A home in Ribchester, with a garden that green-fingered gardeners will be envious of, has hit the property market with a guide price of £1.2 million.
Knowle Hey, on a private country estate in Stoneygate Lane, is a five-bedroom detached bungalow that offers privacy and rural living.
Set within approximately four acres of landscaped grounds, the property includes a beautifully renovated home as well as a separate two-bedroom apartment and full planning permission for a third barn-style residence.
The main single-storey home has been thoughtfully designed, with handcrafted details and quality materials create a warm and cohesive atmosphere.
The open-plan kitchen and living area forms the heart of the home, filled with natural light and anchored by a feature fireplace set against an exposed brick wall.
The kitchen includes granite worktops, and a central island, all designed with both family life and entertaining in mind.
Off the central hallway are three spacious double bedrooms.
The master bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom complete with walk-in rainfall shower. This room is described as a “true retreat” with garden views.
A further family bathroom and large boot room with built-in storage enhance the home’s functionality.
Separate from the main house, the triple garage block includes The Loft at Knowle Hey, a contemporary two-bedroom apartment with idyllic countryside views. With its own open-plan living space, kitchen, and modern bathroom, it’s ideal for guests or extended family.
The garage block also connects to a home office and garden room, opening onto a terrace beside a large wildlife pond.
The grounds are a key feature of the property. They have been landscaped with care and creativity and include formal lawns, a cottage garden, orchard, wildflower meadows, and a fruit garden. It looks like a gardener’s dream.
There are paths through woodland, a rockery, and a wildlife pond complete with a jetty. There is also a seating area where you can relax and admire nature.
From the home, you can enjoy views across the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
With planning permission in place for a third home, Knowle Hey also offers scope for future development or multigenerational living.
A spokesperson for Athertons, which is marketing the property, said: “Discreetly accessed via twin electric gates and a sweeping gravel drive, the estate enjoys total privacy while offering long-reaching views across the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland.
“Despite its tranquil setting, the charming village of Ribchester is just a short stroll away — home to a Roman museum, artisan cafés, riverside walks, and a welcoming community, with excellent links to nearby Clitheroe, Whalley, and the wider Ribble Valley.”
