Knott Hill Farm is an atmospheric Grade II farmhouse set in c.4.98 acres of gardens, fields and woodland within the Forest of Bowland. The 18th-century core and converted barn provide generous, well-proportioned living spaces: three reception rooms, a large dining kitchen with Aga, four double bedrooms, two attic rooms and three bath/shower rooms — all arranged over multiple floors with plenty of original stone and timber character.
The property offers substantial outbuildings that add real versatility: an attached double-height stone barn with power and concrete floor, shippons, workshop, boiler/laundry room, a large modern agricultural building and a stable block. These spaces suit garaging, storage, equestrian use or potential conversion (subject to consent), and there is extensive parking and gated access for privacy.
Practical strengths include full-fibre gigabit broadband (B4RN), mains electricity, private spring-fed water with filtration, two wood-burning stoves and oil-fired central heating. The grounds include a productive kitchen garden with greenhouse, two fields, woodland with Warm Beck stream and safe enclosed paddocks — a strong offer for family life, smallholding or a rural business base.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate planning and repair works; drainage is to a private tank; the property uses oil heating (not a community supply); mobile signal is absent; council tax is described as quite expensive; and there is a medium flood risk. Two public footpaths cross parts of the land and a third party owns the spring source supplying the property.
