Jacksons Bridge Farm, Pygons Hill Lane, Lydiate, L31 4JE

Sunday lunch at So-lo Restaurant. A walk along the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Then home to four acres of complete privacy behind your own gates.

That’s everyday life at Jackson’s Bridge Farm on Pygons Hill Lane in Lydiate, postcode L31 4JE.

A beautifully crafted country house just minutes from Aughton and Town Green, where village life, great food and open countryside all meet in one very special pocket of West Lancashire. Four acres.

Total privacy. And the sort of house people move here for when they want countryside without disappearing into the middle of nowhere.

Hidden behind hardwood electric gates at the end of Pygons Hill Lane, Jackson’s Bridge Farm sits within roughly four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds just moments from the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

This is one of Lydiate’s premier homes, and a rare one at that. Built in 2008 using handmade York brick and a traditional slate roof, the house was designed to feel substantial from day one.

Since then the current owners have carefully refined it, bringing everything up to a standard that feels quietly luxurious rather than showy.

Inside, the house flows around a spectacular imperial ash staircase, rising through three storeys and setting the tone the moment you walk through the door.

At the heart of the home sits a proper chef’s kitchen. Bespoke oak cabinetry, granite worktops, a central island, Belfast sink and range cooker, all looking out across the gardens and terraces.

It’s the kind of kitchen where people naturally gather.

Beyond that the living space opens up into a generous dining area and a beautiful lounge centred around a stone fireplace with wood burning stove.

There’s also a large additional sitting room, currently used as a games room, with French doors straight out to the gardens.

Altogether the house offers just over 4,000 square feet of living space, with four double bedrooms arranged over the upper floors.

The principal suite enjoys dual aspects across the grounds, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a striking four piece en suite with freestanding bath.

Two further bedrooms have their own en suites, while the fourth is served by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

Underfloor heating runs through the ground and first floors, a fully integrated home entertainment system is wired throughout, and intercom entry with CCTV provides peace of mind.

Everything here has been thought through properly. Step outside and the real magic of this home becomes obvious.

The plot extends to around four acres, combining formal gardens, sweeping lawns and open land with potential for paddocks should the next owner want it.

Indian stone terraces wrap around the house creating brilliant spaces for entertaining, summer evenings and long outdoor lunches.

Mature planting frames the gardens beautifully, giving the entire property a sense of calm and privacy that is increasingly hard to find this close to Liverpool.

A detached double garage sits neatly off the gravel forecourt, and previous planning permission has been secured for extensions to two elevations.

For anyone wanting to create something even larger, the potential is already there (subject to the necessary consents). Yet the house already feels complete.

The location is another reason people are drawn here. Pygons Hill Lane is a small private lane serving just three homes, tucked quietly alongside the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

It’s peaceful, green and properly rural. But within minutes you’re in Aughton and Town Green, where life revolves around great food, good pubs and village living done properly.

Sunday lunch at Sō-lō Restaurant. Dinner at Moor Hall Restaurant or The Barn at Moor Hall. A midweek glass at Arthur's of Aughton.

There are also brilliant country pubs dotted all around this pocket of West Lancashire, plus canal walks, countryside and cycling routes right on your doorstep.

Families relocating here often have one eye on Scarisbrick Hall School, one of the region’s most respected independent schools, while commuters appreciate how quickly Liverpool can be reached from nearby Town Green station.

And for buyers coming from South Liverpool or Cheshire, the appeal becomes even clearer.

Because finding four acres and over 4,000 sq ft this close to Liverpool simply isn’t possible at this price point anywhere near Hale or Alderley Edge.

Jackson’s Bridge Farm offers something increasingly rare. Space. Privacy. Proper countryside.

But still close enough to great restaurants, good schools and city connections that everyday life remains wonderfully easy. For a private viewing or further information, contact Steph.
