4 bed detached house for sale

Dawson Lane, Whittle-Le-Woods PR6

A remarkable period residence set within approximately 1.1 acres, offering over 3,400 sq ft of accommodation, beautiful original character and an exciting opportunity to create a clean, elegant country home for modern family living.

Dating back to 1898 and approached via its own private driveway, this substantial period property enjoys a wonderful sense of arrival, privacy and space. Set within mature grounds and surrounded by established trees, gardens and open outlooks, the home offers a rare combination of heritage, scale and future potential.

What makes this property especially exciting is the opportunity it presents. Already generous, characterful and well-proportioned, the house offers the ideal foundation for a sympathetic renovation, a chance to retain the elegance of the original architecture while introducing a cleaner, simpler and more contemporary style of living.

The floorplan extends to approximately 3,425 sq ft, with beautifully balanced accommodation arranged across the main house and additional outbuildings. The principal reception spaces are particularly impressive, including a grand entrance hall with oak parquet flooring, decorative feature detailing and a striking spindled staircase. From here, the home opens into a spacious living room, a separate dining room and a generous family room, each offering excellent proportions and the kind of ceiling height, natural light and architectural detail that are increasingly difficult to find.

The current images and concept visuals help illustrate what could be achieved with a thoughtful scheme of improvement. The existing layout lends itself beautifully to a more open, understated and modern country-house feel, with scope to create soft neutral interiors, elegant flooring, refined lighting and more contemporary kitchen, living and dining spaces while preserving the soul of the original home.

To the rear of the main house, the kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook and provides further potential to be reimagined as part of a cleaner, more practical everyday family layout. Subject to the necessary permissions and works, buyers may choose to enhance the connection between the kitchen, dining and family spaces, creating a more fluid arrangement suited to modern living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-sized bedrooms, a bathroom and an en-suite, with the principal bedroom enjoying access to a balcony. A walk-in robe adds further practicality, while the overall layout gives future owners excellent scope to refine the bedroom and bathroom arrangements to suit their own lifestyle.

In addition to the main accommodation, the property benefits from a detached former coach house/garage with additional rooms and WC, offering superb flexibility. This space could suit a home office, studio, annexe-style accommodation, guest suite or potential holiday let/Airbnb use, subject to any required permissions. A further detached building currently provides storage and includes two additional rooms, again adding to the versatility of the estate.

Externally, the setting is one of the home’s most compelling features. The grounds extend to approximately 1.1 acres, with mature gardens, established planting, a field and stables currently used as a wood store. The space offers lifestyle flexibility for families, gardeners, those seeking privacy, or buyers with equestrian interests.

The location is equally special. Positioned between two former large country houses, the property enjoys an exceptional semi-rural setting. To the south and front lies Shaw Hill Golf Club, with around 190 acres of parkland providing a beautiful outlook, while to the north, Lisieux Hall, farmland and woodland create an ever-changing natural backdrop.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial period home with land, outbuildings, character and genuine potential - a property that could be transformed into a truly elegant modern country residence while retaining the charm, history and setting that make it so special.
