Kate Roe introduces this exceptional five bedroom detached Barn, a substantial converted freehold barn extending to almost 5000 square feet and offering a blend of characterful features and contemporary luxury throughout. Upon driving off Preston Road, you are greeted by grand and prestigious properties on Hardacre Lane, which then leads to a hamlet where this property sits. The property impresses from the outset with its grand entrance doorway, leading into a welcoming entrance lounge adorned with original beams and a charming log burner, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The heart of the property is the expansive open plan kitchen and breakfast room, seamlessly flowing into a stunning garden room that is designed to maximise the natural light and provide a perfect spot for relaxed family living or entertaining, all while enjoying picturesque views of the adjacent Shaw Hill Golf Course. The 38 foot, lounge/dining room located to the rear of the building, takes in the views of the golf course, with bi-folding doors opening onto the decked area, making it a perfect room for entertaining as it naturally flows into the garden. Given there is a pantry, utility room & a boot room, storage is ample. The boot room leads onto an enclosed yard, accessed via the front & rear of the property, making it perfect to rinse off mucky paws or feet before entering the house.

The ground floor also boasts a luxurious self-contained suite, currently arranged as a spacious bedroom with its own dressing room and en-suite. It is also worth noting, this could be converted into a lounge, with the dressing room serving as a bedroom, accompanied by the en-suite, providing an ideal, private retreat for guests or relatives.

Upstairs, four further bedrooms are generously proportioned, including a principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom and beautiful views over the golf course, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, the period barn character is celebrated with exposed beams, high ceilings, and thoughtful touches such as additional log burners, combining to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a double detached garage, workshop and a large shed to the rear, complemented by a driveway that can accommodate several cars and extends from the front to the rear of the property. The garden is expansive and offers various areas to relax, entertain or for children & animals to play in, all taking in the views of the golf club. And given it is west facing, you get the sun pretty much throughout the day in most spots of the garden. There is a composite decked area directly off the lounge/diner, a large artificial lawned area, stepping down to a stoned garden, patio off the garden room, an outdoor kitchen/bbq area & finally the enclosed yard off the boot room.

Located in a highly desirable area, this home is within walking distance of Waterloo Lodge Independent School, just a mile from Buckshaw Train Station, and only five minutes by car to the M61 (with the M6 reachable in under ten minutes), ensuring excellent connectivity for commuters. The renowned David Lloyd Health Club is also nearby, while the acclaimed Shaw Hill Golf Club and Spa is just a ten minute stroll away, offering a wealth of leisure facilities. With its rare combination of space, character, and prime location, this remarkable residence offers an outstanding lifestyle opportunity for families seeking the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and every-day convenience.
