Property description
Few properties have the ability to stir emotion and desire even before one takes a step through the threshold, yet the sheer beauty of this simply stunning Grade II listed stone-built lodge residence is almost overwhelming and certainly has that unique quality in abundance. As soon as one sets their eyes on this impossibly pretty home, its spellbinding beauty enchants the heart, the quintessential English country home, and as sublime a property as you are ever likely to find, this idyllic dwelling is the epitome of the chocolate box home, positively brimming with charm and personality and delivering a real lesson in marrying character with style, with our client’s fine eye and exacting standards, coupled with the highest quality of fixtures and fittings throughout, creating a supremely tasteful home. From the first step across the threshold it warms the soul with its inviting ambiance and quaint features, which include feature fireplaces, Gothic-style windows and traditional doors, whilst the outside space is just as heavenly as the interior, with extensive gardens extending to circa half an acre, where they meet the stunning surrounding countryside, creating a complete sense of privacy.
The property rests within the scenic village of Scarisbrick, an area renowned for its strong agricultural traditions and pretty countryside, and with an abundance of lovely country walks virtually on the door step. Despite the feeling of seclusion, the property is far from remote, with ease of access to the variety of shops and amenities within the historic market town of Ormskirk, as well as excellent transport links to surrounding towns via rail and road, ensuring major commercial centres such as Liverpool and Manchester are within a reasonable commute. The accommodation extends to in excess of 1,130 square feet, with the inviting 22’ open plan lounge/dining room greeting you at the door, a wonderfully sociable space which is just perfect for entertaining, its wooden flooring linking the two spaces perfectly, and the layout ensuring a seamless transition from the comfort of the lounge to the dinner table. The lounge area is lovely and bright, aided by the dual aspect windows which bathe the room in light, whilst the beautiful feature fireplace with its inset solid fuel burner, essential for a property of this type, infuses a warm and cosy ambiance which is just perfect for those cosy Winter nights in front of the fire. The dining area with its built-in storage cupboards and spindled staircase leads through into the delightful kitchen, a real triumph which blends character with contemporary flair, ensuring that all the modern appointments which are demanded in the 21st century are catered for, whilst being sympathetic and very much in keeping with the style of the property; fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units in duck egg blue with complimentary solid wood work surfaces, and equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including Rangemaster-style cooker with extractor canopy, fridge and freezer, all of which combine to create a true culinary treat which is sure to impress even the most fastidious of buyers. To the rear of the property one will discover a further reception room, a marvellous sitting room, which enjoys a simply heavenly aspect over the rear garden via the double glazed bi-folding doors, and it is easy to find oneself imagining stepping out onto the patio with a glass of Champagne during those long Summer evenings. The sumptuous bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation, being fully tiled and fitted with a traditional-style three piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC and free-standing roll-top claw foot bath with shower handset attachment.
If one ventures up to the first floor, the feeling of impress is sustained, with the bright landing providing access to the two gorgeous double bedrooms, both of which boast exposed floorboards, with the 14’ master bedroom enjoying another pretty dual aspect.
Externally, the simply stunning landscaped gardens are a joy to behold, the quintessential English country garden and a horticultural dream with a distinctive park-like quality. Being mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees, plants and shrubs, one can enjoy brunch or a relaxing glass of wine or two, after a tough day in the office, upon the circular decked seating area, which provides a real romantic setting where one never feels as though they are going to be disturbed, or perhaps upon the veranda of the superb timber studio, complete with power and light, which is a most welcome surprise offering potential for a number of uses; a summer house, workshop or perhaps a home office, for those requiring some space in which to work from home. We have no doubt that this outstanding and truly unique home will be in extremely high demand, and we would strongly recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment.
