4 bedroom farm house for sale

Forbes Estates are delighted to present Bannisters farmhouse, a charming and characterful detached four-bedroom residence dating back to the 17th century. Set within approximately half an acre of beautiful gardens, this superb family home offers a rare blend of historical charm, generous living space, and breathtaking countryside views all within a private setting. Located in the sought-after semi-rural village of Withnell, and surrounded by some of Lancashires finest landscapes, this property offers an idyllic lifestyle with easy access to nearby amenities. The home is approached via a private driveway providing excellent curb appeal and ample parking for several vehicles, complemented by an exceptional private rear parking courtyard with previous planning permission for a double garage. A useful garden room/outbuilding and expansive lawns with stunning views complete the picturesque setting. Internally, the home retains much of its original character while offering modern comfort and flexibility. Enter through the porch into a welcoming entrance hallway, which leads into the dining room, beautifully finished with exposed stone walls and wooden beams, perfect for entertaining. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan lounge, featuring a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space for family gatherings. A separate family/games room with a feature bay window overlooking the side garden provides additional flexible living space. The spacious kitchen/diner boasts a generous selection of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and ample room for family dining. A separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer offers further storage, a secondary sink, and space for coats and boots, with a charming stable door leading out to the rear courtyard. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. The first-floor landing with its wooden spindle balustrade leads to four well-appointed double bedrooms, each offering generous proportions and countryside views. The master bedroom with vaulted ceiling features a large under-eaves storage area, ideal for additional storage solutions. The accommodation is served by both a stylish three-piece family bathroom, complete with a traditional roll-top bath, and a separate spacious and modern shower room with a large walk-in shower.

Externally, the grounds are equally impressive - approximately half an acre. To one side, a flagged cottage-style garden features mature borders and trees, while to the rear, a large lawned garden and raised stone patio provide ideal areas for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the open panoramic views. A substantial summer house with stone foundations adds to the idyllic lifestyle appeal of this truly unique property. Also benefits from a EV car charger, log store and garden shed.

There is a primary school located in the village and a coach service to other good local schools, plus excellent access to the M65, M6, and M61, making this tranquil setting perfectly connected for commuting.
