4 bedroom detached house for sale

Dating back to the 16th Century and beautifully rebuilt in 1986, Smiths Farm is one of Clayton-le-Woods’ most distinctive homes — a thatched farmhouse that blends centuries-old character with over 4,100 sq. ft. of flexible modern living.Set on Sheep Hill Brow with direct access to Cuerden Valley Park, it’s a setting that feels tucked away yet remains brilliantly connected. Chorley, Leyland and Preston are all close by, and the M6, M61 and M65 give you quick links further afield.A gated entrance and sweeping gravel driveway set the tone before you even step inside. Mature wraparound gardens create total privacy and a calm, countryside feel — a rare find so close to everything.At the heart of the home is the vaulted lounge, where exposed beams, double-height ceilings and a mezzanine study create a dramatic yet inviting space. The rest of the ground floor flows effortlessly: a formal dining room with spiral staircase, cosy cinema room, bright games room and an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with central island. An orangery opens onto the garden, and there’s even a private sauna for a touch of indulgence.Upstairs are four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master suite comes with dressing area and full en-suite, while two other bedrooms benefit from private or shared en-suite facilities. A mezzanine study overlooks the lounge — perfect for working from home without being shut away.Smiths Farm isn’t just a house, it’s a lifestyle. Period charm, modern comfort, privacy, space and a truly special location beside rolling parkland — opportunities like this don’t come up often.
