Summary - New Barn Farm, Studd Brow, Whitworth OL12 8LU
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious smallholding with barn, paddock and far-reaching valley views.
Five bedrooms in a detached 1830s farmhouse with period features
New Barn Farm is a rare, five-bedroom detached farmhouse with around one-third of an acre of paddock and extensive outbuildings. The property dates from the 1830s and retains substantial period character—sandstone walls, exposed beams and large rooms—offering an appealing canvas for family life or a smallholding. The site includes a barn with power and mezzanine, a dairy/utility room, greenhouse, garage and an outside toilet.
Practical recent upgrades include a new condensing boiler (under warranty), a large range cooker and several new double-glazed windows and composite doors. The house sits on a south-facing plot with panoramic countryside views and direct access to nearby moorland. The private lane beside the property is owned with the plot, providing controlled access and development potential (subject to consents).
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the kitchen and some internal areas are dated and will need modernisation, the house likely has uninsulated solid stone walls, broadband speeds are slow and there is only one family bathroom for five bedrooms. The wider area records higher crime and relative deprivation, which may be important for some purchasers.
This property suits buyers seeking rural character with room for hobby farming, multi-generational living or renovation-led value. It combines immediate usability (heated by a new boiler, mains water and garage parking) with scope for sustainability improvements such as solar panels and insulation upgrades, subject to planning and building considerations.
