Detached house for sale in Weeton Road, Singleton, Poulton-Le-Fylde FY6

Singleton Mill Barn has been a 'life long labour of love' for the existing owners. Decades ago, the current plot of this home was utilised as a working mill, with two impressive windmills on site that proudly overlooked the charming village of Singleton and the agricultural land that surrounds. The 'history' of the building and the potential of the site is what encouraged the owners to complete an acquisition in the 1970's, when they converted the building into residential use. Whilst the windmills have long since been demolished and the home has undergone extensive refurbishment over the years, the 'story' of Singleton Mill Barn has been acknowledged and the heritage respected. As we find the property today Singleton Mill Barn exudes character, quirks and interesting features in abundance (including the base of the original windmill which is still anchored in the rear gardens).

It's no exaggeration to say that from the moment you notice Singleton Mill Barn from the local village, it's clear the home is an impressive structure. As you near the property the incredible finish, attention to detail and 'lifestyle benefits' the home boasts become immediately evident. The plot that surrounds the home is multi-tiered and beautifully landscaped. Everywhere you turn flowers blossom, and nature thrives. The driveway is expansive and has a 'horse shoe configuration' making for a safe entrance and exit from Weeton Road, and the sheer amount of space on offer (as well as the added benefit of a detached garage) give safe & secure multi-vehicle parking. The garage has the added benefit of an electric charging point.

As you near the entrance of Singleton Mill Barn, a contemporary water feature compliments the calm and quiet agricultural land that surrounds, making for an entrance as unique as the home itself. Internally, a spacious and contemporary entrance hallway sets a great first impression and implores you to want to further explore what the home has to offer.

This converted barn is a substantial size, coming in at (approximately) 2,500 square feet in total. Whilst having a 'large enough' property is an important consideration for families, how the spaces work and interact with each other is often of equal importance. The family kitchen has been built into a beautiful, open and naturally lit space to the rear of the home. It's a space that really does encourage conversation and interaction between the household. A chefs island that sits central in the space offers additional built in storage, a place to prepare food... But crucially, a great spot for informal dining and entertaining. The induction hob, extractor fans, oven/grill, wine cooler and dishwasher are all integral which helps to maintain those straight lines and a contemporary finish which compliments the vendors choice of décor.

Beyond the kitchen two reception rooms can be found, which sit side by side. The first a 'snug' area, which makes the most of the surrounding landscape, both the idyllic private gardens and the farm land in the distance - the perfect spot for kicking back with your favourite book or box-set at the end of a long day. A more formal dining area can be found alongside it, plenty big enough for hosting the extended family come Christmas time.

Toward the front elevation of the barn, an additional reception room and a ground floor bedroom/reception room can be found. One space is being staged as a 'home office' at the moment, but in truth this room could easily be adapted and restaged to suit the requirements of your household. It's worthy of mention that this room benefits from storage beyond a partition door (which would be great as a small walk-in wardrobe) and a shower room is just next door which features a walk-in shower, toilet & wash basin (easily used as an ensuite). If a member of your family or an occasional guest would benefit from a single-story living arrangement then this set up would be perfect.

A contemporary family lounge can be found in the final reception room. A stunning space with an impressive feature fire, perfect for gathering the family together for 'movie night'. However, when you're not catching up with the latest film releases, you will be spoilt for choice in where to direct your attention as every window frames the surrounding landscape beautifully, like art on the wall. The front-facing window has a stunning image etched into the glass, which shows the barn in it's original form as a working mill. Again, another subtle but lovely acknowledgement to the property's history.

On the upper floor, Singleton Mill Barn offers four double bedrooms. The first two bedrooms are comparable in size and each served by private en-suites that each offer a bath as well as a walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin. The top floor of the home show-cases exposed timber beams that add a rustic quality to the space, whilst a vaulted ceiling helps to add more depth to the landing and each of the final two bedrooms. The master room benefits from built-in storage and a wonderful window seat which overlooks the side aspect of the home. A 'hidden' ensuite can be accessed through the wardrobe; a substantial space finished to a contemporary standard. The en-suites feature a large walk-in shower with separate bath.

The private gardens of this home are as much a pleasure to spend time in as the nature-rich fields that surround. The plant-rich gardens add joy and pops of colour to the landscape, and the various 'zones' around the plot offer something for the entire family to enjoy. Whether you enjoy dining al-fresco, like to entertain outdoors or need enough space for the children to keep themselves active in a safe environment you can be sure that this space will cater for you. A summer house (which is currently being used for storage) would make a wonderful study, playroom or even a small garden-gym.
