Knitting Row Lane, Out Rawcliffe, Preston, Lancashire

***OPEN HOME EVENT*** SUN 11TH JANUARY – 12PM TO 2PM

This superb equestrian property has been carefully planned by the current vendor, both in the house and out. Offering a gorgeous home with a recently fitted, bespoke, painted kitchen created for the vendor, 4 further reception rooms, along with a spacious utility room, each room is furnished and crafted to create a welcoming ambiance.Outside we see well equipped equestrian facilities making the most of a super traditional brick barn, further outbuildings provide open looseboxes and tracks to paddocks along with a menage, meaning that you can be ready to ride from the moment you move in. If you have alternative uses in mind, the buildings can be easily adapted to suit agriculture or other uses, subject to gaining and necessary consent. All set in 10.6 acres (4.3 ha) or thereabouts.

The property is positioned on the popular Knitting Row Lane and offers generous levels of privacy given the brick facing the road. This lovely semi-rural location is 4.9 miles to Poulton and 7.5 miles to Garstang. The idyllic country lane location makes it great for hacking, but it is also close to the main road network, making it a great choice for those who commute but also want to live rurally. There are 3 entrances to the property.

Large composite electric gates open to reveal the courtyard area, which is cocooned by the house and the traditional barn, with access through to the paddocks beyond. This secure area also gives good levels of privacy. An open porch/log store leads to the door where day to day access is taken, the door opens to the entrance hall with a timber effect floor. With practicality in mind the spacious utility /cloakroom is found off the hall, where there are points for a washer and dryer, along with oodles of storage and a WC.

The snug has a fireplace giving an attractive focal point to the room and is also home to the original front door. It is also home to built in cupboards and bookshelves. The study is found off this space, which also has an attractive fireplace and lovely views of the garden. The lounge is a beautiful room with a wonderful open fire set in an attractive surround and doors which lead to the orangery, which has been used as a dining room. The orangery provides views over the gardens and grounds and is a sunny space allowing natural light to flood into the house. Part glazed, double doors give access to the garden and summer house, making the layout great for entertaining both outdoors and in.

The recently fitted bespoke kitchen is stunning, in a timeless style and centred around a fabulous Aga feature. The central island was specifically made for the current vendor and makes for a wonderful sociable room. Integrated appliances include dishwasher, microwave, full height fridge and freezer and Quooker tap.
A handy pantry offers wonderful storage and is accessed directly from the kitchen. A further part glazed door gives access to the gardens at the side.

The staircase rises up to the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms in total. The Principal bedroom is a beautiful bright room, with vaulted ceilings and glazed doors to a balcony. As you walk through to your spacious 4-piece ensuite, you’ll find a spacious fitted wardrobe/dressing room space, creating a sumptuous suite. There are 3 further bedrooms, 2 with a traditional ensuite arrangement and the further jack and jill bathroom which can be accessed via the landing as well — adding flexibility to the space.

The house is set in attractive and well stocked gardens and includes a beautiful lodge style summer house where there is a point for a hot tub. This superb space has great versatility whether you want to use it for entertaining, or just a space to relax and admire the garden. A smaller cosy summer house is also included.

The traditional brick built barn has been altered to create a cosy break area and a comprehensive feed room. Stairs lead to a great room above which is used for storage but alternative uses could be available subject to gaining any necessary consent. There is a further ground floor space that has previously been fitted with American barn style stables and would lend itself to this. Access from this area leads through to the either a further parking area or directly to the menage – ideal for those with equestrian interests! A range of garaging is found at the rear which also has further access to the menage.
Timber pole barns have been built with loose housing in mind, each barn has access to yard/field area, giving great opportunity for horses to live close to nature through the seasons.

The land has been separated into manageable grazing paddocks, hay has been cut on the larger fields. In all the property is set in 10.6 acres (4.3 ha) or thereabouts.
