Whittingham Lane, Preston, PR3

Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Goosnargh, this unique and beautifully converted 1900s stone barn offers an exceptional blend of character, space, and rural tranquility. Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying easy access to the nearby villages of Broughton and Longridge—each offering a range of shops and amenities—this stunning home is also just a 10-minute drive from the M6 motorway, making it perfectly placed for both peaceful living and convenient commuting.

Approached via electric gates, a sweeping private driveway leads to the entrance of the property, setting the tone for what lies within. The house immediately impresses with its grand entrance hall, where a sweeping staircase with contemporary glass balustrade bridges the charm of the original structure with stylish, modern design. From here, a spacious music room, currently housing a grand piano included in the sale, flows seamlessly into a spectacular conservatory (complete with warm roof) elevated to overlook the beautifully landscaped gardens. French doors open out to a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining on summer days.

The ground floor also features a generous lounge with a stone fireplace, complete with woodburner, creating a cosy retreat for colder months. Characterful accents are evident througout the property including partly exposed stone walls and wooden beams. At the heart of the home is a spacious dining kitchen, designed for both family life and informal gatherings, featuring plentiful storage, freestanding appliances incuding a range cooker (all included in the sale), a Quooker tap, and a dishwasher. For formal occasions, an adjoining dining room provides a perfect space for entertaining, linking the kitchen and lounge with ease. A utility room offers practicality for day-to-day living, complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, while a ground floor W.C. adds convenience.

Upstairs, the property boasts four large double bedrooms, all bright and neutrally decorated. The master suite benefits from contemporary fitted wardrobes, a spacious en-suite, and a striking feature window that floods the room with natural light. A second en-suite bedroom also includes built-in storage, while the large family bathroom—also accessible from the third bedroom, completes the first floor.

Enhancing the already generous living space is an adjoining two-storey annex. The ground floor hosts three versatile rooms currently arranged as a games room, gym, and office, while the first floor offers an additional room with further development potential. With its own front and rear access, this annex could be adapted into a self-contained living space, ideal for multi-generational living or as a potential Airbnb opportunity (subject to relevant permissions).

Outside, the wrap-around gardens are nothing short of spectacular. Mature trees, well-established planting, and two charming ponds, complete with a fountain, create a quintessential English country garden. Expansive lawns to the front and side provide space for children, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors, while practical features such as a log store, BBQ hut, and storage shed are all in place. The extensive driveway allows for parking of up to ten vehicles, ensuring that this home is as practical as it is picturesque.

A true one-of-a-kind property, this beautifully renovated barn combines period charm with modern luxury, offering a rare opportunity to embrace rural living without compromising on space, comfort, or accessibility. Whether you're seeking a spacious family home, a tranquil countryside retreat, or a property with scope for additional income or accommodation, this stunning residence delivers on every level.
