Gisburn Road, Bolton By Bowland, Ribble Valley

Offered to the market with no onward chain is this stunning stone-built detached barn, elegantly converted in 1999 into a most desirable family home. It boasts many attractive internal features, including original flagged floors, exposed timber trusses, deep stone sills, vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls, and more. This four-bedroom detached property offers spacious living accommodation over two floors, a large detached garage, an elegant south-facing garden, and beautifully maintained grounds with spectacular open views to the rear—all set in the picturesque, highly sought after Ribble Valley village of Bolton-by-Bowland.

Internally, you are greeted by a wide shield timber door opening into a glazed entrance vestibule, leading into a stunning vaulted entrance hallway with a mezzanine landing above. Light floods the space through French doors opening onto the rear external seating area. Thickset exposed stone walls lead into the main living area, which features a central brick and stone fireplace with multi-burner stove and four timber-framed windows offering pleasant outlooks over open fields to the side and rear.

An inner hallway off the entrance hall provides access to a ground floor bathroom with tiled floor and walls, dual-flush WC, vanity wash basin, and cubicle shower unit. Opposite is the well-appointed dining room, enjoying exposed stone walls, a hatch through to the kitchen, pitch pine flooring, and small openings into the entrance hall.

Adjacent to the dining room is the spacious kitchen/diner, which includes Shaker-style base and eye-level units, original flagged flooring, an external stable door to the rear, double electric oven, integrated fridge, dual-bowl sink, induction four-ring hob with extractor, dishwasher, and ample space for dining furniture. Adjoining the kitchen is a vast utility area housing the oil-fired combination boiler, tiled flooring, base units with sink, and plumbing for washer/dryer. The original plans show the utility and kitchen as one large room, and the layout may benefit from being reconfigured depending on your preference for open-plan living.

To the first floor, an open mezzanine landing leads to four good-sized double bedrooms, including an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom, and a family bathroom. Bedroom one offers beautiful open views to the rear and opens into a walk-in wardrobe with ample fitted storage and access to the en-suite bathroom, which includes tiled floor and walls, corner panelled bath, single-flush WC, and pedestal wash basin.

Bedroom two is a beautiful space with fitted skylights and a large window incorporating part of the original barn door opening. It is currently used as an office, with open access to the landing. The three-piece family shower room features panelled walls, corner mains shower, single-flush WC, and pedestal wash basin. Bedrooms three and four are both small doubles with charming features and open views.

Externally, the property boasts a spacious south-facing garden with a large flagged patio area, mature planting beds, herb gardens, flower borders, and gravelled paths. A stone-surrounded pond with a small water feature provides a relaxing soundtrack while you take in the spectacular views over agricultural pastureland. A large gated driveway offers parking for up to four cars and leads to a detached double garage with two up-and-over doors, ample workshop and storage space, and power and lighting installed.

Gisburn Road is set in the picturesque village of Bolton-by-Bowland, within the Forest of Bowland—an 803 sq km Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty spanning Yorkshire and Lancashire. The village offers a welcoming pub, tearooms, and access to scenic woodland and riverside walks, as well as nearby villages like Chatburn and Slaidburn. Clitheroe, 16 minutes south, features a farmers’ market, while Skipton, 25 minutes east, offers shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. The area is well-served by schools, and trains from Preston reach London in just over two hours. Rich in history, Bolton-by-Bowland dates back to the Domesday Book and retains its charm with village greens, a 13th-century market cross, and the nearby ruins of Sawley Abbey.
