About this property

Settled on the outskirts of the village of Fence, Lancashire is this magnificent, detached house of Fence House. A luxurious and large dwelling, Fence House offers a group of 15 gorgeous interiors throughout, amazing views of the countryside and access to a selection of outdoor havens, including the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by ample off-road parking, making it easy to get settled in and get your break started! Enter this marvellous dwelling to be welcomed by a fabulous living/dining room, where chesterfield seating entices you to kick back and relax in front of the woodburning stove. Another sitting room which boasts regal décor throughout can also be found nearby and is perfect for an evening tipple in front of the fire! Alternatively, if you're after a superb space for a movie night, Fence House offers a sumptuous cinema room, with ample seating for all the family to lounge on whilst you watch a film on the large, flatscreen TV! If you're looking for a moment of peace and quiet, be sure to head upstairs to the landing's reading nook and curl up with a book from the selection provided. When you're feeling peckish, progress to the marvellously fitted kitchen/diner, an impressive spot featuring all the chef of the group needs to make delicious dinners, including an electric AGA and sleek, granite worktops. Once a tasty meal has been made, it can be enjoyed in one of the many dining areas within the property, with one being a four-seater within the kitchen/diner, another being a formal dining room seating up to ten people, and the other being the neighbouring conservatory which enjoys a refectory table and hosts sofas for you to retire to whilst enjoying those panoramic views. The utility isn't far and hosts your laundry facilities, whilst also doubling up as a great area to store your walking gear. Concluding the ground floor's facilities is a handy cloakroom, ideal for preventing those morning queues. Head upstairs to find seven inviting bedrooms, with two consisting of spacious, master doubles which enjoy access to impressive en-suite bathrooms and ample storage. Two more doubles can be found close by, both of which enjoy beautiful décor throughout, along with a double bunk room that is perfect for kids, and a single. A family bathroom can be found nearby and will leave you feeling spoilt for choice in the morning, thanks to its fantastic bath and separate walk-in shower. To the rear of the property is a luscious and enclosed lawn, where the kids can enjoy ball games and your furry friends can stretch their legs while you enjoy a soothing dip in the log-fired hot tub. Get acquainted with your surroundings and embark on a short walk into Fence, where the impeccable restaurants of Forest and The Fence Gate await, along with a well-stocked village store! Steeped in centuries-old heritage and legendary folklore, Lancashire offers many attractions to suit your interests and there are some fantastic locations to choose from. Discover some of Lancashire's legends; from majestic manor houses set in relaxing gardens to original textile museums transporting you back to a time when cotton was king! Take a trip to the top of Pendle hill and take in the spectacular countryside and spellbinding story of the "Pendle Witches", the most famous witches in the land. Close by is Whalley Abbey, whose 'monks' will give visitors an insight into how their predecessors used to live and work, whilst Clitheroe is also well worth a visit with its recently revamped museum and fine castle. Further days out include trips to the National Trust’s best kept secret, Gawthorpe Hall, a striking Elizabethan mansion with a rich history or pop on your walking boots and follow the scenic Stream & Steam Trail through the heritage of Barnoldswick. For shopping and sightseeing, there are nearby market towns such as Clitheroe which has a wide range of independent shops, restaurants and pubs as well as a cinema and equally historic Colne which also has the famous Boundary Mill Store, the place for some retail therapy. With so much more to see and do nearby, including the outdoor wonders of the Forest of Bowland AONB, you'll rarely be bored. Fence House is truly an impeccable base for all the family!

Fence, a picturesque village in Lancashire, is famed for its stunning church, St Anne's Church, and is near to the towns of Nelson and Burnley.

    Everything you need. Games room brilliant. Bathrooms stunning. Would return again.

    The house itself is huge, even bigger than it looks in the pictures. And there is so much room for everyone to enjoy. The rooms were clean and comfortable and everything we needed was provided. But the highlight has to be the gardens and grounds. There was so much space for the kids to play and the fact that it is all enclosed and private is awesome. The kids really enjoyed collecting fresh eggs every morning from the hens. Leanne was very helpful and went out of her way to set up some decorations for a special celebration. We would 100% stay again.

    Loved our time there, we all enjoyed it. The tennis court could do with a proper surface and the lines applied. The cleaning isn't brilliant but we made do and cleaned some areas ourselves. However it would not stop me booking it again it wasn't overly bad. We found someone's wallet when we arrived which had been missed and items of clothing under furniture and down the side of mattresses. The children absolutely delighted in feeding the chickens and collecting eggs. The facilities are wonderful. Thank you for our wonderful stay.
