00:00Hi guys, my name's Jack Marshall, I'm a Digital Reporter for Lancashire Post and I'm bringing
00:05you another property feature here today. Now as you can see, we've got quite the home to
00:10show you around today. It's an absolutely breathtaking property, which, I mean, it's
00:16not hyperbole to say that it's comfortably one of the nicest homes, probably in the country
00:21let alone just the North West of Lancashire, this is one of the UK's outstanding residences.
00:26It's just, from start to finish, it's got absolutely everything. It's got everything
00:30from history to modern features, it's got everything from leisure facilities like
00:35tennis courts and swimming pools to just oodles of space, woodland, absolutely everything. So
00:42we'll go from the start. This is an absolutely incredible imposing country residence, which dates
00:48back originally to the 1500s. It's believed that this property dates back to the 1500s
00:53and it's located at the end of a private tree-lined drive, so it's got seclusion,
00:59it's got privacy, it's got that air of kind of like historic class to it. Electric gates,
01:06go through those, head up to the house itself, it's got a very classic kind of, I'm terrible
01:10at architecture, but kind of mock Tudor feel to it almost, with the beams, black beams and
01:16white kind of facade to it, so it's got that kind of air of historic class like we've said.
01:21Moving into the house itself, it's got log burners, three reception rooms, a home study,
01:26a bespoke kitchen with an island and an electric AGA, it's got a utility room, it's got a pool,
01:33as we've mentioned, indoor pool as well, so that's not outside, so this is year-round usage,
01:38and the pool also has sauna facilities as well to boot, so absolutely no expense spared in this
01:43place. It's got outbuildings and a greenhouse which are set in around 15 acres of land which
01:49surround this house, so like we said, plenty of space, plenty of mature trees as you can see from
01:53this picture here, and lots of lawn space. And just to kind of wrap up the property itself,
01:58it's six bed, five bath, so loads of space like we've said, in the grounds as well, orchard,
02:04tennis court, it's got it all. This home is absolutely breathtaking, it's on the market
02:09for £3.5 million with Armistead Barnet. Now like we said, this is one of the premier properties on
02:16the market in Lancashire, anywhere in the entire county, like we said, the entire country probably,
02:22so it's certainly not one to miss, it's definitely one you'll want to check out if any of you are
02:27lucky enough to be able to afford somewhere like this. It's certainly an eye-catcher, so yeah,
02:31without further ado, we're going to take a bit of a tour, see if Armistead Barnet, so yeah,
02:34without further ado, here we go.
04:46So
05:03you
