Description This truly exceptional property was cleverly converted from a modern building in 2020/21 to the highest standard providing light and airy open plan accommodation in a contemporary ‘Scandinavian Style'.

The practical open plan layout has been thoughtfully designed around an outdoor lifestyle with sustainability at its heart.

Features include integrated insulation and double-glazed units in powder coated aluminium frames, a rainwater harvesting system, underfloor heating to both ground and first floors, LED lighting throughout, and a ground source heat pump benefiting from a 7 year payback tariff creating an incredibly efficient home with comparatively low running costs.

As previously mentioned, Cedar Lodge is perfect for those with an outdoor lifestyle and most obviously those with equestrian and hobby farming interests.

The property includes a stable building and a general storage building and has generous yard areas and hard standings together with a productive block of predominantly meadow and pasture land extending to approximately 26.21 acres.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property is well placed for outriding being conveniently located close to a network of bridleways including the Pennine Bridleway and equestrian facilities at Crow Wood and HAPPA, both in nearby Burnley.

Double doors from the hallway open into a light, airy full height kitchen dining space with bi-folds opening onto a paved seating area.

The sleek fitted kitchen units are in deep navy blue with white quartz surfaces and inset 1 ½ bowl sink and a fitted ‘Rangemaster' cooker with gas hob and electric double oven and grill.
