4 Bedroom Detached House, Clarksfield Road, Bolton Le Sands, LA5

An exceptional, fully reimagined family home of extraordinary specification, set in a quiet cul-de-sac with direct canal towpath access and breathtaking views across Morecambe Bay and the Lake District hills. Every element has been engineered, rebuilt and specified to the highest standard — this is not a renovation; it is a complete transformation.

The Build

Ground floor rear rooms have thermal beam and block flooring with 285mm EPS insulation and water-borne underfloor heating across four individually controlled zones. Front rooms retain a suspended timber floor with Vaillant ambiSENSE thermostatic valve control, app control and remote monitoring. The upper floor is finished with Kahrs engineered wood on Gold Acoustic underlay, with Karndean vinyl in the bathroom. External walls are two-skin concrete block with 100mm insulated cavity and 600mm Knauf loft insulation throughout. The layout allows for the possible creation of two additional rooms, or removal of the non-load-bearing wall between the dining area and lounge for a more open-plan arrangement.

Technology & Connectivity

Cat 6 ethernet to seven rooms via a TP-Link 24-port managed switch; Digital TV and FM to eight rooms via a Labgear 12-way amplifier; Bang & Olufsen link system to six rooms for independent or party-mode audio and video distribution. Philips Hue lighting throughout — colour hue on the upper floor and lower terrace — with app and voice control, programmable scheduling and conventional switches. External socket prewired for EV charging.

Heating & Plumbing

Completely replumbed with a new Vaillant gas boiler, hot water storage tank and VRC 7000 system, specified by Vaillant with future heat pump integration built in. Underfloor heating zones are controlled by wireless Heatmiser thermostats; radiators by Vaillant ambiSENSE thermostatic valves with app control and open-window sensing. Two self-draining Swedish external taps prevent any risk of freezing.

Kitchen

Bespoke hand-painted kitchen by English Hardwood Design (Sculleries of Stockbridge) with Silestone worktops and integrated utility and boiler cupboards. Full Miele appliance suite: microwave/oven combi, two ovens, two warming drawers, steam oven, dishwasher, two fridges, two freezers, induction hob with auto-linked extractor and Quooker boiling water tap.

Bathrooms

Rear shower room designed for disabled use: full wetroom, Duravit basin, Hansgrohe shower system with handrail and folding seat, and Geberit AquaClean Mera Classic toilet with remote and app control. Guest en suite: Duravit basin furniture, heated mirror, wall-hung toilet and Matki shower with Hansgrohe three-way Raindance system. Upper bedroom Jack & Jill bathroom with Hansgrohe Raindance system.

Additional Spaces

The music room is acoustically engineered with double-layer acoustic plasterboard to walls and ceiling, gold acoustic underlay, and space for piano, drums and mixing desk. The hallway features bespoke storage, walnut seat and shelf by English Hardwood Design. The upper lounge has a 3.7-metre picture window framing panoramic Bay and Lake District views, and a Contura i50 triple-aspect wood-burning fire.

External

Owners hold title to land opposite, providing parking for caravans, motorhomes, boats or five vehicles, plus two off-street spaces to the front. The south-facing lower terrace — accessed via three French windows — has porcelain tiling, hardwood decking and a Skargards Regal 220 wood-burning hot tub. The rear garden has a fenced vegetable area, raised beds, shed/greenhouse and a 5.2m x 3m Finnish summerhouse, with the gate opening directly onto the Lancaster Canal towpath.

Safety

Nest smoke and CO alarms in the rear lounge, kitchen, hallway and upper lounge — interconnected, internet-connected, monthly self-testing and motion-sensitive night lights.

A genuinely rare opportunity in one of Lancashire’s most sought-after village settings. Internal inspection is essential.
