Property description
With grounds adjoining Read Hall and nestling in a small hamlet of just three properties, this large executive property is set in one of the most highly sought-after areas in the Ribble Valley. The Stables were converted in 1992 from a detached stone outbuilding, which formed part of Read Hall Farm and lies in a parkland setting of outstanding natural beauty.

The house offers spacious, well-planned accommodation with large rooms, all providing pleasant outlooks beyond landscaped gardens towards Whalley Nab and Sabden.
