A rare and distinguished opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Lancashire history.

Welcome to Lostock Hall Gatehouse - a breathtaking Grade II listed residence believed to date back to the late sixteenth century. Rich in heritage and architectural significance, this extraordinary home has been thoughtfully enhanced over time to introduce refined modern comforts while preserving the heart and character of its original period detailing. The result is an exceptional fusion of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury, seldom found and even more rarely offered to the market.

Welcome Home

Set behind imposing electric gates and nestled on an outstanding plot of just under three quarters of an acre, Lostock Hall Gatehouse occupies one of Lostock’s most exclusive and highly sought-after addresses. Situated at the end of Ox Hey Lane and approached via a private road off Chorley New Road, the property offers complete seclusion, tranquillity and distinction.

A sweeping driveway provides multi-vehicle parking and immediately sets the tone: Peaceful surroundings, mature trees, manicured lawns and gardens that stretch beautifully across the plot. Designed to be enjoyed in every season, the grounds offer the perfect balance between grandeur and practicality - ideal for alfresco dining, elegant garden parties or a private haven for children to explore.

Living Arrangements

The property is thoughtfully divided into two detached buildings, offering unparalleled versatility and scope for multi-generational living, business use, leisure space or guest accommodation.

The main residence showcases all the character and craftsmanship expected of a home of this era. Original stone frontage, charming mullion windows, feature fireplaces, exposed beams and expansive rooms combine to create an atmosphere that is both historic and deeply inviting.

The ground floor features two impressive reception rooms, each exuding period warmth, along with a beautifully presented country-style kitchen with a range of base and eye-level units. A handy cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.

Across the first and second floors, the sense of space and refined quality continues.

The Second Building
