Description
Recognised as one of West Lancashire's finest barn conversions, Poachers Barn forms part of an exclusive conversion of an 18th-century stone farmhouse and traditional barns, occupying a beautiful rural setting along one of Dalton's most picturesque lanes.
The largest property within the development, this exceptional home combines timeless character with contemporary luxury, offering four spacious bedrooms, outstanding living space and a superb plot surrounded by open countryside.
Meticulously restored with an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship, the interior seamlessly blends original beams, exposed stonework and dramatic vaulted ceilings with stylish modern finishes. A stunning reception hall with feature barn window sets the tone, flowing effortlessly into a beautifully appointed family kitchen and formal dining area. At the heart of the home, a striking stone fireplace with double-sided wood burner links the dining room and impressive lounge, whilst an oak-framed garden room with bi-fold doors and a wood-burning stove provides a wonderful space for year-round entertaining. The handcrafted kitchen, finished in elegant Farrow & Ball tones, features marble and oak worktops, a range cooker and exposed beams, perfectly balancing practicality and style. The flexible layout includes two ground-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom and utility room, whilst upstairs a luxurious principal suite with fitted wardrobes and ensuite is complemented by a further bedroom or home office.
Outside, the property enjoys a private and generous plot with mature gardens, extensive lawns and stone-flagged patios ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A detached garage with adjoining store room offers additional versatility and potential workspace, while a private driveway provides ample parking.
Despite its idyllic rural setting, Dalton remains exceptionally convenient for Parbold and Appley Bridge, both offering excellent schools, shops, restaurants, railway stations and easy access to the motorway network, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy country living without compromise.
