Situated on the outskirts of the charming hamlet of White Coppice, this property presents a remarkable renovation and investment opportunity. Known as Tootals Farm, it has been in the same family since 1953 and stands as one of the last undeveloped farmsteads in an area known for its natural beauty.
The home is nestled amidst picturesque landscapes with expansive views across three elevations, offering a serene backdrop that includes nearby moors. A short five-minute walk along a footpath leads to the renowned White Coppice Cricket Field, often celebrated as one of Lancashire's most scenic cricket grounds. The surrounding environment boasts an array of walking and bridle paths that trace the Goit waterway from Rivington to Brinscall, making it an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts.
This property boasts significant potential for redevelopment. It could serve as a foundation for creating a collection of high-value residential units or be transformed into a unique bespoke family home. The existing farmhouse, which sits at the front of the plot, features traditional stone construction under a flagged roof. Inside, it offers a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, and a bathroom over two levels but requires comprehensive modernization and refurbishment throughout. There is also potential for reconfiguration or extension, subject to planning approval.
In addition to the farmhouse, the property includes a large double-height stone barn with a side extension that benefits from northeast exposure and another double-height stone barn situated at the western edge of the site that offers stunning open views. A separate concrete block foundation workshop adds further possibilities for alternative uses.
The entire plot encompasses approximately 1.32 acres of gardens and grounds, providing ample space for various outdoor activities while maintaining privacy through shared access with only a few other users. Additionally, there is an option to acquire up to 14.84 acres (6 hectares) of agricultural land by separate negotiation.
Overall, this property represents a rare chance to invest in one of the final remaining rural development sites in this tranquil area—an opportunity not to be overlooked for those looking to make their mark in real estate or seeking an expansive lifestyle retreat.
