Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present ‘Smith’s Barn’ - a prestigious Grade II listed four-bedroom contemporary barn conversion, nestled within a generous plot along the tranquil and tree-lined Elmers Green in Skelmersdale, West Lancs.

Dating back in part to the 1600’s, this character full property offers the perfect blend of character and contemporary convenience, with this impressive residence having been thoughtfully converted to an exceptional standard. The property is approached via a private road, with access secured by electric gates, leading to off-road parking and a double garage. Surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens, this unique home boasts an inverted living design that maximizes natural light and captures the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Located in the peaceful and semi-rural setting of Elmers Green, this property offers the best of both worlds—secluded countryside living while still being within easy reach of local amenities, well-regarded schools, and transport links. The M58 motorway is just a short drive away, providing swift access to Liverpool, Manchester, and the surrounding areas, making it ideal for commuters and families seeking both serenity and convenience.

The exterior of this charming property exudes rustic appeal, with traditional stonework and large, picturesque windows. The approach is impressive, with secure electric gates opening onto a sweeping driveway lined with mature trees, leading to a spacious double garage. The well-maintained gardens encircle the home, with beautifully landscaped lawns, established borders, and a peaceful pond that serves as a focal point for the grounds—perfect for relaxing weekends or enjoying activities like fishing.

The ground floor is home to three generously sized bedrooms, each tastefully decorated with a seamless mix of period charm and modern luxury. Two of the bedrooms benefit from lavish en-suite bathrooms, while the family bathroom offers a striking design with a freestanding pebble bath, WC, vanity wash basin, and a walk-in double shower. Integrated wardrobes and a spacious walk-in dressing room provide ample storage solutions. The double garage offers further utility space, completing the versatile ground floor layout.

Ascending to the first floor, you’ll discover a magnificent open-plan living area that showcases the perfect harmony between the old and the new. An additional room, which could serve as either a fourth bedroom or a second reception room, is also located on this level. The bespoke, premium fitted kitchen is the heart of this home, boasting a range of stylish wall, base, and tower units, premium contrasting work surfaces, a central feature island, and a host of high-end integrated appliances. Utilising the clean lines and contrasting style of glass and exposed timber, the adjoining dining area is filled with natural light, making it an ideal space for entertaining. The main living area is a showstopper, featuring an authentic exposed wall with original wattle and daub construction—a unique element that adds both warmth and historical character to this stunning home.

The expansive gardens are a true delight, wrapping around the property with sprawling lawns, established woodland, and the picturesque pond mentioned earlier. The current owners have taken significant steps to enhance the property’s eco-friendliness, installing solar panels, battery storage systems, a cutting-edge ground source heat pump, and a home EV charging point—ensuring both sustainability and reduced running costs.

Extending to approximately 3,500 square feet, this outstanding home of character combines modern luxury with historic charm. Its desirable location, impressive eco-credentials, and exquisite design make it a truly special offering. Early internal inspection is highly recommended.
