Nestled in the rural landscape between Bury and Rochdale, Fernises Farm presents a notable opportunity for renovation and development. This property features a well-maintained two-storey farmhouse alongside a mix of traditional and modern farm buildings, all set on approximately 48.75 acres of grassland. The farmhouse itself, offering three spacious bedrooms, multiple living areas, and a kitchen with larder, provides a solid foundation for modernization or transformation. With panoramic views to the south, the aesthetic appeal is undeniable.
The adjoining farm structures hold immense potential for conversion; local planning policies support adapting these buildings into commercial or residential spaces. Particularly interesting is the possibility of utilizing the traditional brick range and detached stone barn for additional dwellings.
Recent government initiatives such as Class Q also allow for modern barns to be transformed into residential units. Based on initial assessments, there's scope here to create up to five additional homes, significantly enhancing the investment value of this property.
Additionally, basic services including mains gas and electric are already connected, although attention will need to be given to drainage solutions which currently do not meet compliance standards. This offers both challenges and an exciting canvas for future enhancement.
