Described as the “ultimate countryside, family residence”, a five bedroom luxury home has hit the market with an eye watering price tag.
Secluded away from public view behind stone walls, security gate and 'high level' CCTV, this expansive family home sits in three acres of lush private gardens in Lathom, near Ormskirk.
On the market for just under £2million, Mainswood boasts five bedrooms, a games room, party room, log burning stoves, and underfloor heating throughout, reports Lancs Live.

Outside, the large rear garden is fully landscaped and surrounded by farmland and mature trees with an orchard, chicken coop, greenhouse and huge composting heaps.
It also has Indian Stone patios and walls, with three large ponds supporting a natural reed bed sewage system.
Active bee hives provide honey for the house each summer.
The large detached garage is fitted with two double mahogany doors and stairs leading to a gallery office area - currently used as a gymnasium - has spectacular views over the ponds, gardens and beyond.
According to estate agent Ian Anthony Estates, the home was built in 2002 by the current owners “with no expense spared”.

Each door, frame and skirting was hand made in solid mahogany, as was the sweeping staircases.
The solid internal walls were designed with insulation and sound-proofing in mind, while the party room features mood-controlled lights and a Bang and Olufsen sound system which runs throughout the house.

“Beyond the generous porch entrance of the main house there’s a beautifully spacious, light and airy entrance hall, a double length shower room with storage, a bespoke study, an extensive lounge with feature log burning fireplace, a conservatory overlooking the wonderful rear gardens, a fully fitted kitchen with morning room at the rear and a sweeping hand built mahogany curved stairway into the magnificent entertaining rooms in the basement area.”
