Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane is this tranquil and picturesque getaway, perfect for a break away to enjoy the surrounding countryside and the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all with the convenience of having Blackburn and Preston close at hand if needed. Located within the grounds of the owners properties, the building would have originally been stables before they were sympathetically converted to a very high standard, retaining plenty of character whilst offering modern home comforts for a high-end luxury holiday at any time of year. Downstairs, a light and spacious open-plan living area welcomes you, with comfortable sofa and armchair, smart TV, and the log-burner making a lovely feature in the space. An initial basket of logs are provided for you, so you can get that cosy glow straightaway! The kitchen and dining area are immaculate and very well equipped, with everything you need to create your favourite holiday meals, including dishwasher, fridge-freezer, full oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle and toaster. . There is also a washing machine for convenience if needed. Upstairs, there are 2 separate bedrooms both with tasteful and stylish décor. The master has a super king-size bed, ample storage and a views out over the fields. The second bedroom offers great flexibility, with a full size single bed, and then the option of having an extra trundle bed if required, suitable to sleep a child. The bathroom is smart and modern, being fully tiled with a very generous sized walk-in shower enclosure complete with a large rainfall showerhead, basin and WC. Outside, there is an open courtyard area to the front, and ample private parking for up to 2 cars nearby.
