Mill Lane, Blakenhall, CW5

Set within a picturesque rural setting in Blakenhall, this outstanding barn conversion combines character, space, and modern luxury, all while enjoying breathtaking views of rolling countryside from its south-facing garden.

The property welcomes you through a stunning entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the home. With views up to the first-floor gallery, the space feels both impressive and inviting, creating a warm and memorable first impression.

At the heart of the home is a magnificent open-plan kitchen designed and fitted by Neptune. Beautifully crafted and thoughtfully laid out, the kitchen features integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a range-style induction hob. A striking silestone island provides both style and functionality, while the generous layout easily accommodates a large dining table, making it the perfect space for entertaining and everyday family life.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the garden room, a wonderful space designed to enjoy the natural surroundings. Bifold doors open out onto the garden, creating a superb indoor-outdoor connection during the warmer months and allowing the countryside views to become part of the living space.

Practicality is equally well considered. The utility room, also fitted by Neptune, provides space for both a washing machine and dryer along with useful cupboard storage, offering the ideal place to keep household essentials neatly tucked away.

The living room is a beautifully spacious yet cosy retreat, centred around a log burner that adds warmth and character. French doors open out onto the garden, allowing light to pour in while providing easy access to the outdoor space. The lounge flows effortlessly into a study area, creating a versatile environment that works equally well as a home office, reading space, or quiet place to relax. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC.

Upstairs, the principal suite offers an exceptional private retreat. The bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed along with additional furnishings and features impressive vaulted ceilings, skylights that flood the room with natural light, and an exposed wooden beam that beautifully highlights the barn’s heritage. At the far end of the room lies the luxurious en-suite, fitted with a large walk-in shower featuring dual showerheads including a rainfall shower, a ‘neptune’ vanity unit as well as a freestanding bath for a truly spa-like feel. Underfloor heating adds an extra touch of comfort, and the suite also benefits from access to a spacious dressing room with built-in strachan wardrobes with lighting for an elegant and practical storage solution.

Bedroom two is another generous double room with dual-aspect windows and access to a stylish Jack and Jill en-suite. This bathroom also serves as the main bathroom for the floor and features a walk-in shower with dual showerheads including a rainfall shower, along with underfloor heating. Bedroom three is also a comfortable double and benefits from built-in storage tucked neatly under the stairs.

Bedroom four enjoys its own private floor, creating a superb guest suite or independent living space. This level includes the double bedroom along with its own bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower, offering a wonderful sense of privacy.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The south-facing rear garden enjoys spectacular views across rolling countryside and has been thoughtfully designed with two dedicated seating areas — one sheltered beneath a gazebo for relaxed lounging, and another larger space perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A shed/workshop provides additional storage for gardening tools and equipment. This garden is truly exceptional - it must be viewed to be appreciated.

The property also benefits from a double garage with electric door, connected to the neighbouring garage yet still providing excellent secure parking or storage. The upper section of the garage has flooring offering potential to create a hobby room or additional storage space. There is also a further workshop.
