mouth would appear to be disappearing and some sort of normality is returning to the farm and land markets. Having said that, foot

inevitable may have to hap­ pen - the Government will get its way and the survival of some small farms as com­ mercial units is ju s t not going to be possible. Anyone looking to sell

Ribble Valley, will be met by an army of potential buyers of all descriptions.


; Demand is sky high, with Presidential interest pushing prices upwards. People want to live in the


country and they want to own land, whether it be for

a "big" garden to play with or part-time small-holding for a supplementary income or as "security" to preserve their view. In the case of the latter, quite often the neigh­ bouring farmer is needed to continue with his duties as custodian of the land, which is fine and can work well for both parties. The countryside is evolv­


ing and big changes are afoot. I t should neither


become a museum piece nor a dormitory village nor a polluting factory. I t should remain a great place for people to live and work. Let us hope that the bal­


ance can be retained and maybe we won't all go hun­ gry one day.

W L Ribble Valley Gem attracts wide interest Historic features blend with modern comforts in a splendid location E


XCEPTIONAL interest is already being shown in one of the North's elite "classic country house" homes which has just gone on the market.


Bramley Meade Hall, tucked away on the outskirts of Whalley, is one of the Ribble Valley's residential gems. It was built 120 years ago in Italian Renaissance style and has nine bedrooms, a swimming pool and even a recording studio and gym!


Yet there are classic historical touches - the Roman well in the gardens once served all Whalley and is mentioned in the Domesday Book.


Exceptionally well situated on the edge of the village of Whalley, the Hall is a few minutes' drive away from major motorway links and key shopping and amenity centres.


Security is well-catered for at Bramley Meade Hall. It has its own CCTV system with security gate and floodlights, a fire and intruder alarm system and telephones in all main rooms.


The Hall has an interesting history, exceptional character, many original features and yet a bright, modern air bestowed by tasteful restoration.


The current family owners received a Civic Design Conservation Award for their dedication and enlightened approach in taking the property back into residential use after 43 years as a maternity home.


Numerous marble pillars in the Hall did indeed come from Italy, while much of the woodwork is also original.


This air of tradition and sound good taste is effortlessly complemented by boundless opportunities to enjoy the best of modern living amid the comfortable amenities of Bramley Meade.


There are eight rooms on the ground floor, plus a 15-metre swimming pool which incorporates a fully-tiled Jacuzzi.


f c ' U .


The morning room, lounge, dining room, games room and study between them offer various features, including wooden panelling, marble fireplaces, ceiling detail, spotlighting and tasteful decoration.


The bespoke kitchen incorporates a five-ring halogen hob, electric oven, dishwasher integrated double fridge and granite work surfaces. There is a


cloakroom and staircase leading to the first floor.


The conservatory is open to the kitchen and provides a peaceful, alternative dining area. An entertaining room with a gr&nite bar leads off the kitchen and offers access to key parts of the house.


The master bedroom is on the first floor and its en-suite bathroom has numerous features - there are also two dressing rooms.


Two of the other eight bedrooms are also en-suite, and the remaining six share a variety of features. There is a first-floor kitchen and study as well as a bathroom, guest wc and storage room.


Facilities outside include a nine-car garage, a tennis court, log cabin, large garden store and greenhouse.


Formality and informality are blended in the three acres of garden, with •


specimen trees including a 400-year-old beech. A 230-metre long tree-lined private driveway leads to the house, and there is an original water feature at the side.


Bramley Meade Hall is now ready for.new owners who can continue its long tradition as an impressive but comfortable'family home maintained to the . best-standards as a jewel in the Ribble Valley crown!
