Description
Occupying an elevated position along the highly regarded Harbour Lane, this substantial pair of attached country homes enjoy truly breath taking, far-reaching views across rolling Lancashire countryside. Set within approximately 3.2 acres, the properties offer a rare combination of space, flexibility and rural tranquillity, with the added benefit of extensive internal accommodation
The fantastic setting is both private and picturesque, with open fields stretching beyond the rear boundary and uninterrupted vistas visible from most rooms.
Harbour Lane is a sought-after rural address in Wheelton, known for its countryside setting while remaining conveniently placed for access to nearby towns, amenities and motorway networks. The position perfectly balances peaceful village living with commuter practicality and convenience.
Meadow House is a home of impressive proportions and has been thoughtfully designed by the current owners to create a free flowing family home which takes full advantage of its remarkable outlook.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms. The principal living room is particularly striking — a substantial dual-aspect space where expansive mullioned windows frame panoramic countryside views extending beyond Preston as far as the southern Lake District.
A further sitting room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, while the generous kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home, ideal for both everyday family life and larger gatherings.
A dedicated home office offers a convenient and practical area which is perfectly suited to home working, study or as an additional reception room.
To the first floor, four well-appointed bedrooms provide comfortable and versatile accommodation. The principal suite enjoys elevated rural views and en-suite facilities along with a walk in wardrobe and extensive storage space. A spacious and well appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, featuring fully tiled walls with spot lighting overhead. The sense of space, light and outlook continues throughout the upper level.
Adjoining yet entirely self-contained, Harbour Lane Cottage offers an exciting renovation opportunity for either additional living space, independent family accommodation or a high-quality rental or holiday investment (subject to relevant consents).
Originally serving as the farmhouse and dating back to 1789, the cottage retains generous proportions, with two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining area and a shower room to the ground floor. Upstairs can be found a family bathroom, two bedrooms and a central storage room which offers scope for reconfiguration to suit a purchasers requirements.
While requiring modernisation, the structure and setting provide an outstanding canvas for transformation, offering excellent proportions and enormous potential to create a charming and characterful home.
The gardens and land extend to approximately 3.2 acres, comprising formal gardens with open pasture to the rear that gently falls away to reveal breathtaking, uninterrupted views. There is the option to purchase additional land up to approximately 13.3 acres OTA.
Mature hedging and established boundaries provide privacy to the frontage, while the rear aspect opens dramatically onto rolling fields and distant horizons.
The grounds offer considerable scope for equestrian use, smallholding pursuits or further landscaping, allowing a purchaser to tailor the use to suit themselves.
To the front of the driveway can be found some useful traditional outbuildings offering practical storage and further scope for change of use to suit the purchasers needs.
