Inside former Post Office that featured on Escape to the Country
A home in Barley, that was once used as the village's Post Office, could be yours as it is on the market for £499,950.
The property, in Barley Lane, has been transformed and is now an immaculately presented four-bedroom property that combines timeless character with modern amenities.
It is described as having 'plenty of history and character'.
Hilton & Horsfall, which is marketing the property, said it once featured on Celebrity Escape to the Country on BBC One.
Upon entering the property, you're welcomed by a large entrance hallway, featuring an exposed stone wall with wooden accents.
The hallway flows into a 'bright and airy' living room, with a wood-burning stove set within a stone fireplace that is the cosy focal point.
This is the ideal space for relaxing evenings with family.
At the heart of the home is a cosy cottage-inspired dining kitchen that's both functional and stylish.
It features soft-close grey cabinetry, sleek black work surfaces, and high-end appliances.
Just off the kitchen, a snug room provides a flexible space perfect for a home office, playroom, or additional sitting area. It is bathed in natural light.
Upstairs, you will find the property's four bedrooms, which are described as generously sized.
The master bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, built-in wardrobes, and a sleek ensuite shower room complete with gold fittings and a rainfall shower.
A modern four-piece family bathroom with a panelled bath and walk-in shower is also on this floor.
Outside, you will find a stone-walled enclosed front garden, with a lawn complete with shrubs and flower beds.
It's the perfect area for al fresco dining or summer entertaining — all framed by breathtaking countryside views.
A spokesperson for Hilton & Horsfall said: 'A fantastic opportunity to acquire this immaculate, deceivingly large family-sized dwelling, situated in the pretty picturesque village of Barley at the foot of Pendle Hill, benefiting from open aspect views.
'Being the original old village Post Office, this home has plenty of history and character, having ample country walks right and popular country pubs right from the doorstep.
"This simply stunning four-bedroomed home has been fully renovated to a very high standard and is a true credit to the current owner.
'This home has been thoughtfully restored and lovingly maintained, offering the ideal setting for families or anyone looking to enjoy village life without sacrificing modern comforts.'
