Set within approximately 2.33 acres in the charming Fylde village of Elswick, The Coppice is a beautifully upgraded and substantially extended modern country home that perfectly balances high quality appointments to bring a touch of luxury to your everyday with an idyllic rural lifestyle.

Recently transformed to an exceptional standard, the property offers over 2,100 sq ft of light-filled accommodation, including a striking first-floor addition that captures far-reaching views across open farmland to the Bowland Fells. Designed with both family life and entertaining in mind, the versatile layout is complemented by neatly kept, level and above all, private gardens, a substantial modern barn, stable block and adjoining paddocks, creating a rare opportunity for those seeking a genuine lifestyle property.

Despite its tucked away and rural setting, The Coppice enjoys excellent connectivity, with nearby villages providing everyday amenities, larger market towns and cities within easy reach and convenient access to the M55, M6 and West Coast Main Line. Whether your passion is horses, the great outdoors or simply embracing the tranquillity of country living without sacrificing modern convenience, The Coppice offers an exceptional home in one of Lancashire's most desirable rural settings.

Elswick is a small and attractive village on the Fylde peninsula, there are local facilities including a pub and useful newsagents, with additional services in neighbouring villages of Little and Great Eccleston which are within walking distance.

For a wider selection, try Kirkham and the attractive market town of Garstang where supermarkets are available and, in the latter, a busy high street with independent retailers and a weekly market.

Whilst all different, the cities of Preston, Lancaster, Manchester and Liverpool between them offer a full range of commercial and recreational facilities including a vast array of restaurants and great shopping. Culturally, there is a choice of theatres, cinemas and established arts and music scenes with festivals and events throughout the year.

If access to the great outdoors is important to you then at Elswick it’s all around. Not only are there super views from the rear elevation and garden of The Coppice over towards the distant Bowland Fells, but there is ready access to the protected National Landscape (formerly the AONB) of the Forest of Bowland. This covers 300 square miles with fells, deep valleys, ancient woodlands, sprawling heather and peat moorland. It offers many opportunities for outdoor adventure with an extensive network of lanes, footpaths and bridle paths for walking, running and cycling as well as hacking out on horseback.

Although rural, the location is not at all isolated, so whether you need to travel for business, family commitments or social engagements, transport links are to hand with convenient access onto the M55 and M6, or if travelling by train, there are stations at both Preston and Lancaster on the main West Coast line with a connecting branch line station at Kirkham and Wesham which has direct services to Manchester airport, ideal if you’d prefer to save the hassle and costs of car parking.

The Coppice has recently been substantially extended by way of a substantial dormer addition and additionally undergone a thorough renovation with great attention to detail in the specification and standard of work. The previous true bungalow didn’t maximise the setting and enjoy any views to the Bowland Fells, but the two new first floor bedrooms and the lovely galleried seating area all command a great outlook across surrounding farmland to the impressive undulating hills in the distance.

As well as the first floor addition, comprehensive work has included a new Worcester Bosch boiler and many new radiators, new complementary kitchen and utility fittings, a  modernised ground floor bathroom, new composite external doors, new contemporary oak internal doors (with antique brass effect handles, hinges and thresholds) and two new fully glazed external doors to allow additional light to flood into the spacious hall and sitting room. Furthermore, a new consumer unit has been installed along with a partial rewire to bring the property fully up to code,  there is also capacity to add an EV charging point if required. Once the structural work and appointments were complete, new decorations, floor coverings and light fittings completed the transformation.

Approach via a covered front entrance for shelter and be welcomed into a generous reception hall that immediately sets the tone for the property, providing an impressive feeling of openness and acting as a natural lynchpin for the whole flow of accommodation.
