Old Road, Off Whalley Road, Barrow, Ribble Valley

A truly outstanding modern country residence, Thorneyholme is a bespoke five-bedroom detached property extending to over 3,600 sq ft internally, main construction completed in 2022 and set on a private, elevated plot with panoramic views of Wiswell Moor and Pendle Hill. Combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge construction, this remarkable home has been meticulously designed and finished to exacting standards, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both architectural quality and environmental efficiency.

Constructed using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) and finished in beautifully crafted natural stone masonry, the property achieves exceptional thermal performance while maintaining a timeless rural aesthetic. Aluminium-framed windows and doors, under-floor heating throughout the tiled ground floor, and high-specification fixtures and fittings underscore the attention to detail throughout the home.

The generous internal layout includes five spacious double bedrooms, five reception rooms, and a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/living area equipped with a full suite of Neff integrated appliances, Corian work surfaces, and a central island with breakfast bar. A Quooker instant boiling water tap, media wall, and French doors opening onto the garden further elevate the space.

The ground floor accommodation opens via a wide, light-filled entrance hall with an elegant L-shaped staircase rising to the first floor. A cloakroom and two-piece WC lie just off the hall, leading into the heart of the home. The main lounge is a bright, dual-aspect space, anchored by a grand central fireplace (with gas, electric and flue provision) and French doors leading to the rear patio. Three further reception rooms currently serve as a formal dining room, snug, and home office — each adaptable for use as guest accommodation, children’s playrooms, or hobby spaces.

The first floor is equally impressive, with a spacious central landing giving access to five double bedrooms, all offering charming rural aspects. The principal suite benefits from a fitted dressing room and stylish tiled en suite shower room, while bedroom two also features an en suite. Bedrooms three and four are generous doubles with picturesque outlooks, and bedroom five includes a fitted dressing area with built-in wardrobes. A luxurious four-piece family bathroom completes the floor, featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, and twin ‘his and hers’ sinks set in a floating vanity.

Externally, Thorneyholme is discreetly positioned at the end of a private road, approached via a large tarmacadam and gravelled driveway. A vaulted double garage adjoins the main house and includes twin electric roller doors, fitted base units with utility plumbing, and a partitioned WC. A subterranean garage building with power laid on offers additional secure parking or workshop space. The wrap-around gardens are a particular highlight, comprising expansive lawns to the front and rear, paved patios, and mature planting. The rear garden enjoys, paved patio’s and uninterrupted south-westerly views over open countryside, ideal for al fresco dining and evening sunsets.
