Lots of books, friendly dogs, horses for neighbours and a river and a forest on your doorstep. Large kitchen for shared used.
I worked abroad for many years before returning to my family home in the Lancashire countryside. I still love to travel and to host travellers in my home. I am a musician and a writer.
We are 1.5 miles down a country lane. The nearest restaurant is Franco's pizzeria at the top of the lane. There is a town with supermarkets and further eating places a five minute drive away. We are in The Ribble Valley and not far from the beautiful Trough of Bowland. The m6 motorway is just a 10 minute drive away and Preston is 25 minutes.
