Summary - High House Barn, Dodds Lane WS13 8DL
5 bed 2 bath Farm House
Substantial estate with stables, outbuildings and over five acres of pasture.
Grade II listed farmhouse with substantial period features
Set within just over five acres on a quiet Chorley lane, this Grade II listed farmhouse offers substantial period accommodation, outbuildings and equestrian facilities. The main house retains character features — high ceilings, original fireplaces and exposed beams — and provides generous room proportions across three storeys. The attached brick double garage with loft, three-box stables, tack room, six-bay agricultural building and a ménage give genuine scope for equestrian or light agricultural use.
The property requires comprehensive updating and renovation; services are present (mains water, electricity, sewerage) but heating relies on an oil-fired boiler and the broadband is very slow. Listed status will constrain alterations and could complicate planning for extensions or structural changes. Council Tax sits at the higher Band G and running costs should be factored into budgets.
For buyers seeking a rural lifestyle, the site is rare: private, spacious and versatile. The large agricultural building (approx. 90’ x 40’) is in good condition and could support a variety of uses (storage, workshops or equestrian paraphernalia). The ménage and paddocks are ready for rejuvenation and the driveway and parking offer practical access and vehicle space.
This sale will suit purchasers who value character and land and are prepared to invest in sympathetic restoration. It will particularly appeal to equestrian owners, small-holding hobby farmers or families after generous grounds and privacy, but is not a move-in-ready home — budget for renovation, Listed Building consent and possibly new heating/broadband solutions.
