Agent's Perspective
Plot 4, Higher House Lodge, represents a truly special opportunity to acquire a beautifully finished luxury lodge in one of Lancashire's most scenic rural locations. This particular lodge has been finished to an exceptionally high standard, with significant investment made in upgrades and enhancements throughout, creating a home that feels far removed from the typical lodge offering.
Externally, the lodge is immediately impressive, with imported Canadian cedar cladding providing a striking natural finish that sits beautifully within the surrounding landscape. The elevated position and generous composite balcony, complete with glass balustrade, make the most of the breathtaking outlook, with far-reaching views across the countryside towards Pendle Hill, Barnoldswick and the wider Ribble Valley, extending towards the Cumbrian landscape on a clear day.
At the heart of the lodge is an impressive open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, designed around modern, sociable living and making full use of the property's magnificent outlook.
The kitchen has been upgraded to an exceptional standard and features composite work surfaces, a granite sink, illuminated cabinetry, ample storage, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar incorporating a handy wine cooler. The arrangement provides an elegant yet highly practical space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Two sets of double doors open directly from the living area onto the large composite balcony, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or simply sitting back with a glass of wine as the sun sets, this is undoubtedly one of the lodge's defining features.
The lounge also benefits from a multi-fuel log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point during the cooler months and adding to the lodge's luxurious yet comfortable character.
The principal bedroom is a superb suite in its own right, with a dedicated walk-in wardrobe, attractive panel detailing and beautifully coordinated furnishings. The bedroom has been designed with both style and comfort in mind, including a statement floating bed with matching furniture. The adjoining modern en-suite shower room has a luxurious contemporary feel, featuring striking black accents and a rainfall shower, creating a boutique-hotel style finish. Bedroom Two is a generous double bedroom with excellent integrated wardrobe storage, making it equally suitable for family, guests or as a second bedroom/home office depending upon the owner's requirements.
The main bathroom continues the high specification, with an extended bath and Italian tiling to both the walls and floor, creating a sophisticated and beautifully finished space.
A separate utility area provides useful additional functionality and includes a composite sink, while LVT flooring runs throughout the lodge, providing a stylish and durable finish.
Every element of this lodge has been carefully considered, and the level of investment in upgrades is immediately apparent. This is not simply a standard lodge; it is a highly finished and individually enhanced property designed for those looking for something genuinely special and unique - one of a kind.
