Paddys Nook, Upholland, WN8 9QJ

10 Acre Equestrian Smallholding | Stables | Character Cottage | Outstanding Views

A rare opportunity to acquire Paddy's Nook, a truly unique lifestyle property comprising a charming three-bedroom stone cottage, approximately 10 acres of land, established equestrian facilities and some of the most breath-taking panoramic views in West Lancashire.

Dating back to 1851 and forming part of the historic Higher Pimbo Farm, Paddy's Nook is named after a 19th-century farmhand who once called it home. Rich in history and character, the property occupies an elevated, private setting with far-reaching views across open countryside towards Haigh, Winter Hill, the Welsh Hills, Liverpool and even the coastline beyond. Despite its peaceful location, Upholland railway station, local amenities and excellent motorway links are all within easy reach.

For those seeking an equestrian lifestyle, this is a property that is rarely available. Approximately 5 acres of well-maintained grazing land, divided into three paddocks, are complemented by an excellent range of outbuildings including a 42ft covered yard, four stables, a double stable/tack room, garage, 24ft field shelter and log store, providing an ideal setup for horse owners, smallholders or anyone looking to enjoy country living with space to grow.

Beyond the paddocks, the remaining land comprises mature woodland and part of the historic Pimbo Bushes, offering peaceful walks, bluebell displays, an abundance of wildlife and a wonderful sense of privacy. The grounds also feature an orchard with cherry, apple, pear and damson trees, mature oak trees and generous outdoor spaces perfect for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the spectacular surroundings.

The characterful stone cottage has been sympathetically improved while retaining its period charm. The accommodation includes a welcoming lounge centred around a log-burning stove, a traditional kitchen with a Rayburn, utility room, boot room and a versatile additional reception room offering excellent potential. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with patio doors opening onto a private balcony, perfectly positioned to make the most of the outstanding views. A beautifully renovated family bathroom completes the accommodation, while externally a raised decking area with hot tub provides the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Further enhancing the property's appeal are a range of energy-efficient features including a 5kW grid-connected wind turbine generating approximately £2,400 per annum, a 5kW solar panel system, recently installed air source heat pump, upgraded insulation and a direct mains pressure hot water system.

Offering an exceptional combination of land, equestrian facilities, character and unrivalled countryside views, Paddy's Nook represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of West Lancashire's most distinctive lifestyle properties. Early viewing is essential to fully appreciate everything this remarkable home has to offer.
