Lodge Bank, Withnell

Arnold & Phillips Chorley are proud to present… this distinctive three-bedroom stone-built terraced home, positioned within the Lancashire village of Brinscall and enjoying an elevated outlook across the lake towards the surrounding hills. Extending to approximately 1,378 square feet over three floors, the property combines characterful living space with a generous kitchen and family area, two beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms and an impressive principal suite created through a substantial top-floor extension and conversion completed during the present vendor’s ownership.
Living Space. The principal lounge is a bright and inviting room, with a large window drawing in natural light and framing the greenery beyond. A log-burning stove sits within an exposed-brick fireplace beneath a substantial timber mantel, while fitted cabinetry provides useful media storage without detracting from the room’s traditional character. An understairs reading nook creates an additional place to sit, read or work within the adjoining family area.
Kitchen & Dining. The open-plan kitchen and family area provides a sociable and highly practical heart to the home, with clearly defined spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing. Shaker-style cabinetry, timber worktops, a Belfast sink and a substantial range-style cooker establish a classic finish, complemented by integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher appliances. A central island provides further storage and informal seating, while roof glazing and garden-facing windows introduce additional daylight. Bespoke woodwork has also created useful alcove storage with a dedicated laundry shelf.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms. Two well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a particularly generous double bedroom with fitted storage and windows to two elevations. The main bathroom has been comprehensively renovated, combining a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure with richly patterned teal tiling, brushed-brass fittings and contemporary black detailing.
A spiral staircase rises to the exceptional top-floor principal suite, which was created as part of a substantial loft extension and conversion undertaken since the vendor purchased the property. Representing a significant investment and materially increasing the home’s usable accommodation, this private retreat incorporates a dressing area and its own en-suite shower room. Exposed brickwork introduces a memorable architectural feature, while windows to the front and rear capture far-reaching views towards the lake and hills, together with sunset views from the rear.
Outside. The elevated frontage incorporates established planting, traditional stone boundaries and a paved seating terrace positioned to take advantage of the open outlook. Two double outdoor electrical sockets are arranged across the different garden levels.
To the rear, the enclosed garden has been thoughtfully arranged across two paved levels. The lower patio, accessed directly through French doors, provides a comfortable and sheltered outdoor seating area enhanced by decorative festoon lighting. Steps lead to a larger upper terrace with raised planting, privacy screening and a useful garden shed, creating further space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Ring cameras are installed at the front and rear and, according to the vendor, will transfer to the new owner.
Location & Lifestyle. Brinscall offers a strong village identity surrounded by open Lancashire countryside, nature trails and walking routes leading towards the West Pennine Moors. Local amenities include The Cottage Tea Room, The Little Tiger restaurant, traditional fish and chips, the Cricketers Arms and established cricket and community clubs.
Nearby primary education includes Brinscall St John’s and St Joseph’s at Withnell, although admissions and catchment arrangements should always be checked directly. Regular bus services connect Brinscall with Chorley and Blackburn, while the M61 and M65 provide useful links across the wider region. Chorley offers a broader range of shops, supermarkets, healthcare services, pharmacies and leisure facilities, together with rail connections towards Preston, Manchester and surrounding destinations.
Viewing Summary. This is a thoughtfully improved village home whose three-storey layout, open-plan family accommodation, two-level rear garden and substantially extended principal suite set it apart. The significant top-floor project has added both space and individuality, while new carpets and fresh decoration have been introduced throughout and a new Baxi boiler was installed in 2026. High-speed internet availability further supports modern home working and connected living. Viewing through Arnold & Phillips Chorley is recommended to appreciate the accommodation, character, investment and remarkable outlook.
