A rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed Farmhouse together with 2 converted barns with total potential floor areas of around 5,500 square feet standing within ground of just under 1 acre and situated in a lovely rural location yet convenient for a wide range of centres together with the motorway network and Manchester Airport.
The main farmhouse is believed to date from the early 17th century with mid 19th century additions and is in part of timber frame construction with a slated roof. The property requires complete modernsiation and restoration to the timber frame in part but does provide well proportioned accommodation with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms whilst to the ground floor the hallway leads to a spacious lounge, dining room and kitchen together with a useful cloakroom. Barn House is a semi detached barn conversion which would benefit from some straightforward updating and provides 2 double bedrooms with an additional mezzanine floor which could provide a third bedroom together with two bathrooms. To the ground floor, the hallway leads to a lounge, garden room, dining kitchen, cloakroom and utility room. The is also an attached full height carport which provides potential (subject to planning permission) for the barn to be further extended. Swallow Barn is a semi detached barn conversion (back to back with The Barn House) and requires a full programme of modernisation. The accommodation comprises dining hall, lounge, kitchen and utility/cloakroom whilst to the first floor, an attractive galleried landing with a wealth of exposed beams leads to 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. We must advise prospective purchasers that Swallow Barn is currently occupied by a tenant on an assured shorthold tenancy, however, the tenant has been given notice and it is anticipated the property will be vacant in November 2022.
The whole whole property stands within lovely mature gardens which are predominantly laid to lawn with well established boundary hedgerow and there is vehicular access to the from giving plenty of parking.
