For a country getaway with family or friends, this traditional Lancashire farmhouse in the Ribble Valley combines beautiful antique furniture with all the comforts of contemporary living. Relax in the hot tub, enjoy fabulous views from the raised terrace, sip cocktails in the outdoor bar or snuggle by the wood burner - this really is a magical destination.
Exposed beams and flagstone floors provide the backdrop to a mix of modern and traditional styles. Enjoy delicious meals in the huge kitchen/diner, which includes a seating area with a wood burner with armchairs. After supper head into the cosy lounge, gather around its wood burner and play games, read or watch the Smart TV. You’ll find the utility room indispensable, with its laundry area, wine rack, fridge/freezer and space for outdoor wear and pet beds. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom and a separate WC, while the other three bedrooms are on the first floor. The super-king-size room (twin on request) has a sofa and Smart TV as well as an en-suite bathroom/dressing room, while the king-size and family room (with three single beds) share a marble bathroom. The outside spaces here are magnificent, including a hot tub, a large garden, and a stone patio that spans the width of the house. This extends into a raised terrace with plenty of room for outdoor dining. The garden bar offers a sheltered space for entertaining, and there’s also a wooded area bordering a stream.
This lovely property lies on the edge of Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoy walks or bike rides through green fells and ancient woodland, which lie just steps away from the cottage, passing through surrounding open farmland and quiet lanes. A variety of cycle routes are also within easy reach.
