Summary - LITTLE HOLCOMBE THE BARN LUMB CARR ROAD HOLCOMBE BURY BL8 4NJ
5 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Generous family living on about an acre with panoramic countryside views.
Five bedrooms and three bathrooms across 4,304 sqft of living space
Set within roughly an acre of private grounds in the picturesque village of Holcombe, The Barn is a spacious five-bedroom detached conversion offering 4,304 sqft of versatile living. Converted in 1983 from a 19th-century stone barn, the house combines exposed stonework, high ceilings and original arches with modern comforts such as a newly fitted ensuite, sauna and a fitted farmhouse kitchen. Large principal bedroom, sitting room with far-reaching countryside views and a minstrels' gallery give the home abundant character and flexible family space.
Practical strengths include a double garage, cobbled courtyard with multiple parking spaces, mains gas central heating and convenient access to local lanes, schools and commuter routes to Bury and Manchester. The ground-floor layout supports multi-generational living or home-working: a study with French doors opens onto the secure lawn, while a separate games room with garden entrance has previously served as a gym or home office.
Notable considerations: the original stone walls are assumed to have no insulation and may need improvement for long-term energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are average for the area and council tax is in the higher band (Band G). The property is offered chain-free, but its age and construction mean some sensitive maintenance or upgrading could be expected over time.
For families seeking space, countryside access and character, this barn delivers generous rooms, secure gardens and an acre of field and woodland for children and pets. Buyers wanting lower running costs or modern thermal performance should factor potential insulation and energy improvements into their plans.
