About this property
Set in the heart of Fence village, this gorgeous converted chain free semi-detached barn offers character, space and a brilliant village lifestyle, with local pubs and the renowned Michelin-starred White Swan close by.
The home is arranged with upside-down living, placing the main reception spaces on the first floor to make the most of the elevated countryside views. At the top of the staircase, a versatile living area features exposed stone and a low-level glazed opening within the original barn door feature, creating a striking link to the property’s heritage.
The open-plan kitchen dining space is a fantastic sociable area, the main living room is equally impressive, with dual aspect windows, feature stone window sills and a wood burning stove forming a lovely focal point.
The ground floor layout is completed by three bedrooms, a useful utility room and a sun room positioned to the rear. The utility room is already fitted with plumbing for laundry appliances, but also offers excellent flexibility and could be easily converted back into a fourth bedroom, en suite or dressing room if preferred.
A recently fitted main family bathroom serves this level, finished with a modern suite and walk-in shower, adding a sleek and practical finish to the ground floor accommodation.
There is a large attic space covering the whole footprint, that could easily convert into another couple of rooms (subject to the relevant permissions).
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking, a south facing garden, solar panels with battery storage and gas central heating. The location offers village living with countryside walks nearby, bus routes close at hand, and Padiham town centre and Barrowford both within around a 10-minute drive for local independent shops, cafés and amenities.
