EXTERNAL
The property is approached from the farm track through a full sized timber gate into a substantial gravelled courtyard providing an attractive approach along with ample parking for approximately 6-8 vehicles. With stone sets and gravel pathways leading around the barns between the house and the cottage as well as on to the vegetable plot at the rear. Further six bar gates give access onto the additional pasture land and rear gardens. The property's Propane tank is to the side of the barn and partially hidden via a Russian vine. To the rear of the property there are superbly presented gardens including a striking Knot Garden, adjacent to the sitting rooms and with further substantial lawned gardens. With well stocked beds and borders, mature specimen trees and shrubs and attractive stone stepped lawn terraces leading down to the ornamental pond with timber decked areas and again with substantial planting and providing a further attractive area to sit out. To the immediate rear of the barn and with further six bar gate vehicular access, there is a substantial and well kept kitchen garden, an orchard which was formerly a croft.

Pasture Land & Orchard
Accessed from the front forecourts and the rear gardens via timber gates there is a small paddock/arena, which in turn leads on to the remaining four acres of pasture land included in the sale.

Solar Panels
Being a double pitched roof with a hidden valley between the two buildings there are south facing photovoltaic panels providing heat and electricity to the property.

Scheduled Ancient Monument
This is the 'deserted medieval village of Stock', listed in the Domesday Book and in origin, probably much earlier as the Roman road goes through the grounds to a ford across the Ribble. In the paddock & field are plough lines and 'tofts & crofts' - the outlines of houses and their gardens, quite visible as you drive towards the house from the A59. The rules are no digging deeper than 12 inches without permission from English Heritage so gardening is fine but installing new drains needs permission and no dumping allowed.
