Detached house for sale in Whins Lane, Read, Ribble Valley BB12

Lot One - Houlkers Farmhouse

Situated above Whins Lane, the farmhouse is a handsome semi-detached property dating back to the 16th Century. It commands a fabulous position overlooking the village and southward across the Valley. It stands in a half acre plot comprising generous gardens to the front, side and rear and with further paddock land to the rear of the farmhouse and alongside Whins Lane (between the farmhouse and the old vicarage) where there is a detached timber garage. Full of character but in need of full modernisation, the house is Grade II listed owing to mullioned windows in the cellar / pantry.

It comprises kitchen, cellar / pantry, breakfast room, hallway and lounge on the ground floor. A beautiful oak staircase takes you up to the split landing on the first floor with three bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. The house has an approximate gia (gross internal area) of around 1612 sq.ft. (149.8 sq.m.) and has potential to extend to the sides and / or rear (subject to planning). It is a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful home in one of the oldest properties in the village.
