Summary - Willow View Cottage, Kirkham Road, Freckleton PR4 1HX
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Substantial restored farmhouse with stable block and development potential.
About 5.8 acres (approx. 2.3 ha) of land and paddocks
Willow View Cottage is an impressive restored farmhouse set within about 5.8 acres, combining substantial living space with working equestrian facilities. The property extends to roughly 5,918 sq ft (549 sq m) of well-presented accommodation including a breakfast kitchen, five reception rooms and four bedrooms with four bathrooms. Period features such as exposed brick, beams, high ceilings and oak joinery are married to contemporary fittings installed during the recent renovation.
The grounds include a gravel driveway, garage with space above, brick-built stables for five horses, turnout paddocks and a drained menage (approx. 30 x 20m) with scope to increase subject to consents. An attached barn has been re-roofed and benefits from planning consent (application 14/0567) for part rebuilding and conversion to a two-storey annex — offering immediate living flexibility and further development potential.
Practical considerations are clear: the property has mains gas central heating, double glazing, and excellent mobile signal, but broadband speeds are slow and running and maintaining nearly six acres will carry ongoing costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the local area indicators show deprivation in parts; however, local schools, nearby coastal towns and good road and rail links make this a well-connected country base.
This home will suit buyers seeking spacious family living with equestrian or smallholding interests, or purchasers wanting to unlock further value via the barn/garage accommodation. The renovation work is largely complete, but the scale of the estate means prospective buyers should allow for regular maintenance and potential additional consent processes for any further development.
