LOCATION



Lying in the hamlet of Little Town on the outskirts of the historic village of Ribchester, the property is best approached by travelling along the A59 from either Preston, Blackburn or Clitheroe direction to Oaks Bar (junction A59/B6245). Turn in the direction of Ribchester following the road down to Ribchester Bridge and then spanning the River Ribble and Riverview is the first property on the left hand side. (To see the property's river frontage, park on the left hand side of the road just before the bridge and look across the river to see the property's river side location).



If travelling from the M6 take Junction 32 then along the B5269 towards Longridge and follow the signs for Ribchester. In the centre of the village follow the signs for Blackburn and the A59, and Riverview is the last property on the riverside before De Tabley Bridge.



Ribchester village is easily accessible and offers a host of amenities including Spar supermarket, churches, public houses and recreational areas. There are good routes to adjoining towns including Clitheroe, Whalley, Longridge, Blackburn and Preston and the A59 gives access to the motorway network. There is a junior school in the village and secondary schools are available nearby both in Longridge and in Clitheroe together with a number of private schooling establishments within the area.
