Delph Lane, Bleasdale, Preston, Lancashire, PR3

This former farmhouse sits on approximately 8.64 acres within the tremendously-beautiful Forest of Bowland National Landscape. It is, accordingly, a haven of tranquility and yet only 7 miles from the facilities of the market town of Garstang, and within the delivery zone of several major supermarkets, including Waitrose. With easy access to the Ribble Valley and less than 8 miles from Junction 33 of the M6 and 11 miles from Junction 32, its connections are enhanced further by a super-fast fibre-optic broadband connection of 1Gbps (10Gbps available), making it ideal for home-working. The house was built in 1850, but completely renovated to an exceptionally high standard in late 2007.

The present owners’ architects designed the house to take full advantage of living in the country and the stunning views to be had from its elevated position looking across the coast and Morecambe Bay, towards the Lakeland Fells, the Isle of Man and Snowdonia. Within the two-acre woodland there is a stone shelter for picnics, with a view of the fells behind, or just for sitting quietly watching the abundant wildlife. Indeed, the grounds are a defining element of this property. The gardens extend over about an acre and include a huge diversity of wild plants as well as a bog garden, raised beds, orchard and wildlife pond. Another stone shelter offers a great space for barbecues and outdoor entertaining. With their passion for the environment and independent living, the owners have had installed several solar panels with a Tesla Powerwall storage battery, an electric car charging point and a private water supply. For walking enthusiasts, the estate directly opposite the long, private driveway to Rough Moor Farm, offers safe and traffic-free walking on its many public footpaths, as well as instant access to the fells.

The house itself has been designed for both entertaining and comfortable family living. Generous reception spaces include a substantial living room, a formal dining room and a garden room with amazing views, as well as an excellent and stylish kitchen and library/study. Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with multiple bedrooms, including a luxurious principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and adjacent dressing room or single bedroom. Other bedrooms offer flexibility for family and guests, and all enjoying the delightful views across to the Irish Sea.

Across the extensive yard comprising hydro-permeable HGV-proof cobbles lies another standout feature of this lovely home. The detached log cabin is constructed of substantial timber with underfloor and roof insulation, wifi, a living room and kitchen, bedroom, ensuite bathroom, gym, workshop and garage. The building could be perfectly suited for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or even business use (subject to the necessary planning consents).

The local primary school at Calder Vale is about a mile away and secondary education is available in Garstang, along with the health centre and three supermarkets. The Country Club and Village Hall of Calder Vale both offer a lively social scene, including film nights and concerts.

Rough Moor Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a premium, countryside home with exceptional views, substantial land and versatile accommodation, all within easy reach of Preston and the wider Lancashire region. The house is fully double-glazed and all fitted appliances, curtain poles, lights and carpets form part of the sale. Early viewing is highly recommended.
