Lowood is an exceptional detached family residence of considerable scale and distinction, extending to approximately 4,320 sq ft (including garage) of flexible and versatile living space, and occupying a commanding plot within one of Read’s most desirable residential settings. Situated on Whins Lane, a quiet and well-established road on the outskirts of the village, the property enjoys an elevated southerly aspect with far-reaching valley views and a tranquil sense of rural privacy, whilst remaining within easy reach of Whalley and the wider Ribble Valley.

Approached via impressive electric wrought-iron entrance gates, a sweeping block-paved driveway, offering parking for ten or more vehicles, leads past the double garage to the principal entrance. A stone-framed doorway opens into an expansive reception hall, finished with Amtico flooring and featuring two separate staircases rising to the first floor.

The ground-floor accommodation offers a superb balance of formal and informal living spaces. The snug provides an intimate retreat, while the dining room is a light-filled and spacious setting, comfortably accommodating a twenty-seat table, ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. Two ground-floor cloakrooms serve the reception areas, one housing one of the property’s three boilers and a hot water cylinder.

At the heart of the home lies the bespoke kitchen, appointed to an exceptional standard with granite work surfaces, grey base and eye-level cabinetry, and an array of Neff integrated appliances, including four ovens, two dishwashers, a five-ring gas hob with extractor, and provision for an American-style fridge/freezer. The large central island and breakfast bar, together with underfloor heating, ensure both comfort and practicality. To the rear, a sun room with uPVC French doors opens directly to the patio and gardens, while an adjoining games and living room features twin bay windows, a timber bar with storage, and a decorative central fireplace making it a relaxed and sociable family space.

To the opposite side of the entrance hall are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one fitted with bespoke wardrobes and furniture, together with an adjacent WC. An internal door provides access to the double garage and a utility room housing a further boiler and hot water cylinder.

The first floor is arranged to provide five double bedrooms, approached via the two separate staircases. The principal suite commands superb panoramic views across the valley and incorporates two dressing areas and a luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom. A further bedroom enjoys a dressing area and en suite shower room, while the remaining double bedrooms are served by a en suite shower room and large family bathroom with designer suites, all finished to a high contemporary standard.
