Plus, outside there’s a gorgeous garden with plenty of characterful pathways created from stone, as well as a pool and a three-car garage.

For the lucky new owner of this house, a sweeping oak staircase leading to an imposing galleried landing will greet them each day, as will well-appointed reception and drawing rooms, perfect for entertaining.

Modern additions to the house include cabling for audio-visual equipment, CCTV, underfloor heating, an open-plan living and kitchen area, a gymnasium, as well as a spa and treatment rooms. The Priory's external buildings and features are just as impressive, too: the converted chapel is ideal for guest or staff accommodation, the orangerie and potting shed are perfect for green thumbed residents and the sunken decked seating area, stone gazebo and outdoor swimming pool and terrace is idyllic on a warm summer's day. There is also an impressive former aircraft hanger waiting to be used as a storage unit, private museum or event venue, as well as stables and paddock for horses and other farm animals. The Priory's grounds and gardens, which includes a walled garden, lake and manicured lawns, are incredible, too. Should you decide to call Colne Priory home, truly, there is little reason to leave – it has everything and more. Listed with Knight Frank, £6.25 million
Magic comes in many forms. It can be found in a child's smile, in the melody of a beautiful song, or in the pages of a captivating story. It can be seen in acts of kindness and compassion, in the unexplainable synchronicities that occur in our lives. Magic is the thread that weaves together the tapestry of the universe, connecting us all in ways that are beyond our comprehension. But magic is not just an external force; it resides within each and every one of us. We have the ability to create magic in our own lives, to bring forth the extraordinary in the ordinary. It starts with believing in ourselves and our own potential. It starts with embracing our dreams and following our passions, even when they seem impossible. It requires us to let go of fear and doubt and to trust in the unknown. It requires us to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities. Magic cannot be measured or explained, it can only be experienced and felt. So embrace the magic that is within you. Allow it to guide you on your journey and illuminate your path. Believe in the power of the extraordinary and watch as your dreams come to life. Remember, you are called magic..
