Description

This exceptional barn conversion offers the opportunity to acquire a beautifully transformed home in a desirable semi-rural location on the edge of Rainford village. Set amidst picturesque countryside with scenic walking routes nearby, the property enjoys a peaceful and private setting while maintaining convenient commuter access to surrounding towns and amenities.

Positioned within a small, select courtyard development of just two other bespoke conversions, the home is approached via electric gates opening onto a private courtyard, offering a sense of security and exclusivity.

Upon entering, a spacious reception hall sets the tone for the home, featuring a striking chandelier and a staircase leading to the first floor. To the left, the kitchen forms the heart of the home, complete with a central island and contrasting granite work surfaces. Combining style and practicality, it provides an excellent space for cooking, dining, and socialising.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the orangery and family room, featuring underfloor heating and a central roof lantern that fills the space with natural light. Two sets of bifold doors open onto the porcelain paved terraces, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The orangery also provides access to the formal lounge, a beautifully presented space with a feature fireplace.

From the lounge, a further reception room currently styled as a bar and entertainment space can be accessed. This room features tiled flooring, bespoke mood lighting, and additional bifold doors leading to the garden, making it ideal for hosting and relaxation.

To the first floor, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms. Three of the four bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, while the principal suite includes a generous walk-in dressing room with potential for ensuite conversion if desired. The family bathroom is fully tiled and finished to a high specification, featuring a jacuzzi bath and stylish his and hers sinks.

The enclosed south east facing garden provides a well-designed outdoor space. A generous porcelain paved terrace serves as the main focus, offering a low-maintenance area perfect for outdoor living, dining, and entertaining. A small, neatly maintained lawn adds a touch of greenery, complemented by mature planting that enhances privacy.

Additional features include solar panels, underfloor heating in the family room, central heating, secure intercom entry, and an electric vehicle charging point. Extensive forecourt parking and visitor spaces add further convenience.

Blending architectural character with contemporary design, this barn conversion offers a rare combination of rural charm, privacy, and modern family living. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, space, and lifestyle on offer.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.
