Description

Nestled in the serene countryside of Farnworth, this historic farmhouse from the 1830s offers a blend of character and vast potential across its 1.8-acre plot. With five bedrooms in the main residence, a one-bedroom studio annexe, and two self-contained cottages each equipped with their own kitchen, lounge, and bathroom, this property is ripe for renovation and comes with myriad possibilities for investment or multi-generational living arrangements. The expansive living spaces retain much of their original charm, featuring exposed beams and stone walls that hint at their rich history while providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The heart of the home boasts a functional kitchen with original flagstone flooring and solid oak worktops—ideal for those looking to modernize while preserving character. The outbuildings, including a barn for storage and a secure shipping container, complement the sizable gardens that are perfect for leisure activities or children's games. With ample parking available and easy access to major transport routes, this property not only serves as an idyllic family home but also represents significant income potential through short-term rentals or business ventures in hospitality. Although currently comfortable, the property may benefit from modernization to maximize its investment appeal further. Positioned close to local amenities and schools while maintaining a peaceful rural setting, Holme Fold Farm invites you to explore opportunities to enhance its already charming features.
