Description

This Grade II listed farmhouse presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment, set within an expansive 8.37-acre plot in an accessible area. Gellings Farm is ideal for those looking to explore various possibilities—whether you're a private buyer seeking a project or an investor eyeing future development potential. The farmhouse itself showcases spacious accommodations with charming period features that reflect its historical significance. While the interior would benefit from a modern update, it retains characteristics that could be highlighted through thoughtful renovation. The property consists of two floors, featuring a traditionally styled kitchen with stone flooring, beams, and granite countertops. A central reception room with a feature brick fireplace creates a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by a cozy sitting room with an open fireplace—a perfect spot for comfortable gatherings. On the first floor, you'll find the principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room along with two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom equipped with a separate shower. In total, the living space covers approximately 2,063 sq.ft (191 sq.m), providing ample room for customization to suit modern lifestyles. Beyond the farmhouse, there are several outbuildings that enhance the property's potential. An original stable block, which is partly Grade II listed, offers opportunities for conversion into additional living space or holiday rentals. Additionally, there are brick-built offices that include café and washroom facilities used for visitor services. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the substantial indoor arena accompanied by a sand manège and further stabling arranged into three distinct sections. The outdoor space includes two separate paddocks of 3.15 acres and 3.05 acres each, making it well-suited for equestrian ventures or agricultural pursuits. A large gravel parking area provides convenient access to all facilities. Located in Knowsley to the northeast of Liverpool, this property benefits from proximity to local amenities including reputable schools and recreational facilities such as parks and sports centers. The area is well-connected by major roadways—including easy access to the M57 motorway—and has public transportation options available via nearby train stations servicing Liverpool and Manchester. With its blend of historic charm and significant redevelopment potential within a growing community, Gellings Farm stands as an appealing prospect for those looking to invest in both residential comfort and future growth opportunities—subject to local planning regulations.
