Description

This historic farmhouse, dating back to the 1830s, offers substantial renovation and investment potential, nestled within approximately 1.8 acres of picturesque countryside in Farnworth. The main residence features five spacious bedrooms complemented by a one-bedroom studio annexe and two self-contained cottages, each equipped with their own kitchen, lounge, and bathroom facilities. This layout is ideal for families looking for multi-generational living options or investors seeking opportunities in the hospitality sector or rental market. As you approach the property through bespoke iron gates along a private driveway, ample parking space for at least six vehicles greets you. Inside, the farmhouse retains its charm with original features like centuries-old exposed beams and stone walls that promise warmth and character throughout. The large living area unfolds into a cozy sitting room with a carved wooden fireplace, leading into a dining space accentuated by ship-sourced beams and a gas fire—perfect for gatherings. The kitchen combines functionality with aesthetic appeal through original flagstone floors and solid oak worktops. The external grounds are equally impressive, featuring distinct garden areas suitable for relaxation or children's activities, alongside a large field suitable for equestrian purposes. Various outbuildings include a barn for storage and an additional shipping container that serves as secure storage. Given its extensive size and unique layout of independent living spaces, Holme Fold Farm is primed for modernization to enhance its charm while maximizing income potential through rental opportunities or Airbnbs. With convenient access to local amenities—including multiple supermarkets within an eight-minute drive—this property balances rural tranquillity with practicality for contemporary living.
