Client's Perspective
This house was developed by ourselves in 1993, although parts were formally a Smithy and Farriers dating back to the 18th century. It has been our family home ever since.
We enjoy both the indoor and the outdoor spaces here, with the flexible kitchen/dining/living area being the heart of the home. The wonderful log burner in the main sitting room is welcoming, especially on a chilly evening.
The outdoor patio and garden has been essential for hosting BBQ’s, parties and great get togethers with both family and friends.
After recent development, we are now part of a lovely community hamlet, with the convenience of Ye Horns Inn Restaurant and Public house being a stones through away.
Location is key and we have wonderful countryside around us, but also the benefits of Longridge and Goosnargh within a couple of miles.
Both the M6 and M55 are only 15mins away making travel to anywhere very accessible.
This home has both space and character and our time here has been very happy. We hope the next owners will enjoy it as much as we have.
