This Grade II listed farmhouse and adjacent barn present a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in an attractive rural setting. Nestled in a picturesque landscape, the property is part of a small cluster of historic homes, offering both privacy and community. It enjoys an elevated position that provides scenic views while remaining conveniently located—just 25 miles from Manchester, 12.5 miles from Preston, and only 3.4 miles from the market town of Chorley.
The structures date back to 1692, showcasing traditional stone construction with character that can be enhanced through careful restoration. A portion of the barn was adeptly converted into living space in the 1980s, featuring essential areas such as a kitchen/family room, lounge, and bedrooms. However, further sections of the barn and the farmhouse itself are currently in need of significant refurbishment, presenting an excellent canvas for those looking to invest in property development.
Currently under planning application (No. 23/00655/FLK) with Chorley Borough Council for extension and renovation, this site holds considerable potential for transformation into modern residential accommodations while preserving its historical essence. The existing layout allows for creative redesign; the ground floor of Unit B includes essential living spaces while its first floor accommodates three bedrooms including a principal suite.
Unit A, the farmhouse, offers substantial space across two floors but requires extensive work to realize its full potential. Both units come with designated parking bays and are served by mains water and electricity, along with septic tank drainage.
As a freehold property without immediate neighboring developments looming overhead, this location combines rural charm with the promise of modern living. With thoughtful renovations following local guidelines, this property could become a stunning family home or an attractive investment opportunity within a sought-after area.
