About this property

Settled on the outskirts of the village of Fence, Lancashire is this magnificent, detached house of Fence House. A luxurious and large dwelling, Fence House offers a group of 15 gorgeous interiors throughout, amazing views of the countryside and access to a selection of outdoor havens, including the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by ample off-road parking, making it easy to get settled in and get your break started! Enter this marvellous dwelling to be welcomed by a fabulous living/dining room, where chesterfield seating entices you to kick back and relax in front of the woodburning stove. Another sitting room which boasts regal décor throughout can also be found nearby and is perfect for an evening tipple in front of the fire! Alternatively, if you're after a superb space for a movie night, Fence House offers a sumptuous cinema room, with ample seating for all the family to lounge on whilst you watch a film on the large, flatscreen TV! If you're looking for a moment of peace and quiet, be sure to head upstairs to the landing's reading nook and curl up with a book from the selection provided. When you're feeling peckish, progress to the marvellously fitted kitchen/diner, an impressive spot featuring all the chef of the group needs to make delicious dinners, including an electric AGA and sleek, granite worktops. Once a tasty meal has been made, it can be enjoyed in one of the many dining areas within the property, with one being a four-seater within the kitchen/diner, another being a formal dining room seating up to ten people, and the other being the neighbouring conservatory which enjoys a refectory table and hosts sofas for you to retire to whilst enjoying those panoramic views. The utility isn't far and hosts your laundry facilities, whilst also doubling up as a great area to store your walking gear. Concluding the ground floor's facilities is a handy cloakroom, ideal for preventing those morning queues. Head upstairs to find seven inviting bedrooms, with two consisting of spacious, master doubles which enjoy access to impressive en-suite bathrooms and ample storage. Two more doubles can be found close by, both of which enjoy beautiful décor throughout, along with a double bunk room that is perfect for kids, and a single. A family bathroom can be found nearby and will leave you feeling spoilt for choice in the morning, thanks to its fantastic bath and separate walk-in shower. To the rear of the property is a luscious and enclosed lawn, where the kids can enjoy ball games and your furry friends can stretch their legs while you enjoy a soothing dip in the log-fired hot tub. Get acquainted with your surroundings and embark on a short walk into Fence, where the impeccable restaurants of Forest and The Fence Gate await, along with a well-stocked village store! Steeped in centuries-old heritage and legendary folklore, Lancashire offers many attractions to suit your interests and there are some fantastic locations to choose from. Discover some of Lancashire's legends; from majestic manor houses set in relaxing gardens to original textile museums transporting you back to a time when cotton was king! Take a trip to the top of Pendle hill and take in the spectacular countryside and spellbinding story of the "Pendle Witches", the most famous witches in the land. Close by is Whalley Abbey, whose 'monks' will give visitors an insight into how their predecessors used to live and work, whilst Clitheroe is also well worth a visit with its recently revamped museum and fine castle. Further days out include trips to the National Trust’s best kept secret, Gawthorpe Hall, a striking Elizabethan mansion with a rich history or pop on your walking boots and follow the scenic Stream & Steam Trail through the heritage of Barnoldswick. For shopping and sightseeing, there are nearby market towns such as Clitheroe which has a wide range of independent shops, restaurants and pubs as well as a cinema and equally historic Colne which also has the famous Boundary Mill Store, the place for some retail therapy. With so much more to see and do nearby, including the outdoor wonders of the Forest of Bowland AONB, you'll rarely be bored. Fence House is truly an impeccable base for all the family!

Fence, a picturesque village in Lancashire, is famed for its stunning church, St Anne's Church, and is near to the towns of Nelson and Burnley. There is a small pub and a shop, but the remainder of the village is quiet and surrounded by charming residential properties. Burnley, with its superb assortment of shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as the magnificent Thompson Park and Railway, is easily accessible.

    Leanne the property manager was superb, she put decorations up before we arrived and then came to bring us more wine glasses and champagne flutes. There was a great log fired hot tub, a sauna and a games room with snooker and pool tables, darts, table tennis and table football. Beautifully furnished bedrooms and great entertainment spaces downstairs made for a brilliant weekend. Highly recommend this place!

    !! a real gem. We were there to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. Leanne contacted me before we travelled and went through everything for us. There was even a welcome basket a birthday cake and a bottle to help us celebrate. It’s those little touches that make a difference. The house itself it’s just fabulous!! So clean, so spacious and lots for everyone to do. We loved the games room, we ate in the beautiful dining room, watched films in the cinema room, the children loved seeing the chickens they even laid us an egg! There is just so much to do together there. We were able to spend quality time together as a family from a 6 year old to an 86 year old we have all had the most wonderful time, in this absolutely beautiful house and will definatley return in the future!

    ... this place is pure magic!!! 10 of us stayed here for a pre Christmas family get together at the start of December, and right from when the front gates opened we knew it was going to be an incredible weekend. Leanne was SO helpful and responsive, no question ever too silly and called me the day before with all of the check in information we needed. She was available throughout the weekend on WhatsApp which put us right at ease. The house is absolutely stunning, the perfect blend of curated vintage pieces and modern, and was even decorated for Christmas!! Such a fantastic touch and made for wine and cuppas round the open fire even more festive. Everything was spotless, the beds are super comfy and the sauna and hottub made the dash outside in -2 degrees worth it every time. Everything was so well stocked, the welcome basket was a brilliant touch and we hope the free range chickens enjoyed our Christmas Dinner scraps too. We just had the best time, sang carols round the piano, walked the grounds and had many a feast in the formal dining room and we've come away feeling so Christmassy. We will 10000% be back!! Thank you so much!!!
