Turn off a quiet, country lane and through electric gates into a long private driveway. Park up in the large semi-circular area at the top where there is parking for six cars, alongside a large, detached, double garage.
Soak up the serenity of the surroundings; a wraparound garden filled with patios and a hidden hot tub and fields that stretch out into the distance.
The clue is in the name. Lodge Barn once belonged to the neighbouring farmhouse and is believed to date back to the 1800s, before being transformed into a luxurious family home around 20 years ago.
Outside, the robust stone hallmarks of its former life as a working barn remain, with traces still evident inside of its new cavity insulated walls.

Welcome home.

Step into a large, tiled entrance hall, filled with light from the full-length floor to ceiling windows at the back of the hall.
Lightness pervades from every angle, oak framed glass walls throughout this level capturing glimpses of the rooms beyond.

Beyond is a lavishly-sized lounge, bedecked in plush cream carpet.
A stone feature wall encases a contemporary log-burning stove, set upon a stone hearth.
Equally evocative in the summer months, double doors lead out onto a balcony, overlooking the outstretching garden.
Cosy in winter, cool in summer, the traditional stone walls and modern insulation ensure an energy efficient home that adapts to the seasons.

Slip through the glass double doors from the lounge into the dining room, where a claret feature wall imbues depth and character to this formal feasting space.
Light and bright, there is easily seating for eight around the dining table; or feast alfresco on the patio beyond the French doors.

Every-day, modern-family dining is catered for in the dining area of the contemporary kitchen. Located from the entrance hall down a couple of tiled steps, it's no surprise to learn that this resplendent Webbs kitchen featured in Lancashire Life.
Glossy cream units curve around corners, topped in gleaming granite. The kitchen is fitted with an array of fine appliances, including dishwasher, freestanding AEG American-style larder fridge-freezer and a large Rangemaster cooker.
Designer vertical radiators maintain the perfect temperature, with a separate utility room also brimming with storage cupboards and housing a washer-dryer and additional sink.

Also leading out to the garden is the garden room, a cosy snug with double doors. West-facing, enjoy the views and outdoor space all year round from this delectable room.

From the entrance hall, descend to the lower level.
Once home to cattle during its tenure as a working barn, this level has been transformed into the party floor.
For totally self-contained living, this lower level is furnished with an extensive gymnasium on one side and a plush carpeted, games room with pool table, arcade machines and even its own bar, with wine fridge, on the other.
Located at the end of the corridor, discover two large storage rooms, with shelving.

Take the staircase all the way up to the first floor, emerging onto a light-filled wraparound landing, where windows frame uplifting views out to green fields and blue sky.

Turn right into the fourth bedroom, currently used as an office. In this quiet and peaceful room, exposed, treacle-toned beams are a nod towards the antiquity of this contemporary home.

Palatially-sized and styled, the master suite awaits next door.
Recently refurbished, the master bedroom is so sumptuously adorned with thick crushed-velvet appearance silver-grey carpet, feature headboard and ceiling fan, it would leave five-star hotel suites blushing in envy.
Fitted, white furniture skirts the fringes of the room, including a large dressing table, chests of drawers and a dressing room area with matching sets of mirrored wardrobes.
Wake up to views across the fields through the enormous windows.
Start the day with a spring in your step after a refreshing spritz in the ensuite shower room.
Above, a large Velux window draws down light, with additional illumination provided by the heated, LED demisting mirror set above the dual sinks.

Exposed beams, floating bedside shelving and a quiet cottage feel embody the third bedroom, across the landing and to the right.
A spacious, cream carpeted double bedroom.

Turning right, explore the voluminous delights of bedroom two. Characterful beams embellish the high ceiling, creating a feeling of spaciousness and light. Creamy-coloured walls continue this motif, ably abetted by windows to two side, serving up views of the countryside whilst drawing daylight through.
Refresh and revive in the fully-tiled ensuite, furnished with rainfall shower, heated LED mirror above the wash basin and heated towel rail.

Lastly, take a tour of the family bathroom. Fitted with a corner Jacuzzi bath, WC and wash basin inset in oak, the crisp white and blue tiles gleam beneath light pouring down from the large Velux window above.
