5 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Whalley, Ribble Valley BB7

An architecturally distinctive residence of Swedish design, this remarkable family home occupies a prestigious position within the Ribble Valley, just a short walk from the heart of Whalley village. Constructed in the mid-1980s and set within grounds approaching a quarter of an acre, the property enjoys breathtaking views towards Whalley Nab, combining a rare level of privacy, space, and elegance in one of the area’s most desirable locations.

Approached via electric gates and a sweeping stone-chipped driveway, the home is enhanced by beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens and ample parking, including an integral garage and a two-bay car port. Extending to circa 2,821 sq ft (excluding garage and car port), the property has been thoughtfully designed and appointed, offering both versatility and refinement across its two floors.

The entrance hallway immediately sets the tone – spacious and inviting, with a staircase rising to the first floor. Double doors open into a striking living room, where full-length windows and sliding doors frame uninterrupted views towards Whalley Nab and fill the space with natural light. A feature multi-fuel stove with stone surround provides a focal point, while further double doors lead through to the formal dining room, complete with oak flooring and an effortless flow into the breakfast kitchen.

The bespoke kitchen, crafted by Secret Drawer of Skipton, is a showcase of artisanal quality and practical design. Handmade cabinetry is complemented by granite work surfaces, glass splashbacks, and a stone tiled floor with underfloor heating. A Britannia range with induction hob, integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, Miele ovens (including microwave combination), dishwasher, Quooker hot tap, Franke water filter, and waste disposal all feature, alongside a central island unit with granite top – creating a kitchen perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. A well-appointed utility room off the dining provides additional storage, appliance space, and internal access to the garage.

The ground floor also offers exceptional flexibility, with a multi-purpose bedroom/snug ideally suited for a dependent relative, teenager, or additional reception space. This comprises a generous family/bedroom with fitted bookcase, walk-in wardrobe, and stunning views, together with a contemporary en-suite shower room featuring rainfall shower, vanity wash basin, WC, tiled flooring, and underfloor heating. A stylish two-piece cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, a spacious hipped-roof landing with Velux window leads to three further double bedrooms, all fitted with wardrobes and home office/bedroom five. The principal suite enjoys both a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious five-piece en-suite bathroom, appointed with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, his-and-hers basins, freestanding bath with shower attachment, rainfall shower enclosure, WC, and underfloor heating. Bedroom two also boasts a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom with bath, separate rainfall shower, and travertine basin, which could easily serve as the house bathroom if required. Bedroom three is another generous double with fitted storage, while a dedicated office with bespoke fitted furniture completes the first floor – a versatile space that could equally serve as a fifth bedroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The private, stone-walled south-facing garden to the front has been thoughtfully landscaped, featuring a substantial stone-flagged patio and pathways, spacious manicured lawn area, and mature planting of trees and shrubs around the borders of the gardens and grounds creating a great sense of privacy. Electric gates provide access to the sweeping driveway, which in turn leads to the two-bay car port and integral garage, complete with power, lighting, Worcester boiler, and MegaFlo water system.

Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Whalley’s vibrant village centre, renowned schools, train station, and boutique amenities, this is a home that effortlessly balances architectural individuality, flexible family living, and a setting of outstanding natural beauty. Properties of this calibre, design, and location are rarely offered to market – an early viewing is essential to appreciate all that is on offer.
