This property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a smallholding with significant renovation and investment potential. Set within 37 acres of grassland and amenity land, the property offers a blend of rural charm and accessibility, located just 0.5 miles from junction 34 of the M6 motorway. Lancaster city center, with its array of amenities and services, is conveniently situated a little over two miles away.
Moorside Farm is structured to accommodate various development possibilities. The existing farmhouse requires considerable modernization, providing an ideal canvas for buyers interested in creating their vision. Alternatively, there’s valid planning consent for the demolition of the current structure and construction of a new three-storey dwelling that includes an annex and garage. Proposed plans feature an expansive layout with multiple living spaces, ensuring ample room for both family life and entertaining.
In addition to the farmhouse, there are traditional stone buildings on-site that hold potential for alternate uses, such as conversion into residential units or other functional spaces. Previous planning consent was granted for a large four-bedroom barn conversion which reflects the property’s strong adaptability to various investment strategies. There are also modern portal frame buildings available that can be repurposed depending on the buyer's requirements.
The surrounding land is a key highlight of this offering, characterized by level terrain classified as grade 3 agricultural land under DEFRA regulations. This opens up numerous opportunities for farming or recreational use while being encircled by the property's boundaries—providing privacy and security.
Prospective buyers should also be aware of a proposed solar farm nearby which may influence future development plans; full details can be found through local planning resources. For those looking to invest in a property with extensive renovation options and development prospects in an attractive rural location, Moorside Farm holds considerable promise.
