SELLER INSIGHT

This three storey, grand family house is set back from the road and located within the centre of the small, but bustling, village of Chatburn. Its size, privacy, historic character, combined with such a location, alongside fabulous views across the East Lancashire countryside, was the idyllic location for its present owner who came to live here in 2004.

Built in 1880 the house was the subject of a major enhancement and modernisation in 2003, thereby adding to the comforts and luxuries of its original façade whilst, at the same time, embracing the history, individuality and grandeur of the house. The property contains many attractive historic features, not least of which are its stainedglass windows. Rooms are welcoming and spacious with high ceilings, each one having its own distinctive personality. The kitchen has been further enhanced with the addition of a year-round Orangery which, in turn, leads out to the formal gardens - an extremely sociable space when family and friends are around, especially during the summer months. The formal gardens are extremely attractive and their design ensures easy maintenance.

The property is just a gentle stroll into the village which contains several individual shops including an artisan butcher, together with good pubs and a well rated primary school. The historic market town of Clitheroe is just a five-minute drive away whic h contains a more comprehensive choice of amenities - The well-attended, traditional market has been held here since Norman times and has a wide range of produce available. Being located within the Ribble Valley, this is just another reason for choosing to live in this beautiful area, especially with its close proximity to the nearby Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The house has outgrown the requirements of its owner and it is time for another family to enjoy living here. It has been such an amazing family house for the children and grandchildren to enjoy, and the whole family will take away so many special memories of time spent here.”*
