Forbes Estates are delighted to present Bannisters farmhouse, a charming and characterful detached four-bedroom residence dating back to the 17th century. Set within approximately half an acre of beautiful gardens, this superb family home offers a rare blend of historical charm, generous living space, and breathtaking countryside views all within a private and not overlooked setting. Located in the sought-after semi-rural village of Withnell, this property is situated on the edge of Withnell Fold, a model village and conservation area which includes an outstanding primary school and is in reach of excellent secondary schools and private schools. As well as canal and country-side walks, there is a sports and social club with tennis, cricket, and bowling, which holds community events throughout the year. Surrounded by some of Lancashire's finest landscapes, yet also part of a village community, this property offers an idyllic lifestyle with easy access to nearby amenities.

The home is approached via a private driveway providing excellent curb appeal and ample parking for several vehicles, complemented by an exceptional private rear parking courtyard with previous planning permission for a double garage. A useful garden room/outbuilding and expansive lawns with stunning views complete the picturesque setting. Internally, the home retains much of its original character while offering modern comfort and flexibility.

Enter through the porch into a welcoming entrance hallway, which leads into the dining room, beautifully finished with exposed stone walls and wooden beams, perfect for entertaining. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan lounge, featuring a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space for family gatherings. A separate family/games room with a feature bay window overlooking the side garden provides additional flexible living space. The spacious kitchen/diner boasts a generous selection of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and ample room for family dining. A separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer offers further storage, a secondary sink, and space for coats and boots, with a charming stable door leading out to the rear courtyard. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor. The first-floor landing with its wooden spindle balustrade leads to four well-appointed double bedrooms, each offering generous proportions and countryside views. The master bedroom with vaulted ceiling features a large under-eaves storage area, ideal for additional storage solutions. The accommodation is served by both a stylish three-piece family bathroom, complete with a traditional roll-top bath, and a separate spacious and modern shower room with a large walk-in shower.
