Life at this Coach Road four-bed home must be like being in a bubble – elevated, quiet and peaceful with a tremendous view that changes with the seasons, the days and hours.
The house offers so much in terms of a lifestyle that it must be easy to spend days there without ever leaving the property.
Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village of Warton and then wide swathes of countryside stretch out in front flanked by the hills of the Forest of Bowland, Farleton Knott and Ingleborough.
At a distance as if in a model world, trains zip silently by, without a sound traffic journeys along the M6, the sheep and cattle graze in the fields, and in the far, far distance the wind turbines on Claughton Moor rotate.
But it’s not just the position that sets it apart. The architecture and high standard of finish are second to none. Completed in 2010, Greylands offers accommodation that has been skillfully designed to bring together fabulous space, wonderful light and an excellent and sociable layout that would eminently suit family life but could also appeal to a couple that want to embrace the space, have a pair of home offices and entertain friends and family on a glorious scale.
Accommodation is split over three floors with the front door opening to a stupendous open plan light and airy living space with seating area, dining space and a well-equipped kitchen, all backed up with a large and very practical utility room.
Bedrooms are divided over the ground and first floors, and there is an impressive principal bedroom suite with shower room, dressing room and private covered balcony. A second double bedroom also has an en suite shower room and private balcony.
There is an optional fifth bedroom or home study and a spacious house bathroom.
The Unique Selling Point though has to be the luxuriously appointed home cinema/party room with a bespoke bar. Oak steps lead down to the cinema room on the lower ground floor.
This amazing multi-functional entertainment space is the stuff of dreams for film or sports fans – there is a 12-foot screen and the connected audio visual equipment to enable you to stream the latest blockbuster, Grand Prix or Premier League final.
For ultimate comfort, there are six big leather reclining chairs – which are heated and have a massage function – and the cupholders can keep drinks warm or cold.
A bespoke oak bar and counter has been installed and includes illuminated glass shelving for bottles and professional refrigeration.
As for outdoors, a wrap around balcony extends into terraced landscaped gardens, designed to provide a choice of seating areas, and beyond that there is a hot tub and more informal garden with a small orchard.
There’s also a garage and exceptionally generous capacity for parking.
As contemporary family homes go, this gem ticks a lot of boxes on the most discerning of wish lists.
