Aldreds Farm is a strikingly spacious, newly renovated detached farmhouse set in extensive private grounds on Jacks Lane, Westhoughton. The house offers four double bedrooms, three contemporary bathrooms, two kitchens (one ideal as a utility/second prep area), and generous reception rooms including a dedicated cinema/entertainment space. High ceilings, large windows and a contemporary barn-conversion aesthetic give the interior a light, open feel while modern fixtures and underfloor heating add everyday comfort.
The estate includes substantial outbuildings: a powered barn, four stables and a peaceful pond, making the grounds well suited to equestrian use, hobby farming or simply country pursuits. The plot size is substantial (sources reference approximately 6–15 acres), providing privacy and scope for landscaping, paddocks or additional outbuildings. A garage and large driveway offer secure parking for multiple vehicles.
Practical considerations are clear and should be weighed by buyers: broadband speeds are very slow, which will affect home working, and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The property’s heating runs from a boiler with underfloor heating using LPG; while effective, LPG can carry higher running costs and may influence long-term energy budgeting. The buildings and land will need routine maintenance given the scale and equestrian use.
This home will appeal to families and buyers seeking a luxury rural lifestyle with equestrian potential and easy motorway access. It combines modern, ready-to-live-in accommodation with a large, adaptable estate — a rare countryside package close to schools and local amenities, but with some ongoing running costs and rural service limitations to consider.
