Description

This freehold Victorian stone barn conversion is arranged over multiple levels and currently provides one bedroom, with additional loft rooms and ground-floor store rooms around a central garage. The existing layout dates from a conversion carried out in the 1980s and would need reworking to make fuller use of the accommodation. The agent identifies scope to create further bedrooms, subject to confirming feasibility and any necessary approvals. The first floor includes a lounge, kitchen area, conservatory and shower room, while the bedroom has stairs leading to the loft rooms. Gas central heating is installed, with a boiler fitted in 2025 and stated to have a 10-year warranty. The listing also states that the electrics are modern and that mains services are connected. The conservatory roof is described as needing immediate work, and the property has an EPC rating of E. Outside, there is a walled frontage, a terraced rear garden and a garage with parking in front. The property is on Walmersley Old Road, on the edge of open countryside and around 1.5 miles from Bury town centre, with a motorway junction nearby. The current one-bedroom arrangement and potential to reorganise the space make this a substantial conversion and refurbishment proposition; any layout changes or extension would require feasibility and approvals to be checked.

Confidence: LOW

This Victorian stone barn conversion is a distinctive, substantial project: the existing layout could be reworked to make better use of the space, with unfinished loft rooms offering potential for a more characterful home. The stone exterior appears broadly intact, and the 2025 boiler is a useful recent upgrade; there is also a garage and a steeply terraced rear garden to reshape. The conservatory roof needs immediate work, while the loft staining and garden surfaces merit inspection. At £233,000, the price cannot yet be judged against local £/sq ft because the floor area is missing. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation estimate further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the existing accommodation to make more effective use of the barn’s space and character.
  • Explore the unfinished loft rooms as a route to additional bedrooms, subject to feasibility and approvals.
  • Restore the overgrown, terraced rear garden and improve its worn steps and hardstanding.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£85,000 works range, unfinished loft spaces and layout restructuring make this a full-scale programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The conservatory roof is stated to need immediate work.
  • Dark staining is visible in an area of the unfinished loft rooms, and the terraced garden’s retaining structures and surfaces need inspection.
