5 bed detached house for sale

Oak Close, Whalley, Ribble Valley BB7

An exceptional five-bedroom detached family residence, occupying one of the most impressive plots on the highly sought-after Calderstones Park development in Whalley. Set within beautifully landscaped gardens and enjoying a private corner position, the property commands far-reaching westerly views across open fields towards Longridge Fell and Dunsop Bridge – an idyllic setting rarely found within a development of this nature.

Meticulously maintained and extensively upgraded in recent years, the property combines modern finishes with versatile living spaces designed around family lifestyles. Tiled bathrooms, open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge areas, together with multiple reception rooms, provide both style and practicality. In addition, the ground floor has been thoughtfully extended to create further accommodation, currently arranged as a generous home office with its own independent access. This versatile suite is ideally suited to those seeking a dedicated workspace or wishing to operate a small business from home, and with its private entry lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses.

Extending to approximately 3,226 sq ft (including garage), the accommodation flows effortlessly across two floors.

The welcoming entrance hallway is finished with slate tiled flooring and features a return staircase, under-stairs storage, and a stylish two-piece cloakroom. The spacious living room, with its feature log-burning stove and French doors opening onto the rear garden, creates a warm and inviting family and entertaining space. A further office or studio lies adjacent, incorporating the single-storey extension, filled with natural light and offering excellent flexibility for private or professional use.

To the rear, the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and snug. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, this light-filled space is fitted with an extensive range of base and eye-level units with black granite work surfaces, complemented by a central island with oak breakfast bar. Quality appliances include a Neff induction hob with extractor, Hotpoint double oven, integrated fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. Amtico herringbone flooring adds elegance throughout, flowing into the snug where a bespoke media wall with fitted shelving and cabinetry completes the space. Crittall French doors and a striking feature window flood the area with natural light and open directly onto the garden.

The first-floor galleried landing leads to the house bathroom and five generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite facilities. The principal suite is a luxurious retreat, featuring a dressing room, fitted wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite with walk-in rainfall shower, wall-mounted WC, and vanity wash basin. A second large bedroom, located above the garage, also benefits from its own en-suite and dressing area, currently used as a small office. The remaining bedrooms are well-sized and enjoy pleasant aspects and excellent privacy, while the family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite comprising a freestanding bath, rainfall shower cubicle, vanity wash basin, and wall-mounted WC, all finished with elegant tiling and feature lighting.

The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide year-round enjoyment. To the side, a west-facing garden offers multiple patio and seating areas – the perfect spot to enjoy afternoon and evening sunsets over the surrounding farmland. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a further patio, mature tree-lined borders for privacy, and gated side access to the front, where a four-car driveway leads to the attached double garage with twin up-and-over doors.
