Appearances can be deceptive. The perfect combination of the traditional good looks of a detached stone and slate barn conversion married with a contemporary, high quality and bespoke interior. There is also the advantage of planning permission to build a single story extension.   Nestled in a central position in the heart of the attractive Conservation Area village of Borwick, Sheep Fold forms part of the streetscape of individual and largely period cottages, houses and farms with a central informal village green. Buying in 1987, Sheep Fold has been a much loved home, since which time they have maintained and upgraded the house, so if you are looking for a property where you can move straight in and start enjoying straight away, then this needs to be on your viewing list. Walking through the accommodation, the central hallway has a real wow factor, double height with a gallery landing above. The dining kitchen and sitting room are both well proportioned and there’s a useful walk in cloakroom/pantry. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom and a super sleek and stylish shower room which will rival any boutique hotel in its appointments. With low upkeep gardens Sheep Fold has definitely potential for a ‘lock up and leave’ residence and is also likely to appeal to couples, both professional and retired and families. In a quiet country roadside setting, the house has a lovely view over the road to the rolling open field opposite with its vibrant green lime tree. Vendor insight “We don’t know how old the barn is, but it was part of the farm next door which has a 1681 date stone. It was converted in 1984 and then we moved here in 1987. We’ll miss the view from the front and the garden, the lambs in the field opposite are lovely to see in spring.”   Location Sheep Fold is in the heart of the village of Borwick and situated next door to Grade I listed Borwick Hall an impressive 16th-century manor house (now used as a residential outdoor education and conference centre). Well placed, Borwick is almost midway between the Georgian city of Lancaster to the south and the Lakeland gateway and market town of Kendal to the north. Amongst other merits, Borwick is popular for its great access to road and rail links, being highly accessible for joining the M6 motorway at either Junction 35 or 36 depending on your direction of travel and for main west coast railway stations at either Lancaster or Oxenholme (Kendal) and the branch line at Carnforth which has a direct service to Manchester Airport. Borwick shares social activities, St. Mary’s Church and the Memorial Hall with the residents of the neighbouring village, Priest Hutton. The small town of Carnforth lies to the south west and is handy for everyday needs with a busy high street and choice of supermarkets (Booths, Tesco and Aldi). Lune Valley gem Kirkby Lonsdale is also within easy reach and offers a great retail and dining experience being full of independent traders. Nearby Capernwray offers a church, open water swimming, diving and cafe at Jackdaw Quarry and an indoor swimming pool that is open to the public at Capernwary Hall, a Grade II* listed building and former country house, now run as a Christian Bible school and holiday centre. If you love being outdoors and having access to countless routes for walking, running and cycling, then this is a great spot. You can stretch your legs across fields, on lanes and along the canal path. Vendor insight “The village is very peaceful. When we first lived here we used to commute into Lancaster, not only was it extremely convenient but it was a wonderfully quiet place to return to at the end of a busy day. As time has gone on we have spent more time away and so the house has come into its own once more with the ease with which we can lock up and jet off. It works well.”   Step inside A contemporary styled American oak front door opens into the impressive double height entrance hall with a glass and stainless steel balustrade around the gallery landing above. A custom made, grey Forge Steel industrial style stairway, on a central spine with a stainless steel handrail, makes a strong contemporary statement. Sandstone coloured paint has been chosen as the anchor for the colour scheme and has been used on the internal skirting boards and door frames as well as externally on the rainwater goods. It compliments well with the tones of the local stone. Window frames are made of pitch pine and have been stained to compliment the overall decorating palate. Deep sandstone window cills have been added in the kitchen, sitting room and hall and have timeless appeal. Whether stone or painted wood, the window cills throughout are lovely and deep and provide space for display with splayed cills to maximise light. Contemporary black cast iron radiators have been installed throughout. Amtico flooring extends throughout the entire ground floor with coir carpeting on the landing and all three bedrooms. Dual aspect, the sun comes into the kitchen first thing and throughout the morning. The kitchen door opens out to a charming old Cart-Arch which leads you onto the terrace. Well appointed, the kitchen has cream high gloss fronted cabinets under black, cream and beige granite worktops. NEFF integral appliances comprise five ring gas hob with extractor hood and light over, oven and second combination oven/microwave/grill with a further warming drawer, dishwasher and washing machine. Franke 1 ¼ bowl sink unit with a flexi mixer tap. An oak topped island unit provides storage space and a breakfast bar. An oak framed, fully glazed back door has been commissioned and will be installed to compliment the internal oak and glass doors running throughout the ground floor. Providing useful storage is a cloakroom/pantry with deep shelves and a row of oak and chrome coat hooks. The sun moves round to the spacious dual aspect sitting room in the afternoon and evening. Travertine stonework has been used to face the chimney breast and surround the contemporary Di Lusso wood burning stove. Rising to the first floor, the landing has a feature circular window to the front elevation and on the back wall there is a fully fitted custom built storage system installed by Gliderobes Ltd, which provides valuable storage and frees up space in the bedrooms for other furniture. The master bedroom has a lovely leafy view to the vibrant lime tree and verdant field opposite. A wall has been tiled with Chinese slate tiles, the rich and varied copper and grey colours providing a great focal point with uplighters and downlighters for atmospheric lighting. The second double bedroom is also on the front elevation and has a similar view with wall lights either side of the bed. The third bedroom is a single on the west elevation and will get the afternoon and evening sun. The present owners use this as a study; there are wall lights in this room too. If you fancy a slice of luxury then the shower room has been fitted with high end fittings and has a distinct boutique hotel feel about it. A large shower cubicle has both rainfall and flexible shower heads. Duravit fittings comprise vanity unit, bidet and loo. The room is fully tiled with a Bisque radiator and an illuminated mirror. Vendor insight “Our favourite room is the dining kitchen. We love cooking and entertaining and this has been a great house for having friends and family round for meals; it’s a lovely sociable space.”   Step outside The outside space is enough to enjoy and really use without being too much that it becomes a chore to maintain. The front garden is paved for ease of upkeep and leads round to the side where two steps of decking rise to the main garden which is a stone flagged side terrace. This lovely outside space gets the sun in the morning, over lunch and through the afternoon; the creative use of pots and planters ensures that the seating terrace is private and screened from the road and along the eastern boundary. Wooden seating has been built, all you need are a few cushions; it’s ready to go and means that you don’t need to worry about the winter storage of furniture. It’s all about making life easier. There’s a really useful external garden store to the side as well. Block built with stone faced elevations under a slated roof, this outhouse has power and light so it would also make a great workshop or hobbies space. At the moment it provides excellent storage for tools, sports kit and a second drinks fridge which is a definite asset when entertaining! To the west there is off road parking for three cars. The owners plan to add a gate to the side elevation so that the terrace is secure for dogs and also small children. Vendor insight “The size of the garden has always been an asset to us, we don’t want to be tied down by gardening but want enough space to sit out, enjoy and also entertain. In the warmer months, the terraced garden is great for outside dining and barbecues where we set up a fire pit for after the sun goes down.”   Services Mains electricity and water. LPG gas.

USD 984,243

A generously proportioned and light filled property offering well laid out accommodation of over 3140 sq ft plus outbuildings. Built in 1991 it was purchased by the vendors in 2017 and subjected to a considerable remodeling and thorough renovation leaving no stone unturned, it was also extended at the same time. The results are remarkable. From start to finish, this is a superior property and offers residents a staircase hall the look and feel of which aesthetically sets the tone for the rest of the house, a cloakroom, formal sitting room, office and a fabulous open plan living kitchen with space to cook, dine and sit in a choice of seating areas. Completing the ground floor are a utility room and gym. Rising to the first floor there is a striking principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite shower room, two further ensuite double bedrooms, and then fourth double bedroom and fifth single room share the luxuriously appointed house bathroom. Outside there is a secure electrically operated sliding gated entrance and excellent parking at the front. The back garden is accessible from either side of the house via secure oak framed gates, one being vehicular width, the other single pedestrian to offer a safe and secure place for children and dogs. Skillfully landscaped to enable full enjoyment with minimum input the back garden has a super outdoor kitchen as well as a detached outhouse. If achieving a work life balance or finding a great place to bring up the children is your mission, then look no further – Stalmine offers great accessibility by road (the M55 and M6) and also rail (there are stations at Lancaster and Preston on the main West Coastline). Vendor Insight We’ll miss the peace and quiet of this location. With plenty of parking space at the front, the garden is all at the back of the house. It’s incredibly private and we’re not aware of the road at all from there. Location Stalmine is a well-connected and accessible semi-rural village in the Wyre borough of Lancashire, in a part of the Fylde known as Over Wyre. The village is located on the A588, the main road between Hambleton and Lancaster. For daily essentials there is a Morrisons Local within walking distance and a small selection of shops at both Knott End-on-Sea (2.2 miles) and Hambleton (1.8 miles). Between them, Poulton-le-Fylde (5.4 miles) and Garstang (10.1 miles) offer a full range of health services (doctors, dentists, opticians as well as hairdressers and barbers), professional services (including solicitors and accountants), supermarkets (Marks & Spencer’s Food Hall, Booths, Sainsbury’s and Aldi), vets and a great choice of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars as well as busy high streets full of independent retailers. The nearest cities are Lancaster (under 15 miles by road) and Preston (less than 20 miles distant), both offering a great shopping experience with national and independent retailers, thriving arts and cultural scenes, a calendar of annual events and plenty of historical and heritage sites to visits as well as picturesque parks to wander around. Both cities have both NHS and private hospitals. Manchester is within commuting distance whether by car or train and practical for a day’s shopping, sporting fixture, theatre excursion or dining experience. Stalmine is well connected with access to the M55 interchange just over 9 miles away, from here you’re swiftly onto the M6 so the wider motorway network is to hand whether travelling for business or pleasure. If you prefer to travel by train, then both Lancaster and Preston have stations on the main West Coastline with regular services to London (Euston) and Edinburgh. Vendor Insight We’ve really enjoyed the location - it’s handy for the shops and we love walking our dogs at Knott End along the esplanade where there are lovely views over the Lakeland fells and to Fleetwood. Step Inside Great focus, care and attention to detail has gone into creating this impressive modern detached house. Built in 1991, it was purchased by the current owners in 2017 who then instigated a comprehensive remodel and refit where not just the cosmetics were included in the program of works. The aim was to future proof the house with a refurbishment that provided the peace of mind that only an exceptionally thorough job is equipped to do. The house was also extended, the garden room was added as was the gym with a principal bedroom suite above. To the main structure the roof was replaced, new PVC windows (many with fitted blinds) and remote-controlled Velux skylights were installed; the garden room skylights have fitted rain sensors and those in the high ceiling of the principal bedroom (it rises dramatically to the roof’s apex and has a real ‘wow’ factor), have remote control blinds. Internally the house has been tastefully decorated using a select palette of colours bringing a sense of calm and flow to the accommodation. Joinery was replaced; there are contemporary oak doors with striking black ironmongery (the black of the handles echoed in the sockets and switches around the house), both staircases (there are two) feature a bespoke oak and smoked glass balustrade, internal flooring was renewed and, in many rooms, features hard wearing and practical Karndean. In the hall, the oak doors are complemented by an oak bench with upholstered seat, above which is an arrangement of a high shelf and hooks for coat storage. Indicative of the attention to detail employed the refurbishment went right back to basics. The house was rewired, there is LED lighting throughout (many fittings are dimmable) and outside the house is illuminated at night (again, all LED). It was also replumbed and a new central heating system installed, continuing the strong and consistent design aesthetic, black radiators tie in visually with the handles and switches. For comfort there is underfloor heating on the landing, in the house bathroom and the principal ensuite where there is also a heated mirror. Outside rainwater goods were replaced and ground drainage was improved. The heart of the home and never more so than here, there is a spacious and open plan L shaped living kitchen, a super family room, enabling everyone to be together but employed with their own activities. It’s also a wonderful space for a get-together with two sets of doors out to the garden providing an enviable indoor/outdoor flow in the warmer months. The kitchen itself is a stylish affair, doors are slab fronted with black angular handles. The worktops are quartz, white with a grey vein. Central is an island unit attached to which is an oak dining table with six co-ordinating grey leather dining chairs. Fully equipped for the keen cook, the kitchen comes complete with two combination Siemens oven/microwaves, a third microwave, a warming drawer and an induction hob with fan over. There’s a Bosch fridge freezer, Siemens dishwasher, temperature-controlled Capel wine fridge and a Quooker tap providing constant hot water. The utility room follows on with a matching look and over a large sink unit is a sprinkler tap. There’s super storage and for ease of access, the Miele washing machine and tumble drier have both been raised from the traditional ground level position. The gym replaces the garage and offers a room that is both flexible and adaptable for any use you require – a true ‘anything’ room. With doors to the front and side as well as sliding doors out to the back garden, it would provide an attractive place to work if you were to have clients calling but didn’t want access through the family living space. If you had youngsters, it would also make a great playroom or if you simply wanted a hobbies space it’s ideal. There are various items of fitted storage around Bridge Haven; the office comes complete with a desk and storage cabinets and the sleek wall mounted media cabinet in the snug is included. The principal bedroom is extensively fitted, and bedrooms two, three and four all have fitted furniture as well. The three largest bedrooms all have ensuite shower rooms with the remaining fourth double and fifth single bedroom sharing the generous house bathroom. As one would imagine from a property like this, the bath and shower rooms are all beautifully appointed and very stylish bringing a touch of luxury to your every day. There are two roof spaces for storage, both have pull down ladders; one is boarded, carpeted and has power and light. For ultimate convenience both the fires in the sitting room and the garden room are gas living flames. Everybody has gadgets aplenty these days and so to accommodate modern day life, most of the plug sockets incorporate ethernet ports. Impressive and well equipped this is a highly desirable property by anybody’s standards. All the hard work has been done, it’s ready for immediate occupation. Vendor Insight We virtually live in the kitchen/family room. The L shaped arrangement works well, the kitchen and dining table are in the middle and then at one end we have a cosy TV snug and at the other a sunny garden room. The sitting room is great when we’ve friends or family visiting; it gets well used over the Christmas holidays. Step Outside First impressions count and Bridge Haven has stature and presence. The thoroughness of the renovation project continues externally where the gardens have been landscaped to enable maximum enjoyment and use with minimal upkeep. Facing east and set back off the road behind a grey brick wall topped with smart railings, enter through the front electric gates and there is plenty of...

Dale House Barn offers a great balance of house and gardens, outbuildings and land. This is super choice for those seeking a country lifestyle with the opportunity to have a few acres (the paddocks account for c 2.95 acres)of the total plot of c 3.35 acres) supported by a range of traditional outbuildings and stables. There’s also the possibility of adding value to your investment; the outbuildings offer conversion potential to either extend the present living accommodation, create secondary ancillary living quarters or a dedicated work space or even create letting accommodation to enable you to derive an income from home. All in all, there’s excellent potential to tailor make the property to your own requirements and add value. Converted in 1981 the barn has made a well-proportioned residence, it is attractively presented and makes a welcoming family home. The lovely living kitchen offers space to cook, eat and relax. There’s a generous sitting room and a large home office. Downstairs there is also a cloakroom, a play/games room and a connecting door to the double garage above which is a room which offers scope for upgrading. To the first floor, off a really rather roomy gallery landing, the principle bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there are three further double bedrooms and a house shower room. Outside the parking provision is extensive and there is a private and enclosed rear garden. Attached to the house are two outbuildings, a former stable (with the original dividing stalls) and a multipurpose outbuilding. A detached stone-built outbuilding contains two further loose boxes with a lean-to wood store/third stable attached. The land adjoins the garden so that a watchful eye may be kept on grazing stock. In terms of investment potential, Dale House Barn packs a strong punch giving the opportunity to create a property to suit your own individual lifestyle as well as add value. Vendor Insight When we came to Dale House Barn we were looking for an opportunity to embrace a more rural lifestyle. There’s farming in the family so this was an opportunity to be hands on ourselves. We have chickens and sheep; the kids have had a blast with the outside space and lambing time has proved to be a magical experience, hard work, but absolutely worth every moment. Events are taking us away, but our plan was to create holiday letting units in the outbuildings, even above the garage. We could envisage a shower block in the former stables. There’s certainly investment and income potential here. The location is ideal for this type of use as there is so much to see and do locally. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are both within easy reach for a day out and there are the lovely coastlines at Silverdale and Arnside as well as the promenades at Morecambe and Grange. Location The scattered hamlet of Tewitfield lies between Borwick and Carnforth, close to Lancashire’s boundary with Cumbria. Situated along the A6070 it benefits from excellent accessibility; being almost midway between Lancaster and Kendal it is also eminently convenient for hopping onto the motorway at either J35 or J36 depending on the direction of your travel. Tewitfield is furthermore a great location if you need to access the rail network with any degree of regularity as there are main West Coast line stations at both Lancaster and Oxenholme (near Kendal) which are both easy to reach with a branch line station at nearby Carnforth. The village of Burton in Kendal lies 2.2 miles to the north and has a Post Office with general store, pub, primary school and village hall. For everyday needs Carnforth (2.5 miles distant) offers a wider provision of local services with a choice of supermarkets (Booths, Aldi, Tesco and Co-op), doctors, dentists and veterinary surgeries and a busy high street of largely independent shops. The Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is under 10 miles away and makes for a delightful day trip with a bustling main street which is home to bespoke shops and a great choice of places to go for food and drinks. Midway between the National Parks of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales this is a choice location if you enjoy ready access to the hills and the dales. With a drive of just over 22 miles you can be in the heart of the Lakes and on the shores of Lake Windermere. Further walking and outdoor pursuits are to be found in the nearby AONBs of Silverdale and Arnside which offers some stunning coastal scenery and the remote and peaceful moorland landscape of the Forest of Bowland. If you like to stay connected then this is a central location that will give you access to a whole host of things to see and do. Vendor Insight When we first viewed the property, apart from the land and potential, the great convenience of the location was a big plus point and it’s really worked for us as a family. From here we are easily onto the motorway either north or south bound, the station in Carnforth is handy and the buses stop on the road not far from the drive entrance; as the children have become more independent, this has been brilliant. Burton in Kendal has a village shop and Post Office which is really handy and Carnforth has everything you could need on a daily basis including a choice of four supermarkets. Step Inside The house offers extensive accommodation with 2,603 sq. ft. of living space which excludes the outbuildings, garage and stables. Attractively presented, it’s ready to move straight into and has a welcoming feel. Set under a slated open porch, solid double doors make a striking first impression and open to a vestibule with a hard wearing and practical stone flagged floor, just the thing for life in the country. Stepping through and into the staircase hall, much of the internal joinery has been painted a restful soft grey green and harmoniously tones with the wooden ceiling beams. Other characterful features scattered around the house include exposed stonework, window seats and lovely deep cills. Off the hall is a cloakroom with loo and wash basin, a useful deep storage cupboard and plumbing for the washing machine. The sitting room is inviting, especially with the Town and Country Dalby Eco wood burning stove. Generous in size there are views to both the front and back gardens with French windows leading out to the westerly facing flagged seating terrace. The office must be a lovely place to work as there is a view straight out to the garden. A sociable living kitchen is the sort of room most frequently requested by buyers, what makes this one particularly special is that the seating area is two steps up at a slightly higher level and is partially separated by a balustrade. The arrangement works well for family life and is also super if you are entertaining. The kitchen cabinets have classic cream shaker style doors and extend into a peninsular unit with a breakfast bar perfect for a quick bite to eat or for perching and chatting to the cook. There’s a royal blue Rangemaster cooker and an integral dishwasher. Off the living kitchen is a versatile room, we’ve called it a play or games room but it’s also been a gym; it’s a true ‘anything’ room. Sliding doors lead out to the rear flagged terrace and there’s a window opposite looking out to the field. Attached to the house and with a door from the kitchen is the double garage. If you like to tinker with vehicles then the inspection pit will appeal, there are two electric operated doors and a wooden staircase leading to the first-floor room – another space with a multitude of options for upgrading or conversion. With a ceiling open to the roof space there are exposed roof timbers and a view of the front garden. The bedroom accommodation is all on the first floor, off a lovely large landing is a traditional airing cupboard providing super storage. The principle bedroom has westerly views over the back garden to the fields beyond and two built in wardrobes. The ensuite bathroom has been stylishly refitted and has a free-standing slipper bath, separate shower cubicle for when time doesn’t permit a leisurely soak, a contemporary floating vanity unit with oval wash basin and a loo. Looking out to the leafy canopy of the trees in the front garden, it’s an indulgent and relaxing space, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. There are three further double bedrooms which share the house shower room, again, benefitting from a stylish makeover there is a large shower cubicle, wash basin and loo. All in all, a comfortable and attractive family home. Vendor Insight The rooms are all a really good size and there’s scope to change things around with the attached playroom, garage and outbuildings. At one point we’d thought that the garage and room above would make an ideal cottage for a dependent relative. The sitting room is so cosy in winter with the log burner going and in summer the French windows open onto the terrace. At Christmas we were spoilt for choice as to where to put the tree and so had three; one in the sitting room, one in the snug and one on the landing which looks so festive from outside arriving home on a dark December afternoon. It’s been a great house for having friends and family over. There’s lots of space both inside and out depending on the time of year. The kitchen, in particular, really lends itself to a party. Step Outside The garden and grounds provide an adventure playground for children and adults alike and will doubtless offer greater appeal than the house for some buyers – the front garden is set up for extensive parking so cars, vans, campers and boats can all be accommodated. It’s walled to the road with a might...

It’s been a wonderful family home for us. We’ve had some great parties here; an 18th birthday and two 21st birthday celebrations. Every year we’ve had a Christmas cocktail party for around 50 guests; the house opens up really well.” Location St Michaels Hall Cottage is set in an idyllic countryside location close to the charming village of St Michaels on Wyre. The village is centered on the Grade I Listed church of St Michaels, which was founded prior to 640 AD and is later referenced in the Doomsday Book. The village has an active local community with events held throughout the year including a summer fete and candle-lit carol concert. The River Wyre meanders past the church, through the village and across local farmland, providing a scenic backdrop for this impressive ‘farmhouse’ property. Day-to-day needs are well provided for by the attractive ancient market town of Garstang. Here you will find a full range of health services, supermarkets and a thriving weekly market. The cities of Lancaster and Preston are also easily accessible with highly regarded hospital and educational facilities. Whether you need to travel for business or love to get out and about for pleasure, transport links are to hand with convenient access onto the M6 at either J32 or J33 depending on the direction of your travel and there are train stations on the main West Coastline at both Lancaster and Preston. London and Edinburgh can easily be reached within 2 hours. The main living areas The contemporary front door opens to a bright atrium/orangery; the French windows opening onto the central courtyard and the large roof lantern both allow light to flood in. The generously proportioned living room, known as the ‘main barn’, has beaded pine ceiling beams and French windows to both the walled garden and the courtyard. In part, the room is double height as it is from here that a staircase rises solely serving the principal bedroom suite. The polished oak handrail curves invitingly up to a mezzanine gallery above. At Christmas the balustrade is wrapped with an illuminated garland and a tall tree placed in front of the courtyard windows so that it can be admired throughout the ground floor. A contemporary Evonic LED fire is set into a striking ‘media wall’ which also houses a flush TV screen. Works of art in themselves, and worthy of note, are the pair of textured steel upright radiators. With views to the walled garden, the adjacent ‘garden room’ connecting the main barn area with the library, and with the wood burning stove lit, is a yet another cosy space. Within the family the library is fondly referred to as “The Gentlemen’s Room” for obvious reasons; it’s a distinctly masculine space and with a fire in the open grate, a glass of your favourite tipple and a good book to hand, it’s no doubt a relaxing way to spend a winter’s evening. Extra tall double oak doors open to the atmospheric dining room where the ceiling rises to the roof apex with exposed trusses on show. By virtue of the partially glazed door to the orangery there’s an inviting long view through to the courtyard and spa beyond. The breakfast kitchen embraces clean lines, using a palette of colours that marries nature-inspired shades with a contemporary efficiency. This is a room not just for cooking (it’s incredibly well equipped in terms of appliances) but also for socialising; there’s a central island unit incorporating a breakfast bar with striking pendant lighting above and a stone fireplace housing a wood burner. Set behind a glass wall with integral door is a stunning cantilever oak set of steps positioned against the backdrop of a wall clad with reclaimed ship’s timbers. Under the steps is extensive wine racking and handmade oak cabinetry with drawers set on sliders designed to house wine crates; the ‘floating stairs’ lead up to the fourth bedroom. For a continuous appearance, the separate laundry and garage cabinets echo those in the kitchen. The property is well appointed for work, rest and play; the gym is light and airy with a double height ceiling, remote control Velux windows and two wall-mounted air conditioning units to keep you cool. The extensive range of gym equipment is available to purchase separately to provide a full set up as soon as you move in. When your workout is finished, head next door to the spa room. It really offers the ultimate in rest and relaxation. Everything has been thought through – the 14 ft hydropool swim trainer (doubling as a huge hot tub!), the steam room and Canadian maple-clad sauna both seat six comfortably and there is a shower room, cloakroom and changing area. The sauna and steam facilities are controllable remotely, via the EOS touch-screen control panel, and the steam room has an arched ceiling ensuring that there are no drips from overhead and a cold water tap and basin enables a cooling drink or cold facecloth. The spa room is designed to be used all year round with an Evonic LED fire set into a stone chimney breast; open the south facing bifolding doors and allow the sun to shine straight in. The floor tiling continues from the pool surround out to the courtyard, and through to the orangery, giving a continuous look. There is rarely a breath of wind in the sheltered courtyard; with the loungers and fire pit set up in the courtyard you have the perfect ingredients for your very own mini spa break. Looking to work from home? The study has an enviable (but dangerously distracting!) view down the walled garden. Daydreaming is positively encouraged. The property is blessed with a sunny aspect – an alfresco breakfast is to be enjoyed on the main terrace, the courtyard is perfect for a mid morning coffee or spot of lunch and a chilled sundowner catching the last of the day’s rays is best taken at the far end of the garden. Bedroom accommodation The four bedrooms are located in distinct areas of the house, whilst this may possibly not suit a family with very young children it does mean for those with older children or perhaps a couple looking to embrace the space and welcome guests, the layout perfectly provides a degree of separation and ensures complete privacy. The principal bedroom suite offers a rare and thoroughly well deserved degree of luxury. Approached by a private and gracefully curved flight of stairs, the iroko treads and oak handrail are finished with a locally forged balustrade, based on a Parisian design. Rising to the ample mezzanine floor there is a gallery feel to the space with artwork displayed, lovely, weathered brick work and views to both the garden and through the former barn door opening to the courtyard. The first thing to say is that the bedroom has a sumptuously soft carpet underfoot, a generous room where the ceiling rises to the apex with exposed roof trusses, the space easily accommodates a king sized bed which is positioned against an upholstered headboard on a half height partition wall which divides the bedroom space from the bathroom where there’s a traditional cast iron bath contrasting nicely against the contemporary styled vanity unit and large shower cubicle with rainfall head, all of which are set on a Lakeland slate tiled floor. The dressing room is a further delight – set behind glass doors are illuminated fitted units which offer hanging space, drawers, shelves and shoe rails. Overnight and weekend visitors will be well suited with the primary guest suite; it is located in what was formerly a small barn. Arranged over two floors with a double height section in part, it has a ground floor sitting room and wet room. The gallery bedroom above is approached by an attractive staircase of iroko treads with a glass and chrome balustrade; the ceiling is open to the roof apex with exposed roof trusses and a feature semi circular window to the courtyard. The wet room has a rainfall shower, square cut wash basin, toilet and handmade crackle glaze tiles.

Saint Michael's on Wyre

USD 877,669

A spacious and well-proportioned detached chalet style dormer bungalow occupying a coveted corner plot position. This spacious and light family home is well designed and after being tenanted for some time now offers great potential for new owners to refresh and put their own stamp on it. The space and layout are such that it would be the perfect opportunity for a young or growing family, or perhaps suit those seeking multi-generational living arrangements. Well placed, Kintour Road offers convenient access to the various towns and villages along the Fylde Coast where you’ll find a wide range of entertainment and attractions, pubs, cafes and restaurants and shops with broad appeal. The light filled accommodation is spread out over three floors with the ground floor offering an entrance vestibule, a spacious inner hallway with sitting area, generous sitting room with French windows leading out to the rear garden, a kitchen providing access to the sunroom and an integral double garage. Two double bedrooms and a Jack and Jill style ensuite complete the offering to the ground floor. Ground floor bedrooms are such a flexible arrangement to any layout as they offer the potential for future proofing with a single level living option or alternatively an accessible bedroom for less mobile residents or guests. To the first floor you’ll find the really rather roomy landing which has space for a dedicated office, perfect if you are looking to have the option of working from home. Up here is the principal bedroom, featuring both a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room. The fourth bedroom and family bathroom are on this floor with the fifth and final bedroom tucked away on the second floor. Outside there is a level and family friendly wrap around L-shaped garden and a driveway with parking for several cars. All in all, No. 3 Kintour Road is a great property with the potential for upgrading to make it well and truly your future family home. Location Lovely Lytham St Annes is a well-regarded seaside town on the Fylde coast, directly south of Blackpool on the Ribble Estuary. Just so you get your bearings if you are new to the area the town is made up of the four areas of Lytham, Ansdell, Fairhaven and St Annes-on-the-Sea. By way of history, Lytham is the older settlement and used to cover the whole area. St Annes was founded as a new seaside resort in the 1870s on open land at the western end of the parish. From 1878 the two towns were administered separately (with Fairhaven and Ansdell being part of Lytham). They were reunited in 1922 under the compound name ‘Lytham St Annes’. Homing in on Kintour Road, there is a strong sense of community locally, nestled between Regent Avenue and Islay Road, Kintour Road is a popular and sought after location for families and there’s no doubt why, day-to-day needs are well provided for between the Lytham, St Annes, Fairhaven and Ansdell. Between them you will find a full range of health services (doctors, dentists, opticians as well as hairdressers and barbers), professional services (including solicitors and accountants), supermarkets (including Booths, Sainsbury’s and M&S), vets and a great selection of places to go for drinks and food as well as busy high streets with an array of independent retailers. When the bright lights beckon, the diverse and welcoming city of Preston is the nearest and offers a bustling shopping experience, busy markets, a thriving arts and cultural scene, a calendar of annual events and plenty of historical and heritage sites to visit as well as several picturesque parks to wander around. Both NHS and private hospitals are in the city. Lytham St Annes is well connected with access to the M55 a short distance away and from there you’re onto the M6 so whether you need to travel for business or pleasure access to the motorway network is to hand. Lytham has its own railway station with regular services to Preston which has a train station on the main West Coast line. From Preston you can be in Manchester in under an hour whether its for commuting, shopping excursions or theatre trips and the capitals of London and Edinburgh can be reached within 2.5 hours. Step Inside First impressions count and No.3 has an attractive entrance, the front door has an arched paneled glazing with matching windows either side. This opens to a spacious and light filled hallway which is large enough to accommodate a seating area. Beyond the first set of double doors, the family sitting room creates an ideal entertaining space, with floor to ceiling double glazed windows and French windows opening to the rear garden; opened up on warmer days and you have a great flow from inside to out. When the weather turns and days get shorter and colder, there’s a warm and welcoming living flame gas fire which is set in the marble minster style fireplace with marble hearth. Creating a sociable flow and a sense of space there are double opening glass panel doors which open from the sitting room to the dining kitchen; solid oak timber floorboards and matching worktops atop the cream panel fronted cabinets offer a traditional look. There’s a pot sink, dishwasher and range cooker with a seven-burner gas hob and electric fan oven. The units extend into a breakfast bar for informal dining with space for a dining table and chairs in the adjacent sun room. This property lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, offering two ground floor double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and the larger of the two bedrooms having a door to the ground floor bathroom in the form of a Jack and Jill style ensuite. Looking to work from home on a full or part time basis? The spacious first floor landing has fitted desk furniture so you’re good to go. The dual aspect generously sized principal bedroom is a bit of a treat, there’s a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with shower, wash hand basin and loo. Another good-sized double bedroom with built in wardrobes complete and the family shower room complete the first floor set up. Rising to the second floor and off the landing is a store room and the fifth and final bedroom. If a degree of peace and quiet is required then this tucked away room is the bedroom of choice. It’s all about the potential to upgrade, personalise and add value. Light and spacious, it’s been tenanted for some time and now needs a little TLC and that personal touch. Step Outside No.3 definitely offers kerb appeal. The in and out driveway and integral double garage together offer ample space for cars. The setting is attractive with an established garden with mature trees and planted borders. At the back of the house there’s a fenced and generously sized L shaped rear garden with a super sunny and southerly aspect. Mainly laid to lawn with a large, paved seating area it’s ideal for family time and get togethers with friends. There are mature trees and planting, a useful wooden shed for those gardening essentials. Included in the sale Fitted carpets, light fittings, Belling range cooker and Hotpoint dishwasher.
