About this home

Occupying a substantial corner plot in the highly desirable semi-rural location of Higher Bartle, The Old Smithy is a characterful five bedroom detached family home offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout. Combining old-world charm with practical modern living, this impressive property provides an abundance of space for growing families whilst enjoying attractive surrounding gardens and excellent outdoor facilities.

The welcoming entrance hall leads into the heart of the home, where a spacious open plan reception room creates a wonderful living and entertaining space, complemented by a feature staircase rising to the first floor. A separate dining room offers the ideal setting for formal occasions, whilst the superb kitchen breakfast room is perfectly designed for modern family life. The kitchen area features a range of fitted units and integrated appliances, with a delightful seating area to the rear enjoying views over the gardens through double doors. A practical utility room and ground floor WC add further convenience, whilst a versatile ground floor bedroom offers flexibility to be used as a home office, study, playroom or guest accommodation depending on individual requirements.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The impressive master suite benefits from a generous walk-in wardrobe and a private en suite bathroom complete with a separate shower, creating a luxurious retreat for the home-owners. The remaining bedrooms are all of good size and provide comfortable accommodation for family members or guests.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained gardens that make the most of its corner plot position. Directly accessed from the kitchen is an enclosed seating area, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond this lies a delightful raised garden, offering an excellent space for children to play and for keen gardeners to enjoy, whilst a detached garage and driveway situated to the side provide ample off-road parking and secure storage.

Set within a sought-after residential location with a pleasant semi-rural feel, yet remaining convenient for Preston, transport links and local amenities, The Old Smithy presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home full of character, flexibility and charm. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation, gardens and enviable setting on offer.
