Full Details:
First Impressions
The interiors at Near Scotland Farm are pristine throughout, owing to the property having undergone a full renovation, which has been carried out to a high standard with tasteful design that blends country character and contemporary style. The house sits amidst the rolling hills of the West Pennine Moors and offers a rural and rustic feel while benefitting from top quality modern living where you can literally move in, unpack, and enjoy, with everything being brand new.
The Living Space
The open plan kitchen and living space allows you to blend cooking, dining, and socialising in one attractive space with a fantastic island and breakfast bar. The kitchen continues that country character with a stylish design of shaker style cabinetry and a two-tone colour scheme of light cottage grey and navy blue with rose gold fittings, all of which complements the beautiful granite worktop and feature splashback. The kitchen also features a range of Neff appliances including an oven, combination microwave oven, dishwasher, induction hob and extractor, in addition to a Quooker instant hot water tap and an inset Caple sink. From the kitchen is also access into the attached garage which is always a practical benefit for family life.
Other practical aspects of this generous family home are the front porch, guest WC, and large utility room, which is finished to contemporary standards in keeping with the country character, and provides plenty of extra storage for miscellaneous bits and bobs, in addition to an extra sink, and a handy spot to do the laundry.
The main lounge provides a generous footprint with an exposed brick fireplace with stone mantle and log burner that continues the rural and rustic feel. Like all other aspects of this home the finish here is immaculate, new, and ready to move into, with two windows on either side of the house affording lovely scenic views, and yellow feature walls adding a splash of colour while complementing the neutral colour scheme and soft new beige carpet underfoot.
In addition to the lounge is a versatile room which would traditionally be classed as a dining room, though owing to this home’s generous foot print and open plan kitchen and living space, you may prefer to use this room as a home office or study, a snug or TV room, or perhaps a playroom for the kids.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The bedrooms and bathrooms within this property are as generous as the living space downstairs, with the master bedroom being the largest and featuring a trendy en-suite with three-piece suite including walk in shower, WC, and vanity basin with storage, plus stylish tiling to the floor and walls.
The second bedroom is also a good sized double and again benefits from a contemporary three-piece en-suite with walk in shower, vanity basin and WC. The two other bedrooms provide ample space for the whole family and share the family bathroom which features part tiled walls and a four-piece suite comprising walk in shower, bath, WC and vanity basin with storage.
The Outside Space
The outside space at Near Scotland Farm is undoubtedly generous in size with its third of an acre plot, but is practical in the sense that it’s low maintenance and ideal if you’re looking for somewhere that doesn’t require a lot of keeping on top of! The property benefits from an abundance of parking space to the front, in addition to a front garden, and to the rear, accessed via the garage, is a peaceful and private garden which benefits from scenic views you can enjoy with family and friends.
Countryside Convenience
On the fringe of the West Pennines with easy access to Hoddlesden and Darwen’s amenities and transport links, this rural spot has moorland walks and endless countryside literally on your doorstep.
