3 Bedroom Barn Conversion

Holly Barn is a truly exceptional country home, offering the rare combination of a beautifully converted 17th-century stone barn, outstanding living accommodation and an idyllic rural setting with the additional benefit of a field of approximately 3/4 acre.

Sympathetically transformed to an exacting standard, this remarkable three-bedroom residence perfectly balances character and contemporary comfort. Exposed beams, original stonework, vaulted ceilings and traditional barn features blend effortlessly with modern finishes, creating a home that is both elegant and welcoming.

Enjoying a private position surrounded by rolling Lancashire countryside, Holly Barn offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find; peaceful, rural and picturesque, yet within easy reach of Lancaster, Garstang, Preston and the M6 motorway.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch before opening into the stunning breakfast kitchen, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed for both family living and entertaining, the kitchen features a comprehensive range of quality cabinetry, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster cooker and a substantial central island providing informal seating and excellent workspace. Natural light floods the room through its dual-aspect design, while an attractive internal mullion window offers a charming connection to the dining room beyond.

At the centre of the home sits the spacious dining room, providing the perfect setting for family gatherings and formal entertaining. A useful utility room, cloakroom and additional storage cupboard add practicality without compromising on style.

The magnificent living room is undoubtedly one of Holly Barn's most impressive spaces. Featuring a dramatic double-height vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walling, a multi-fuel stove and an impressive full-height barn window, it is a room that perfectly captures the character of the original building. Adding further appeal, the current owners have commissioned a range of attractive bespoke fitted storage units, creating a practical yet elegant focal point while maximising space and enhancing the room's overall design.

To the first floor, the original barn framework has been beautifully retained, with split-level landings adding architectural interest and character. The principal bedroom is a generous and peaceful retreat, enjoying triple-aspect countryside views and an attractive en-suite shower room. A spacious second bedroom features a dual aspect and a glazed mezzanine overlooking the living room, creating a unique and striking feature. The third bedroom is a charming room ideal for a child, guest accommodation or a home office. Completing the first floor is a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding claw-foot bath, separate shower and exposed beams, alongside a separate WC.

Externally, Holly Barn continues to impress. The beautifully maintained gardens are bordered by mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants, creating a peaceful haven to enjoy throughout the seasons. A private pebbled driveway leads to a detached stone-built garage with power and water connected, while a secluded rear courtyard provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A particularly attractive feature of the property is the additional field, extending to approximately 3/4 acre. Offering a wealth of potential for hobby farming, equestrian use, recreation or simply the enjoyment of owning a substantial piece of countryside, it enhances both the lifestyle appeal and long-term versatility of this unique home.

Occupying a sought-after position within the charming village of Forton, residents enjoy the best of both worlds; a peaceful rural environment with excellent local amenities, a well-regarded primary school, village cricket and bowling clubs, countryside walks and convenient access to larger centres including Garstang and Lancaster.

Holly Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully executed barn conversion with character, privacy, generous outdoor space and the added benefit of a substantial adjoining field
