Exuding charm and style in abundance, this stunning Grade II listed detached barn conversion has been a real labour of love, its award-winning design providing a perfect lesson in how to blend character and contemporary flair. From what was once a building designed for function over aesthetics, a supremely elegant home has been created, offering all the modern appointments required of a property in the 21st century, whilst retaining the rustic accents which provide that desired originality and panache. This unique home is nestled at the heart of the West Lancashire Countryside in picturesque Lathom, a delightful rural outpost renowned for its luxury country homes and peaceful setting, yet within easy reach of a broad range of amenities within the historic market town of Ormskirk, with its eclectic array of boutique and high street shops, bars and eateries, as well as excellent transport links via rail and road for those wishing to travel further afield, ensuring major commercial centres such as Liverpool and Manchester are within a reasonable commute. The property takes full advantage of its beautiful setting, boasting stunning views over the surrounding countryside, giving a real sense of privacy and seclusion. With a property of such size and quality it would be an almost impossible task to isolate one feature or highlight which makes this home so special; the plethora of character features which include vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and distressed brickwork, give this home a real sense of history and personality, whilst the profusion of space is accentuated by a wonderfully open and thoughtfully laid-out floor plan which lends itself perfectly to modern family living. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room creates a delicious hub of the home, a fabulously sociable space in which all generations can gather together to share stories of the day; fitted with an extensive range of two tone wall and base units with contrasting Corian work surfaces and comprehensively equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including Range-style cooker with overhead extractor canopy, American-style fridge/freezer and coffee machine. A breakfast bar creates a perfect spot for a quick bite to eat before the school run, whilst there is space for a dining table for more formal occasions, with the feature glazed wall into the reception hall sure to provide a talking point during those intimate dinner parties. The extravagant master bedroom is luxuriously spacious with beautiful exposed beams and an en-suite shower room, whilst the ground floor bathroom is a real treat, finished with slate tiling to the walls and floor with inset mood lighting and fitted with a contemporary four piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin, bath and separate wet room-style shower. For many, however, the simply breath-taking reception hall opening into the lounge will be the ultimate highlight, with its stunning vaulted ceiling and gallery creating a real sense of drama and grandeur; flooded with natural light via the plethora of windows and complete with the traditional solid-fuel burner, a must for any home of this type, and just perfect for those cosy Winter nights in front of the fire. In its entirety, the accommodation briefly comprises, to the ground floor, reception hallway, opening into the lounge, sitting room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, two bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst to the first floor there is a galleried landing providing access to a further four bedrooms, three en-suite shower rooms and a further family bathroom. Externally, the substantial private plot is sure to be a huge hit with the children, with extensive lawned areas bordering open countryside providing endless opportunities to explore, whilst to the front the property is approached via electronically operated gates leading to a large shingled courtyard and the attached single garage. Viewing of this exceptional home is highly recommended to appreciate all that it has to offer.
