A SEVEN-bedroom country farmhouse and converted barn has come onto the market in the north Lancashire village of Tatham.

Grade II-listed Lane Head enjoys an idyllic, private setting among more than an acre of lawned and mature gardens and a stream. This substantial property is also available with just over nine acres of agricultural land if desired, making it ideal for potential buyers with equestrian or hobby-farming interests.

Lane Head has a private driveway and a superb stone-under-slate garage with workshop, providing space for seven cars - perfect for an avid collector.

The house opens into an impressive, panelled entrance hall and a galleried staircase. The formal lounge is set around a wood-burning stove with stone fireplace, and overlooks the front and side gardens.

In the old farmhouse is an original bar with stone-flagged floor and window sets. Double doors open onto a snug sitting room with an open fire and exposed beams for a cosy atmosphere.

A good-sized office with stone fireplace overlooks the back garden, as does the kitchen, with its wall and base units, range cooker and dishwasher. There is a spacious dining room, offering excellent scope to create an impressive kitchen/dining space.

Also on the ground floor is a handy utility room with storage units and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Six double bedrooms and a single bedroom are found on the first floor. Three of the rooms are within the original farmhouse along with a family bathroom featuring a corner bath, shower cubicle, wash basin, airing cupboard, toilet and tiled floor with underfloor heating.

A spacious attic is insulated and boarded, and offers scope for conversion subject to planning consent.

The converted barn links seamlessly to the farmhouse and its four double bedrooms are all en-suite.
