This Grade II listed farmhouse and barn, steeped in history dating back to 1692, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled in an elevated rural setting, the property is part of a small cluster of similar residences, offering a tranquil escape while remaining conveniently located just 25 miles north of Manchester and 12.5 miles south of Preston. The charming market town of Chorley is merely 3.4 miles away, providing easy access to local amenities.
The existing structures consist of a stone-built farmhouse and a barn, with part of the barn converted into living accommodation in the 1980s. The remainder of both buildings has fallen into dereliction but possesses significant potential for transformation, supported by an active planning application (Number 23/00655/FLK) available for review on the Chorley Borough Council website.
The current layout features two distinct units. Unit B, which includes the converted barn, offers a total floor area of 1,804 sq.ft., comprising a kitchen/family room, lounge, and three bedrooms including an en suite in the principal bedroom. Unit A consists of the derelict farmhouse with nearly 1,684 sq.ft. of space spread over two levels, featuring several rooms ripe for creative redesign.
Mains water and electricity supply services are available at the property, along with drainage connected to a septic tank. This freehold estate stands as an attractive prospect for those looking to invest in restoration efforts that could leverage its historical significance while maximizing modern living standards.
