SELLER INSIGHT Crooklands is an attractive, red brick barn conversion and its welcoming ambience, and semi rural position, with countryside views, immediately appealed to the present owners. They had been living in a modern property and wanted a home with character. Crooklands ticked all their boxes and they have loved and enjoyed it for ten years. Crooklands is the ideal house for family life and with two sitting rooms people can find their own space when needed. The rooms tend to have a seasonal use. The winter lounge with an impressive inglenook and a multi fuel burner stove provides a relaxing, cosy winter retreat. The second lounge leads onto the courtyard and garden, and with the French doors open fills the room with summer light and a very positive atmosphere. Daily life centres on the spacious farmhouse kitchen where you can walk through to the breakfast area and appreciate views to neighbouring fields. The dining room comes into its own at Christmas when you can import a second table, and the extended family can enjoy a festive lunch. The light flooded house has a ground to roofline central window that floods the house with natural light. The owners love to take a glass of wine to the first floor landing and settle to watch the stunning sunset steal across the sky and countryside. It is the perfect way to end a stressful working day. The master bedroom has the same beautiful views which give the room a definite wow factor. The large garden wraps around the property and is a charming place to sit and savour the tranquil surroundings. For the owners it might be by the pond or the suntrap patio at the top of the garden. The house has an adjoining field which has been a much appreciated place to walk and spend time during the lockdown. Crooklands has a good location with Goosnargh, Broughton and Longridge all local villages for community activities and shops for daily needs, whilst the Barton Grange Garden Centre is the perfect place for lunch. The market town of Garstang and Preston city are both under half an hour away, and there is a good rail service from Preston into London Euston. The owners are sad to leave and take away many very happy memories, from the garden carpeted in springtime snowdrops to the house resplendent in Christmas decorations. It has been a very happy home.�* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
