Set high above rolling Lancashire farmland, this traditional stone farmhouse cluster occupies about 1.6 acres and combines period character with substantial outbuildings. The main farmhouse (four bedrooms) features stone-flagged floors, fireplaces and shuttered windows; a separate 2–3 bedroom cottage and a large detached stone barn provide flexible use — extended family living, holiday income, or a renovation project. Broadband speeds are reported fast and the site has good road and motorway access while remaining rural and tranquil with far-reaching views.
Practical details: the house dates from c.1930–1949, has LPG-fired radiators, double glazing installed before 2002 and sandstone/limestone walls assumed without insulation. There are two bathrooms for six bedrooms and an attached garage; council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk. The hamlet setting offers privacy and mature planting, with nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good to Outstanding.
This is a genuine refurbishment opportunity for buyers who want a character farmhouse with very large grounds and substantial conversion potential. Some upgrades — thermal insulation, modern glazing, and possible heating system changes — are likely required to improve energy efficiency and comfort. The property is offered chain free, making it suitable for an owner-occupier family, a multi-generational household, or an investor looking to create separate income units.
