6 bedroom house

Set on the lower slopes of Longridge Fell and overlooking the beautiful Forest of Bowland, with stunning 360 degree panoramic views from Pendle Hill to Parlick Fell, you will truly love this unique detached six-bedroom farmhouse. Boasting traditional architecture and retaining many original features including pitch pine window surrounds, and sills, latched doors, exposed stone walls, stone flag floors, exposed beamed ceilings and stone inglenook fireplaces, this is a dream country home to suit a variety of buyers.

Set within a hamlet of three residences in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Rakefoot House enjoys a spectacular 0.5 acre plot. It comprises a spacious detached, six-bedroom stone-built farmhouse, separate stone-built, multi-use stable block (8.41m x 5.07m), stone-built garden store, generous gardens and paddock. The property provides spectacular views of open countryside from all aspects and through every window, yet is only a short drive from the market towns of Clitheroe to the east and Longridge and the motorway network to the south and west. Nearby transport links include the Preston train line with direct links to Manchester and London. With several outstanding schools on its doorstep, it really does provide the best of both worlds. It is approached by a privately owned road with access for only two other properties, leading up to its own separate tarmacadam private driveway with ample parking for multiple cars and with the potential to create more garden space and seating areas to enjoy the open, stunning views.

There is an option to purchase additional land by separate negotiation.
