8, The Rydings, Blackburn, BB6 8BQ

A truly remarkable detached home, one of only two executive designs constructed on The Rydings and formerly five bedrooms.

A home that has been beautifully maintained, extended and importantly enjoyed by the current owners for just over twenty years. This is an excellent forever home within the Ribble Valley.

Offering accommodation that totals just shy of 3,000 Sq. Ft, externally the property continues to impress with manicured gardens that are a true delight.

There is an excellent level of privacy to the large rear garden, an ideal space for families to enjoy, as well as a detached double garage and ample parking to the driveway.

This is a real must see, situated on a quarter of an acre plot, with an abundance of attractive features including five reception areas to the ground floor that offer a really attractive flow from one to another, centralised by an impressive family kitchen with glazed gable extension.

Tenure is Freehold. Council tax band G payable to rvbc. EPC rating tbc.

Entering the property into the spacious entrance hall from the canopied open porch area, the split stairs ascend to the first floor and are a particularly attractive feature of the home, immediately offering a sense of grandeur with the accustomed storage cupboard below and Karndean flooring.

Double oak doors lead into the main living room, offering a pleasant inglenook fireplace and bay window frontage, with double doors again leading into the separate dining room with patio doors to the garden.

Undoubtedly the hub of the home, a fabulous extension to the kitchen has created an impressive space for entertaining and the glass gable seamlessly links the garden to the home, framed beautifully from the seating area and with the bi-folds open on a summer's day, this is difficult to better.

Four rain sensor Velux allow additional natural light into the space and there is under floor heating to the extended area.

The kitchen itself has a large breakfast island with quality worksurfaces and a range of units integrated, as well as sink unit and dishwasher.

There are a range of perimeter units, space for a plumbed American Fridge Freezer and dual fuel Rangemaster also. The tiled flooring continues into the utility.

Off the kitchen there is a flexible reception room which lends itself to a snug or play room, again with patio doors to the garden.

Any large family household requires a good sized utility and storage which there is, with fitted units in the utility and sink unit, plumbing for a washing machine, space for dryer and central heating boiler housed in the corner unit with side door access to the driveway.

There is a downstairs W.C comprising two piece suite accessed from the inner hall with extra built-in storage, and a large home office with bay window frontage to offer an attractive symmetry to the front elevation.

From the half galleried landing, the home is practical in its layout with the principal suite to one wing and additional bedrooms and family bathroom to the other.

The main bedroom has a large dressing table and is open to the dressing area with full length fitted wardrobes to each side, leading to the en-suite bathroom comprising five piece suite including his and hers basins and fitted toiletries storage.

Across the landing there are three large double bedrooms, offering an excellent balance to the home for a large family.

The front double has its own en-suite shower room comprising three piece suite and is adjacent to the family bathroom with four piece suite.

The larger double bedroom was originally two separate bedrooms in the home's initial design, now with fitted wardrobes to one side.

There are pleasant views enjoyed of the distant countryside from the rear bedrooms. Additionally there is loft access near to the principal suite and airing cupboard housing the water cylinder.

The home sits on a plot that totals a quarter of an acre and continues to impress externally. There are beautifully manicured gardens, a true labour of love with small shrubs and lawn to the front.

The block paved driveway provides an abundance of off-road parking and leads to the detached garage, with electric up and over and measuring 18'6 x 17'5 with personnel door to its side.
