Description
A Private Lancashire Lifestyle Estate of Exceptional Quality
Set within approximately 5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, equestrian stables and paddocks, Heapey Fold Estate Barn represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional contemporary country residence in one of Lancashire’s most desirable semi-rural settings.
Approached via a long private gated driveway, the property enjoys complete privacy and commanding 360-degree views across open countryside, whilst remaining exceptionally well connected to Manchester, Preston and the wider North West motorway network.
Originally converted with an emphasis on architectural integrity and modern luxury, the stone barn now offers approximately 3,886 sq ft of impeccably presented accommodation, combining timeless character with sophisticated contemporary living set within a wildlife haven.
The heart of the home is an outstanding open-plan solid oak with marble kitchen and dining space designed for modern family life and entertaining, complemented by a series of elegant reception rooms including formal and informal living spaces, a playroom/home office, a fully equipped private gymnasium and fabulous multimedia lounge.
The accommodation extends to six bedrooms, including four luxurious en-suites, together with a beautifully appointed principal bathroom, creating a highly flexible layout suited to families, multi-generational living or executive lifestyles.
Externally, the estate has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both lifestyle and leisure. Formal south facing gardens flow into paddocks and mature landscaped grounds, whilst expansive stone terraces, a raised covered entertaining deck, summer house , large pond and fountain create a resort-style setting rarely found in the local market.
A particularly valuable feature of the estate is the existing planning permission for an additional circa 1,500 sq ft single storey building offering exceptional flexibility for guest accommodation, dependent relatives, home working, wellness facilities or ancillary leisure use, subject to the necessary consents.
