What Happens When You Take A Beautiful Barn With Log Fires, It's Own Dedicated Postcode, Galleried Ceilings And Open Farmland Views Then Add Solar Panels, Air Source Heating And A Summerhouse Spa? You create a spacious modern home that’s as smart & stylish as it is warm & welcoming. If you’ve been holding out for a home that delivers both character and clever thinking, Leyland Bridge Barn could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. This is the kind of place that welcomes you in with the flicker of a log fire, exposed beams overhead, and wide open countryside views just beyond the window. But look a little closer and you’ll spot the finer details that make this home stand apart - solar panels quietly reducing your bills, an air source heat pump providing underfloor warmth and a summerhouse spa where you can switch off in style. Set in around a quarter of an acre, this five-bedroom barn conversion is designed for real life - whether that’s hosting friends, raising a family or simply enjoying some peace and quiet without the need to book into a boutique hotel. Inside there are four reception rooms including one that is currently utilised as a gym / office, a lounge with its own log burner and a separate snug that’s perfect hiding away with a good book. One of these flexible reception rooms has in the past been used as a sixth bedroom. There’s a large kitchen-breakfast room with hand-built cabinetry, granite worktops and a range cooker, plus a drinks unit with a wine chiller for when guests pop by. At the heart of the home and family life is the truly stunning double height family room. This space is flooded with natural light and has a wood burner for cosy winters evening in. The galleried landing above brings a real sense of space and occasion, with vaulted ceilings, rustic brickwork and beams giving a gentle nod to the building’s history. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, including a principal suite with its own dressing room and ensuite. A second double bedroom also has an ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished four-piece bathroom - complete with a freestanding bath placed beneath a charming porthole window. If you're thinking about schooling, you’re in good hands here too. Ashton Primary School and Ashton Community Science College are both within walking distance and rated "Good" by Ofsted, making this an ideal location for families who want quality education close to home - without the school run stress. Outside, the sense of space continues. The garden wraps around the property with views over open fields, while the large decked terrace makes the perfect spot for coffee in the morning or eating al fresco in the evening. The summerhouse currently doubles as an indulgent home spa, but it could just as easily become a home office, gym or a creative retreat. There’s also a workshop / outbuilding, offering extra flexibility for hobbies or just plenty of storage. A gated driveway provides ample off-road parking, alongside an EV charging point and garage. The area is also set to benefit from the planned Cottam Parkway station, currently targeted to open in December 2030, adding to the wealth of transport options already available. You get to enjoy all of this without the running costs you might expect from a home of this size. Thanks to the combination of solar panels, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating across the ground floor, Leyland Bridge Barn is as efficient as it is welcoming. A five-bedroom barn conversion with log burners, galleried ceilings, open farmland views, and a lifestyle that’s as relaxed as it is refined - all combined with eco-friendly tech that keeps things comfortable, cosy and cost-effective.
