently line the wall
over the wash basin.

The spacious second bedroom has an arched side window, ceiling light, a
wall mounted television point and more than ample space for wardrobes.
The black and ivory textured floor tiles and matching briquette wall tiling
form the perfect setting for the Roca white suite of panelled shower
cabinet with sliding glass doors, wall mounted vanity-set wash hand
basin and back-to-wall w.c.



Bedroom three has an arched window, ceiling light and oak flooring.
This double room has a range of handle-less bleached-wood effect
wardrobes fitted to one wall plus space for drawer banks and nightstands. Subway tiled in pale sage green, the en suite has a contemporary
white collection comprising 'P' bath with glass screen and shower over, a
wall mounted vanity-set wash basin and a back-to-wall w.c. Lit by an
opaque window and ceiling light, there is also a chrome heated rail to
warm the towels.


Descending to the basement hallway with oak-effect porcelain flooring
and a deep storage cupboard, there are doors to the bedroom suite and to
the leisure suite.
The bedroom suite has grey-wood porcelain plank floor tiling and
recessed downlights along with two glass-block ceiling windows. The
bedroom also has an opaque panel borrowing hallway light and the en
suite is fitted with a white Laufen suite of pedestal wash basin, close
coupled w.c. and a shower cubicle with power shower unit.

The excellent leisure suite has sliding glass doors to a broad, stone
staircase rising to the garden. Grey wood-effect porcelain plank floor
tiles and the industrial style lighting and décor capture the aura of the
space which is split between a pool table area and a state-of-the-art
cinema room. An electronically controlled, floor-to-ceiling, sound
absorbing, concertina black-out curtain encapsulates the Epson ceilingmounted projector, wall-mounted screen and recessed sound speakers.
To the rear is a bar area with oak-topped base cabinets having an inset
sink unit and wall lights.

The property is approached via an electronically controlled sliding gate to
a slate-chipped driveway cutting a path through an extensive lawn
frontage lined by beech and laurel hedging for an impressive arrival at
the up-lit façade. Perimeter stone flagged paths surround the exterior and
the slate drive continues to a parking area for numerous cars and leads to
the detached double garage with roller-shutter electric door, power, light,
a side storage room, a hatch to an eaves storage area and having an alarm
system. There are armoured power points to the exterior wall and a door
to the attached gardener's w.c. and wash basin.

To the rear is a further building currently used as a gym, with window
panels to two sides, laminate flooring, wall-mounted electric heater, wallmounted television point, a kitchen area with sink unit, and a door to the
w.c. and garden furniture store. There is also a timber storage shed, log
store between the buildings and a further grey composite garden
store/tool shed/stable with stable door, up-and-over door, power and
light.

A pebbled area with raised beds gives way to the extensive rear and side
patio which is enclosed by illuminated walling and recessed perimeter
LED lighting, and having a stone al fresco dining table. From here, steps
descend to a decked, ranch-style shelter with seating set around a sunken
gas fire-pit – perfect for chillier evenings. Adjacent is a brick-built storeshed and a large lawn area which opens up to a hedge- and fence-lined
paddock dotted with specimen trees.

Close to the village amenities of both Croston and Bretherton, this
admirable property is within easy reach of road and rail commuter
transport links, outstanding primary and secondary schools, on the
doorstep of splendid local walks and rural pursuits and enjoys the peace
and tranquility of its secluded location.
