Summary - LOWER BREX FARM BREX BACUP OL13 8NN
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious rural home with barn conversion potential and nearly an acre of land.
Over 3,000 sqft interior across generous reception rooms and bedrooms
Set on almost an acre with far-reaching Rossendale Valley views, this substantial stone farmhouse offers more than 3,000 sqft of living space and versatile outbuildings. The house retains traditional proportions across generous reception rooms and four main bedrooms, with an additional space used as a former fifth bedroom/utility. A detached gym/workshop and large attached barn increase scope for extension or conversion (subject to planning).
The attached barn previously held planning for a two-storey conversion, though that permission has lapsed. Reapplying could add significant living space and value, but prospective buyers should allow time and budget for a fresh planning submission. The main house is traditional construction (pre-1900 stone walls) and appears to lack modern wall insulation — sensible upgrading would improve comfort and running costs.
Practical considerations: heating is by oil-fired boiler with radiators, and broadband speeds are recorded as very slow. There is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms, and some modernisation is likely needed throughout. Water supply and wastewater have recently been upgraded, and off-street parking and paddock-style garden provide ample outdoor space for family, hobby farming or home business uses.
This property suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural setting with strong renovation or extension potential — families wanting large flexible accommodation, buyers aiming to add value through conversion, or those seeking a countryside base with good road access. Viewing is essential to appreciate the scale, outlook and possibilities here.
