Entering the property through the Porch there is an original datestone of 1693, through into the Living Room which enjoys a stunning dual aspect from the front corner, pleasant views to the rear and warmed by the wood burning stove with original stone surround.
In the spacious Dining Room there is an additional multi-fuel stove again with original fireplace and access to the Kitchen. Back within the Dining Room, there are stairs leading to the first floor.
With convenient access from both the front entrances and rear Utility Room, there are exposed ceiling beams akin to the two reception rooms, stone flagged floor and ample fitted units at base and eye level. There is plumbing for a dishwasher, electric hob and electric oven.
From the large Utility Room/ Boot Room where the central heating boiler is housed, there is internal access to the former garage which is now useful storage. As this was formally a playroom also, it is the ideal for a conversion to an extra downstairs reception room.
Ascending to the first floor, there are five to six bedrooms depending on use and should one prefer an office/study for home-working. The bedrooms are all well-proportioned and one has an en-suite shower room. There are two separate bathrooms, one comprising four piece suite and the other a three piece suite. Outstanding elevated views are enjoyed from the first floor windows.
Externally the property enjoys right of way along the private access to two other properties from the main road, turning into the private driveway which offers ample space for parking. There is a useful stone built outbuilding/store to the right hand side and there are well presented lawned areas. There is a good curtilage to the rear which we understand is negotiable subject to reasonable and mutually satisfactory negotiation.
Despite the more rural location, the property is within a short driving distance of the market towns of Clitheroe and Longridge as well as the bustling village of Whalley where a host of extensive facilities and amenities are available. There are excellent commuting routes across the whole of Lancashire on towards the West Coast to enjoy places such as the seaside town of Lytham St Annes. Additionally, there's a simple access to Manchester via the 31a junction between Longridge and Preston as well as an easy commute to Yorkshire. Outstanding options for Schooling are within the local area, making this the ideal Family Home.
The property is located by proceeding through Chaigley along Chipping Road, turning off left into Thornley Road and the access to Rakefoot House will be on your left hand side.
