Description

Dating back to the 16th Century and beautifully rebuilt in 1986, Smiths Farm is one of Clayton-le-Woods’ most distinctive homes — a thatched farmhouse that blends centuries-old character with over 4,100 sq. ft. of flexible modern living.

Set on Sheep Hill Brow with direct access to Cuerden Valley Park, it’s a setting that feels tucked away yet remains brilliantly connected. Chorley, Leyland and Preston are all close by, and the M6, M61 and M65 give you quick links further afield.

A gated entrance and sweeping gravel driveway set the tone before you even step inside. Mature wraparound gardens create total privacy and a calm, countryside feel — a rare find so close to everything.

At the heart of the home is the vaulted lounge, where exposed beams, double-height ceilings and a mezzanine study create a dramatic yet inviting space. The rest of the ground floor flows effortlessly: a formal dining room with spiral staircase, cosy cinema room, bright games room and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with central island. An orangery opens onto the garden, and there’s even a private sauna for a touch of indulgence.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master suite comes with dressing area and full en-suite, while two other bedrooms benefit from private or shared en-suite facilities. A mezzanine study overlooks the lounge — perfect for working from home without being shut away.

Smiths Farm isn’t just a house, it’s a lifestyle. Period charm, modern comfort, privacy, space and a truly special location beside rolling parkland — opportunities like this don’t come up often.
