Walker Fold

Full description

***CHARACTER PROPERTY***Set within a superb rural position, the property comprises an attractive stone built 4/5 bedroom semi-detached barn conversion, including large gardens, driveway, open fronted garage/outbuilding and grassland paddock, all set in approx. 2.47 acres (0.99 hectares), or thereabouts.

The Old Barn provides for a spacious family property, offering a wealth of character throughout. The property will require a programme of modernisation and refurbishment works, however the property offers a fantastic opportunity for purchasers to place their own stamp onto the necessary renovations and complete the refurbishment to their own tastes and specifications.

This is a true lifestyle property and will be of interest to those who enjoy peaceful surroundings, require additional space or have equestrian/lifestyle farming interests. The property is positioned within a fantastic plot, nestled in the hamlet of Walker Fold and within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The main front door leads into a large spacious central hallway, being open to the eaves with full height windows, creating a large, open entrance. The hallway includes exposed timber beams and a staircase leading to the first floor. Leading off the hallway is the main lounge, dining kitchen and downstairs wc with wash hand basin.

The lounge includes large patio doors overlooking the front garden, filling the room with plenty of natural light. The room includes a central fireplace enclosing a log burning stove with tiled hearth and brick surround.

The kitchen diner includes windows to the rear elevation overlooking the rear access driveway and land beyond. The dining area sits separated from the main kitchen by a character former timber cattle boskin, with steps leading up to the kitchen. The kitchen includes base and wall mounted kitchen units with integrated sink and drainer unit, cream Rayburn stove, electric hob, microwave, fridge and freezer.

Leading off the kitchen is a utility, with further base and wall mounted units with integrated dishwasher and washing machine and tiled flooring throughout. A porch is positioned off the utility room and leads onto the rear driveway.

The living room includes patio sliding doors to the rear and a large window to the front overlooking the front garden and affording plenty of natural light. The room also includes a front door leading out to the front garden and a staircase leading to the first floor.

Also positioned off the kitchen is a double bedroom with built in wardrobe space and front window overlooking the front garden. The bedroom includes an ensuite including wc, sink and corner bath with shower over.

The property includes two staircases to the first floor, with the first staircase leading from the sitting room to a large landing area, with pitched ceiling roofs, exposed timber beams and exposed stone walls. Leading off the landing is a small hallway leading to a further bedroom with exposed timber beams and Velux, and a family bathroom including wc, wash hand basin and bath, with the room including exposed timber beams and under eave storage.

The second staircase leads off the main ground floor central hallway, with this staircase accessing a separate landing and two further bedrooms, both benefitting from Velux windows and exposed timber beam work. Leading off this second landing is a further bathroom with wc, sink and bath. The room includes a raised timber boarded area and timber boarded cupboard space.

The property is approached by a shared driveway leading off Chipping Road, with this shared driveway leading to a private driveway and the front of the storage building/garage to the rear of the property. This garage comprises an open fronted steel frame building under a mono-pitched tin sheet roof and concrete flooring.

The property includes a large front garden, predominantly laid to grass lawn with surrounding mature shrubs and flowering beds.

To the side is a paved patio seating area and a small stone outbuilding under a pitched stone flag roof, utilised for general garden storage purposes.

To the rear of the property is a grassland field parcel extending to approx. 2.17 acres, or thereabouts, with access to the land being gained off the private property driveway or off the shared driveway adjacent to Chipping road. This grassland offers superb opportunity for equestrian grazing or alternative amenity uses.
