Description

Only a handful of properties have the ability to stir emotion and desire even before you step through the front door - this handsome detached home is certainly one of those. Oozing potential, offering fabulous views, being nestled on a mature plot this property is a real hidden gem, brimming with character and charm. Believed to be on the open market for the first time in it's history, this beautiful home has been in the same family ownership for over a hundred years, being passed down through the generations - it is only now, due to circumstances that the family are willing to pass on this superb opportunity for a discerning buyer to restore Lower House Farm to its former glory and create a truly wonderful family home. Dating back to circa 1654, built within the commonwealth era from handmade bricks from the adjacent site quarry it is understood this property was built originally for the Charnocks of Astley. Steeped in local history, the property is grade 2* listed. Stepping inside, you will be overwhelmed by the sense of history, charm and character of the property taking you back to a time gone by. Surprisingly and most unusual in a property of this era, many original features are still present - the York stone flooring, inglenook fireplace, the quaint windows, the ships mast staircase, original oak doors and the beautiful handcrafted beams. This property is steeped in history providing glimpses of the past in every room. Lower House Farm is in need of full refurbishment, with a current planning permission application underway. The plans have been creatively designed to give the property the love and attention needed without losing any of the charm and character within the property ensuring the discerning buyer can embrace a bespoke finish, creating a stunning family home in a superb semi rural setting. The property is most conveniently positioned, offering easy access to excellent commuter links - the M61 motorway is just a short drive away as are Chorley and Buckshaw Parkway railway stations offering direct links to Manchester City Centre. Nearby is Chorley town centre which offers a host of amenities, pubs and restaurants. In addition to this excellent array of facilities there is some of the finest countryside in the area on your doorstep along with locally well regarded public and private schooling. Call today to arrange your viewing of this superb project home.

External

As you drive down the tree lined drive way, Lower House Farm sits splendidly in its own gardens. Often called ‘The Hidden Gem’ it truly is a breath-taking property. The drystone walled drive lovingly hand restored by craftsmen, is a touch of time gone by. Similarly, the York stone patio is a wonderful place to sit to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the setting. There are large garden areas which are tastefully landscaped with vast lawned spaces, complimented by an array of trees, flowers and shrubs. A large sweeping driveway leads to a courtyard located to the rear with plenty of space for parking and the proposed garage and office.

Outbuildings

Away from the property are the owner’s kennels which are 5* licenced and part of the K.C. Assured Breeders Scheme. There are 16 kennels with whelping units and the flagged and cobbled courtyard are tasteful and in keeping with the property. A chalet is situated next to the kennels serviced with water and electricity, and is currently used as a grooming parlour and office. Both buildings have potential for many uses subject to the relevant planning permission.
