Description

Strawberry Farm presents a unique investment opportunity with its charming blend of historical character and contemporary amenities, all situated in a serene rural backdrop. The residence features spacious interiors, adaptable outbuildings, and notable equestrian facilities, making it an ideal candidate for those looking to enhance their country living experience while also capitalizing on its potential for growth. Upon entering, the home greets you with an inviting entrance hall showcasing beautiful exposed beams that recur throughout the property. The main reception area offers a warm ambiance with its wood-burning stove and fireplace, complemented by French doors leading to a private courtyard—perfect for summer gatherings. A separate study and guest cloakroom provide added functionality alongside the well-appointed dining room and kitchen, which boasts a central island and integrated appliances. Natural light floods the stunning conservatory that connects seamlessly to a stone-paved terrace designed for outdoor dining. On the upper floor, you'll find generous spaces including a master suite adorned with rustic charm featuring fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. Three additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom provide ample accommodation. The gated entrance opens to well-established gardens with ample parking space, tailored for those interested in equestrian activities or country pursuits. The versatility of the outbuildings is especially appealing; they comprise five brick-built loose boxes, stables with wash-down facilities, and a sizable two-storey brick structure currently serving as garaging but easily convertible into office space or ancillary accommodation (subject to planning). All outbuildings are equipped with essential utilities. Overall, Strawberry Farm not only offers immediate appeal but also significant renovation potential for astute buyers looking to leverage its setting and features in the growing market of North West England.
