Set within an exceptional plot on the edge of Whalley, this substantial detached bungalow enjoys a truly enviable position, boasting far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, including the iconic Whalley Viaduct, the River Calder and the historic Whalley Abbey. Offering approximately 2,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation, the property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a spacious home within walking distance of the village centre and its excellent amenities.<br/><br/>Approached via a private, gated driveway leading to a generous block-paved forecourt, the property immediately impresses with its sense of space and privacy. Internally, the accommodation is both flexible and well maintained, having previously been configured as a three-bedroom home, and now offering adaptable living space to suit a variety of buyers.<br/><br/>A welcoming L-shaped entrance hall provides access to the loft, which is partially boarded, and houses the gas combination boiler. The main lounge is a particularly attractive reception space, centred around a marble fireplace with inset gas fire, and enjoying delightful views towards the viaduct. Sliding doors open through to a bright conservatory, which takes full advantage of the garden outlook, with UPVC double glazing and French doors leading directly outside.<br/><br/>The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of base and eye-level units, complemented by quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, induction hob with extractor, oven and grill, plate warming drawer and dishwasher. Tiled splashbacks complete the space, while folding doors open into the adjoining dining room, creating a sociable and practical layout. The dining room could be converted back into a bedroom with original doorway being blocked off from the entrance hall. Steps lead down from here to a formal sitting room, a characterful space featuring a cast iron gas stove set upon a hearth, with sliding doors opening to the front porch.<br/><br/>Further accommodation includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a range of fitted furniture and access to a Jack and Jill style shower room, fitted with a walk-in mains shower, vanity unit, WC and useful storage. Floor coverings are yet to be laid in the bathroom. A separate cloaks/WC, formerly a single bedroom, provides additional convenience and further scope for reconfiguration if desired. A utility room is also present, offering additional base units, worktop space, a sink and plumbing for laundry appliances. Off the utility room is the integral double garage with electric up and over door and external access to the rear. <br/><br/>Externally, the property is a true standout feature. The sweeping gardens wrap around the home, predominantly laid to lawn with a variety of terraced seating areas perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning outlook. Mature hedgerows, a pond and paved, stepped walkways add to the charm and privacy of the setting. In addition to the integral double garage, there is also a further detached garage with electric up and over door and a separate gated driveway accessed off Walmsley Brow.<br/><br/>Combining generous internal accommodation, breathtaking views and a prime location within walking distance of Whalley village, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and beautifully positioned home with significant appeal to families, downsizers and those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle with convenience.<br/><br/>Billington is a highly regarded Ribble Valley village, offering an excellent balance of rural charm and everyday convenience.
