About this property

Ribchester 2 miles. An outstanding, semi-detached, south-facing cottage situated in secluded and unspoilt countryside, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just two miles from Longridge and Ribchester on the edge of the Forest of Bowland. From its magnificent country surroundings, enjoying breathtaking views of the valley and the distant fells, to its high-quality fixtures and luxurious interior, this stone-built Ribchester cottage is perfect for a romantic holiday, or a getaway with friends. Developed to a high specification, offering first-class accommodation, this cottage near Ribchester is spacious and bright, has two super king-size double bedrooms, one of which can be made into a twin, a beautiful, modern bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower, and a ground floor wet room. The master bedroom enjoys a spacious layout, stylish furnishings, a TV, and a Velux window allowing light to fill the room. The open plan living area exudes real style with beautiful oak flooring, a fully-integrated Sonos sound system, and an inset woodburning stove, all combining to create a wonderful space. It includes a modern kitchen, dining area, and stylish sitting area, while two sets of French doors leading to the garden further enhance the benefits of this lovely Ribble Valley cottage. The area is steeped in history, with a Roman museum and ruins, great gastropubs around every corner, and a fabulous spa just one mile away. Longridge, described by the Sunday Times as ‘big on character’ and listed in their ‘101 Best Places To Live In Britain’, is also just a mile away. This intriguing town is full of unique shops to browse, ranging from designer clothing stores to antiques and interiors shops. Pubs, cafes, restaurants and an independent cinema offer further options for entertainment, or simply pop into one of two supermarkets, to stock up on tasty treats for your picnic, before heading out into the beautiful countryside.
