Spacious country home with huge gardens and open farmland views.
Detached chalet-style bungalow approx 1,497 sq ft
Whalley’s Farm is a substantial detached chalet-style bungalow set on a very large plot in Charnock Richard, with open farmland views to the rear. The flexible layout extends to about 1,497 sq ft and currently provides three main bedrooms (with a ground-floor principal and en-suite), plus a separate sitting/dining room that could serve as a fourth bedroom if required. Allocated off-street parking sits to the front, and mature planting frames the sweeping entrance drive.
The house offers genuine scope for updating: some mid-20th-century features remain, notably a narrow, dated hallway and spiral staircase, so cosmetic modernisation is likely needed to bring interiors fully up to current standards. Broadband speeds are slow in the area despite excellent mobile signal. Council tax is above average and should be factored into ongoing costs.
A notable external consideration is that planning consent exists for three additional bungalows on the adjoining side plot; this consent relates to the adjacent development only — the sale is for the farmhouse alone. The location suits those seeking country living with convenient road links to Chorley and the motorway network. Chain-free sale and freehold tenure make for a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting immediate ownership and long-term improvement potential.
For families, the property is near several well-rated primary schools and good secondary options nearby. For buyers seeking redevelopment upside or an extended garden lifestyle, the huge plot and open views present clear opportunities, while the need for internal modernisation sets realistic expectations on immediate investment required.
