About this property
Nestled within the Lancashire village of Tarleton is Bophut House, a fabulous, four-bedroom home. Complete with a contemporary interior, a private garden, and ground-floor accommodation, Bophut House is also well-positioned near the coastline and a hub of amenities, making it a wonderful base for eight guests, catering to couples, friends, and families. Park up on the private driveway before unloading your belongings, ready to make yourself at home. Travel towards the open-plan living space to be wowed by its sleek design, housing a well-equipped kitchen, a handy breakfast bar, a dedicated dining area for formal mealtimes, and a plush corner sofa to socialise as the chef of your group prepares dinner.
For a quiet nook, head into the sitting room, complete with an open fire to light for a relaxing ambience, or on warmer days, throw open the patio doors to take advantage of your outdoor space, perfect for an alfresco affair. As day turns into night, complete your nightly routine in either the contemporary shower room, or spacious bathroom, before retiring to one of four bedrooms on offer; select between three ground-floor doubles, and a lovely mezzanine king-size, offering privacy from the rest of the home. Awaken to a coffee in the garden before kickstarting your local adventures, firstly reaching Tarleton to stock up on the essentials and dine out, whilst the West Lancashire Light Railway, River Douglas, and RSPB Hesketh Out Marsh rest nearby for attractions.
Travelling south, head for Rufford where you can tour the National Trust property of Rufford Old Hall, enjoy one of many petting experiences on offer at Windmill Animal Farm, or grab your binoculars to birdwatch at the WWT Martin Mere. Southport Beach and its host of amusements can be reached by car, with the popular Southport Pleasureland and Southport Golf Links both awaiting to be enjoyed, or travel to further areas of interest, including Blackpool, Liverpool, Preston, Manchester, and the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, all possible from Bophut House.
The village of Tarleton is situated in Lancashire 10 miles north east of Southport, and to the south west of Preston, in North West England. The River Douglas runs northwards to the east of the village, which is locally thought to be where the Vikings camped on the river banks of what is now Tarleton. Tarleton is well known for farming as it has rich soils but is also home to a range of shops and places to eat. A short drive takes you to the popular seaside town of Southport which now boasts the second longest pleasure pier in the British Isles, the Southport Pier Tramway and Lord Street, an elegant, tree-lined shopping destination. From Birkdale to Woodvale, sand dunes stretch along the coastline and in Ainsdale in particular, the dunes have now been listed as a National Nature Reserve and a designated Ramsar site. The coastline stretches for 22 miles, with plenty of beaches to be discovered. Southport has scenic parks and gardens to explore, fabulous shopping opportunities, an exciting nightlife, as well as a mouth-watering array of restaurants and traditional seaside amusements.
