"A distinguished 1837 country house with beautiful gardens, woodland and an exceptional collection of period spaces"
The Property
Walnut Bank is a distinguished 1837 country house, beautifully restored to preserve the character and proportions of its period while creating a comfortable home for modern family life. Set behind private gates, the property has a wonderful sense of seclusion despite being only a short distance from Lancaster.
Inside, a collection of elegant reception spaces provides plenty of room for both entertaining and quieter moments at home. The kitchen sits alongside a welcoming family reception area, with direct access to the gardens making it a natural hub for everyday life.
The five bedrooms are generously proportioned, with the principal bedroom enjoying a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite and balcony doors overlooking the grounds. The bathrooms continue the property’s sense of character, including double-ended baths positioned to make the most of the garden outlook.
A substantial lower ground floor adds another dimension to the accommodation, with a library, wine store, gym/yoga space and extensive storage offering considerable flexibility.
Externally
The property sits within approximately 1.78 acres of beautifully established gardens and mature woodland. Lawns, mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully private setting around the house, with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors throughout the seasons.
The former stable range provides an impressive collection of practical spaces, including garaging, workshop and storage areas. A private gated approach and extensive parking complete the setting.
