Description

This rural holding on the western edge of the Pennines comprises a three-bedroom stone farmhouse, a range of traditional and modern farm buildings, woodland and rough grassland, extending to approximately 8.08 acres. The property is accessed from the public road near Renwick, with the M6 around 11 miles to the west. The farmhouse provides about 1,590 sq ft of accommodation, including a living room, kitchen, dining room, washroom and WC on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a bathroom above. It requires full renovation. UPVC windows and doors are in place, while exposed beams and traditional fireplaces offer features that could be retained as part of the refurbishment. Heating is oil-fired. The traditional buildings total approximately 2,950 sq ft and include stone barns, byres and cart houses, alongside lean-to structures. A separate modern livestock building sits by a concrete yard. The listing identifies possible future uses for the traditional buildings, including residential, holiday accommodation, office or commercial space, subject to the necessary consents. A modest garden and orchard lie beside the farmhouse, with hardstanding and space for several vehicles to the west. The land includes mature broadleaved woodland and rough grassland. Mains electricity and water are stated, while the property has private drainage which the listing says is unlikely to meet current regulations and will need replacement. The sale is subject to applicable rights of way, easements and wayleaves.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Renwick Mill Farm has a distinctive canvas: a stone farmhouse with beams and open-fire features, traditional barns and larger livestock buildings, plus woodland and grassland across about eight acres. The farmhouse is a heavy, full-interior project, with worn and damaged finishes and staining in several rooms; the kitchen and bathroom also need substantial attention. The barns offer scope to explore other uses, subject to consents.

The numbers make this a difficult-value proposition at the current asking price. At £450,000, the farmhouse is about 8% above the local £/sqf average, and the purchase price alongside a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the overall cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That is a comparison with current local averages, not a forecast of the renovated property's value. The farmstead and land give the project unusual character and scope, but the economics need careful scrutiny.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the farmhouse around its traditional beams and open-fire features, renewing the worn finishes while retaining the stone-and-slate character.
  • Explore how the traditional barns and larger livestock buildings could serve agricultural, equestrian, leisure or other uses, subject to the necessary consents.
  • Make use of the wider farmstead setting, including woodland, grassland, hardstanding and the garden and orchard described in the listing.

Key risks

  • The stripped-back, heavy farmhouse programme spans damaged finishes and worn fittings in several rooms; allow for a substantial multi-room rebuild and a longer programme than a cosmetic refresh.
  • At this asking price, adding a mid-to-substantial works programme leaves the overall cost stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; this is not a post-works value forecast.
  • Staining and peeling finishes appear in several rooms; investigate their cause and check the farmhouse roof and structure, as exterior photographs cannot confirm their condition.
