Dating back to 1742, Harwood House is a beautiful detached family home full of charm, character and history. Formerly the village police house, it has a fascinating past while now offering a warm and welcoming place to call home. Combining original features with modern touches, the property provides generous living space that's perfectly suited to family life.



The ground floor offers two spacious reception rooms, both centred around impressive fireplaces with wood burners, creating cosy spaces to relax and unwind. To the rear, the modern kitchen opens into a generous dining area, ideal for family meals and entertaining. A useful utility room, which could also be used as a study, is accessed from the dining area and still retains original features from the building's time as the village police house, including the original cell door, offering a wonderful reminder of the property's rich history. A rear porch provides direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys an en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining two bedrooms both benefit from integrated storage. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A front garden and pathway lead to the entrance, while patios wrap around the home, providing several places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Steps lead down to a large patio driveway with electric gates and access to a substantial detached garage. Beyond this is a well-maintained garden with mature trees, shrubs and plants creating a lovely outdoor space throughout the year.

Located in the heart of the sought-after village of Ribchester, the property is within easy walking distance of local shops, cafes, traditional pubs, a highly regarded primary school, a health centre and everyday amenities. The village is steeped in history and is well known for its friendly community, beautiful walks along the River Ribble, the Roman Museum, and excellent road links to Clitheroe, Longridge, Preston and the wider Ribble Valley, making it an excellent choice for families and commuters alike.

From the Agent's Perspective:
Harwood House is a family home with a warm and welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. The spacious reception rooms, generous kitchen and dining area, and three double bedrooms provide plenty of space for everyday family life. Its history and original features give the property real character, while the gardens, detached garage and quiet village location make it a home that's both practical and enjoyable to live in. With local amenities, schools and countryside walks close by, it offers a great balance of village living and convenience.

From the Client's Perspective:
We have loved living at Harwood House and it has truly felt like home. The character, warm feel and spacious rooms have made it a wonderful place for family life. We have also loved being part of the Ribchester community and would have happily stayed in this lovely village.
