Description

A Truly Unique Barn Conversion | Three Bedrooms | Approx. Half an Acre | Detached Double Garage | Exceptional Potential | Beautiful Countryside Setting

Meadowcroft House is a truly one-off property, occupying a peaceful countryside setting on the edge of Goosnargh, yet conveniently positioned for Preston, excellent local schools and major transport links.

Set back from Whittingham Lane, this impressive three-bedroom detached barn conversion offers an exceptional combination of character, space and privacy, surrounded by beautiful countryside and enjoying a lovely rural outlook.

Approached via a shared driveway serving a small number of properties, Meadowcroft House is tucked away in a wonderfully peaceful position, with the surrounding countryside providing a beautiful backdrop. The mature gardens extend to approximately half an acre and include a charming natural pond, creating a tranquil setting in which to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

One of the property's standout features is the detached double garage. Generously proportioned and separate from the main house, it offers far more than simply secure parking. The space provides excellent potential for a substantial workshop, home gym, studio, home office or recreational space, subject to any necessary planning consents. It also provides excellent storage and parking for those with multiple vehicles, hobbies or equipment. This is a particularly valuable feature and one which is rarely found with a property of this nature.

Inside, the house retains the character and individuality you would expect from a barn conversion while providing generous and versatile accommodation. The three bedrooms are all well proportioned, while two reception rooms provide excellent flexibility for modern family living, entertaining or working from home.

The interiors are light, spacious and welcoming, with the accommodation designed to make the most of the property's wonderful setting. There is a lovely balance between the character of the original building and the comforts expected from a high-quality modern home.

Outside, the gardens are a real feature. Mature planting, lawns and the natural pond create an established and private environment, with the surrounding countryside providing a beautiful outlook and access to lovely walks close by.

Despite its peaceful rural feel, Meadowcroft House is exceptionally well placed for everyday convenience. Goosnargh and nearby Longridge provide a range of local amenities, while Preston city centre is readily accessible. The property is also well positioned for access to the M6 and wider motorway network, making it ideal for those who need to commute while still wanting to come home to a quieter countryside setting.

There are also a number of well-regarded schools within the surrounding area, making the property particularly appealing to families.

Meadowcroft House is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely individual home in an enviable countryside setting, with substantial gardens, a detached double garage and exciting potential to further utilise the space available.

Properties of this nature rarely come to the market and viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, accommodation, gardens and the considerable potential this exceptional home has to offer.
