Description

Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Lower Bartle, on the outskirts of Preston, this property offers a unique blend of rural charm and convenient access to urban amenities. Its location provides easy connectivity to major routes including the M55 and M6 motorways, ensuring that both Preston's city center and surrounding attractions are just a short drive away. The centerpiece of this estate is a detached four-bedroom farmhouse, which presents an excellent canvas for renovation. Currently holding an EPC rating of E, there is significant potential to enhance energy efficiency and modernize the living spaces to suit contemporary lifestyles. Complementing the farmhouse is a traditional barn that comes with planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom dwelling, allowing for additional rental income or guest accommodation. In addition to these structures, the property includes a building plot that has received the green light for a detached five-bedroom home with an attached garage. Spanning approximately 0.6 acres, this site not only provides substantial space but also offers varied possibilities for development. Moreover, there is an adjacent parcel of land measuring around 0.5 acres—also potentially suitable for development in accordance with current planning policies—that can be acquired separately. This added flexibility represents further investment possibilities in this sought-after area. This freehold property promises great potential for those looking to make their mark through renovation and new development while enjoying the benefits of picturesque surroundings and accessibility to key transport routes. Vacant possession will be provided upon completion, making it an ideal opportunity for investors or homeowners alike.
