With three bedrooms and spacious living area, it will be of great interest to many sectors of the market - from young families to retiring couples. Lawsonsteads Barn is an ancient farm building featuring stone pieces believed to originate from Whalley's Cistercian Abbey.

There is a two piece cloakroom and a staircase rising to the first floor. The large rear lounge stretches the full length of the barn and provides the ideal level of space for family living and entertaining. A particular feature of this character room is the part vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers.
