A Georgian house in the heart of the Ribble Valley is our property of the week and currently one of the most expensive houses in Lancashire on the market
Whins House is for sale in Sabden for £3 million. Dating back to 1798, it is steeped in history.
According to estate agent Savills, it is considered “one of the most attractive houses in the area”.
It offers stunning countryside views and a “beautifully landscaped garden” in a rural setting. And as if that wasn’t enough, there is a barn to convert and parkland next to the house.
Although it has been renovated to meet the needs of a modern buyer and includes its own cinema room, the property has also retained many of its original period features including carved stone fireplaces, ceiling roses and sash windows.
The house is ideal for large families and has seven bedrooms and space for a study.
The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, all with en-suite bathrooms, as well as a separate laundry room. The second floor includes a fifth bedroom with en-suite shower room.
The property is ideal for entertaining and even has its own cinema and games room, both located on the second floor.
Down in the basement there is the boiler room and a wine cellar, perfect for a little after-work treat.
There is an inner hallway with a comfortable sitting area, ideal if you want to cozy up, and a door leading into the family kitchen and living room.
And as if that wasn’t enough, there is also a cottage on the 1.1 ha plot. It consists of a living room, a kitchen and a toilet. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. It is ideal for guests.
In front of the house there is a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles.
Directly behind the property there is an attractive lawn and box hedge garden with a patio area paved with stone slabs, perfect for barbecues in the summer.
The garden also features decorative lawns, an orchard and various trees.
Charlie Kannreuther, estate agent at Savills, said: “The views from this impressive and beautifully maintained home are spectacular in all directions and the cottage offers excellent additional living space with income potential.”
