Four-acre equestrian property with workshop and strong business potential.
4 acres with 20x40m dressage menage and three large paddocks
Close House Farm is a rare 4-acre equestrian and family property that combines a characterful farmhouse with extensive outbuildings and paddocks. The house offers multiple reception rooms, a conservatory, and a large lounge with a wood/coal burner, while the upstairs layout includes four double bedrooms with two en suites and a standout bathroom with spa bath and power shower/sauna. Outdoors there is a 20 x 40m dressage menage, eight stables, two tack rooms, two kennels and three large paddocks — most with auto drinkers and electric supply to the stables.
The site includes a substantial workshop/store (72 sq m) and a rear yard with scope for business uses (lodges, yurts, caravans or camping are suggested options). The location sits quietly at the end of a long drive yet remains accessible to Wigan, Bolton, Leigh and main motorways, making it practical for mixed residential and commercial use.
