About this property
The Oaks is a striking house resting in Great Harwood, Lancashire, providing generous parking, an enclosed garden and characterful living space with exposed beams and a woodburning stove. Step inside and you are drawn into the open-plan living area, where light falls across the beams and a large dining table gathers everyone together for shared meals and card games after a day outdoors. The kitchen runs along one side, with ample workspace and all the appliances you need to handle everything from hearty breakfasts to laid-back suppers. After dinner, settle on the sofas by the woodburning stove, while others drift through to the external games room for friendly competitions that stretch into the evening.
Four well-presented bedrooms are arranged to offer a mix of three doubles and a twin, suiting families, walking parties, groups of friends and those attending local golf tournaments. Two well-appointed bathrooms, one with a freestanding bath and both with walk-in showers, make it easy for everyone to freshen up, while a handy cloakroom and separate utility keep day-to-day practicalities neatly out of sight. Outside, the enclosed garden becomes a real social hub, with a lawn for children and pets to play, a patio with furniture beneath the pergola and pizza oven, for al fresco feasts on warmer evenings.
