Slate Lane, Lathom, WN8

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present 'Lynne Hey’ - a beautifully executed three-bedroom semi-detached barn conversion, set along the ever-desirable Slate Lane in Lathom, West Lancashire.

Positioned within a peaceful and private rural setting, this recently completed conversion offers a thoughtful balance between traditional character and contemporary finish, creating a home that feels both refined and entirely practical for modern living. What stands out immediately is how carefully the property has been designed to complement its surroundings, with open countryside on the doorstep and a sense of space that’s increasingly hard to find, yet still within comfortable reach of everyday amenities and essential transport and commuter routes.

Approached via a generous private driveway, there is a real sense of arrival as you pull in, with ample space for multiple vehicles and the property set back in a way that enhances both privacy and outlook. The external appearance reflects its barn origins, with a clean, well-considered finish that hints at the quality carried throughout. Entry is taken through the main front door into a central hallway that immediately sets the tone, being well-proportioned, neatly presented, and offering an easy flow into the main living spaces.

To the front right sits a versatile study, currently arranged as a workspace but equally suited to a snug, reading room or even a playroom depending on needs. It’s a comfortable size, tucked away just enough to provide separation from the main living areas, making it particularly useful for those balancing home and work life. Across the hallway, the main living room spans the opposite side of the property and feels both welcoming and well-balanced. Dual aspect windows, along with French-style patio doors, allow for a pleasant connection to the outside without overwhelming the space, while a contemporary feature fireplace provides a natural focal point. The proportions here lend themselves well to a variety of furniture layouts, whether for quieter evenings or hosting family and friends.

Positioned centrally on the ground floor is a well-appointed shower room and WC, finished with a clean, modern tiled design and fitted with quality fixtures. It’s a practical addition that supports both day-to-day use and visiting guests without intruding on the main living areas.

To the rear, the property opens into what is arguably its most impressive space, hosting a large open plan family dining kitchen. This is very much the heart of the home, designed with both function and sociability in mind. Bespoke hand-crafted painted timber shaker units reside, complemented by high-end integrated appliances and a central island that naturally draws people in, whether for casual meals, preparation, or simply gathering. The use of premium Carrera marble quartz worktops adds a sense of quality without feeling overstated, with vellum skylights illuminating the space naturally, making it ideal for everyday family use as well as entertaining. The layout here works particularly well, with clear zoning between cooking, dining, and relaxing, all while maintaining a cohesive feel.

Upstairs, the same level of attention continues across all three bedrooms. Each room offers comfortable proportions, allowing for proper double bedroom arrangements without compromise, and all benefit from pleasant outlooks across the surrounding grounds. The principal bedroom stands out with its bespoke fitted wardrobes and a well-designed en-suite bathroom that includes a walk-in double shower, freestanding bath, WC, and twin vanity basins. It’s a space that feels considered and complete, offering both practicality and a touch of luxury. The remaining two bedrooms are equally well presented and share access to a main family bathroom, finished in a similar style with a bath and overhead shower, vanity basin, and WC, all of which are practical and well executed.

Externally, the grounds have been landscaped to create a setting that can be enjoyed throughout the year. A wrap-around Indian stone patio extends across the rear of the property, providing multiple seating areas that naturally follow the sun and offer flexibility for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond this, a well-kept lawn is framed by mature planting, trees, and shrubs, giving the garden a sense of structure and privacy without feeling enclosed. One of the more unique features is the detached annexe known as ‘The Lodge’, positioned atop a feature Koi pond. This additional space offers a range of possibilities, from a home office or studio to guest accommodation, and includes its own WC, making it genuinely usable rather than simply an outbuilding.

The property also benefits from a detached double garage, modern central heating, premium double glazing and a consistent level of finish throughout that reflects the quality of the renovation. It’s clear that care has been taken not just in how the home looks, but in how it functions on a day-to-day basis.

In terms of location, Slate Lane is well regarded for its rural feel while still offering accessibility. Lathom itself provides a range of local amenities, with nearby villages and towns offering shops, schools, and essential services. For those commuting, there are straightforward links to larger centres such as Ormskirk and beyond, along with access to key road networks. The surrounding countryside also offers plenty for those who enjoy walking or simply being outdoors, adding to the overall lifestyle appeal of the property.

Extending to a generous 2,114 square feet of exquisite contemporary living accommodation, this is a home that feels complete from the moment you arrive, not just in terms of finish, but in how it supports a variety of lifestyles, whether that’s growing families, those looking to downsize in luxury without compromise, or buyers wanting a blend of rural living with modern convenience. Opportunities like this, particularly with such a considered conversion and setting, don’t come along often. Internal inspection is highly advised to fully appreciate the unique lifestyle available within.
