Pimbo Lane, Upholland, WN8 9QJ

Originally constructed in 1901 and thoughtfully extended in 1968, this striking natural sandstone detached residence stands proudly within its private setting just off Pimbo Lane. Accessed via an unadopted track, the property immediately offers a sense of countryside seclusion and exclusivity.

Set within approximately 1 acre of lawned grounds, together with a further 6.5 acres of protected Green Belt woodland, this is a rare opportunity to acquire not just a home, but a substantial private estate. The elevated position affords far-reaching views across open countryside towards Liverpool and the Welsh mountains. The property has also benefited from a new roof installed in 2024, providing reassurance for years to come.

 
Main Residence
You enter through a welcoming porch into the central hallway. To the right sits the principal living room — a generous, characterful space centred around a stunning fireplace. This feature not only creates an impressive focal point but also powers the home’s heating system via a thermal store and hot water cylinder, providing both hot water and heating to radiators throughout the property. The room comfortably accommodates substantial seating and enjoys delightful views across the surrounding greenery.

Double doors lead into the impressive conservatory, designed in a double-fronted style that maximises light and outlook. With panoramic aspects to both front and rear, it offers a seamless connection to the landscape and truly brings the outside in.

The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home. This expansive dual-aspect room is filled with natural light from windows at either end. Granite worktops, extensive cabinetry and integrated appliances combine quality with practicality. A central island provides informal seating, while the dining space incorporates a dedicated bar area — ideal for entertaining family and guests.

Beyond the kitchen lies a practical boot room/utility with external access, leading through to the substantial games room. Formerly a snooker room, this versatile space offers flexibility for a variety of uses. Subject to the relevant permissions, there may be scope for further development, including the potential for additional accommodation above.

An integral garage provides excellent storage and includes a vehicle inspection pit — a rare and valuable feature for motoring enthusiasts.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from fitted wardrobes, a private en-suite and far-reaching front-facing views that make the most of the home’s elevated position.

Two further double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, complemented by a spacious family bathroom featuring WC, wash basin, walk-in shower and a distinctive vintage double bath with opposing seats — a charming and unusual design feature that adds character and heritage to the home.

 
Detached Annexe
Positioned to the rear, the former stables were converted in 2002 to create a fully self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The accommodation comprises a living area with its own multi-fuel burner, kitchen space, double bedroom and en-suite. Ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or ancillary use, it offers both independence and flexibility.

 
Grounds & Woodland
Immediately surrounding the house are approximately 1 acres of open grassland, complemented by a number of historic outbuildings which may offer future potential subject to the appropriate consents.

Beyond this lies an additional 6.5 acres of private Green Belt woodland. Rich in wildlife, the woodland has been home to deer, foxes, rabbits and a variety of bird species, creating a truly immersive countryside environment. Fallen timber has been sustainably utilised for log storage and fuel for the home’s heating system, reinforcing the property’s connection to its natural surroundings.

17a Pimbo Lane represents far more than a residence. It offers privacy, acreage, character sandstone architecture, self-contained annexe accommodation and outstanding views — all within a uniquely secluded yet accessible setting.

A rare opportunity to acquire not simply a home, but a substantial private retreat where lifestyle and landscape combine effortlessly.
