A rare and exceptional country opportunity - farmhouse, outbuildings and approximately 14 acres of land, with the additional opportunity to acquire the neighbouring cottage

Genuinely rare opportunities such as this are few and far between. Occupying an idyllic rural setting in the highly regarded area of Roughlee, this charming semi-detached farmhouse offers an enviable opportunity to embrace country living, with a substantial and characterful family home, an extensive range of outbuildings and approximately 14 acres of adjoining land.

Approached via a private driveway off Jinny Lane, shared only with the neighbouring cottage, the sense of seclusion and rural tranquillity is immediate. Surrounded by open countryside, the setting provides an appealing combination of privacy, space and potential, with the property offering an exciting canvas for those looking to create something truly special.

The farmhouse itself offers generous and versatile accommodation, retaining plenty of traditional country character whilst providing the space and flexibility demanded by modern family life.

The accommodation is typically entered via a useful utility room, fitted with a sink unit, work surfaces and plumbing for a washing machine, together with space for a tumble dryer. A doorway leads into what is undoubtedly the heart of the home: An impressive family dining kitchen extending to approximately 40ft. A wonderfully sociable space, the kitchen is fitted with oak base units, a matching central island, granite work surfaces and Bosch cooking appliances. A gate provides access through to the adjoining living accommodation, comprising a comfortable living room, separate dining room and an additional sitting room, each offering its own character and atmosphere. Both the dining room and sitting room enjoy the warmth and charm of wood-burning stoves, whilst the sitting room also benefits from an entrance porch. Returning to the kitchen, a further side entrance hall provides useful storage and access to a 2pc cloakroom.

An oak staircase rises from the kitchen to the first floor, where four bedrooms are arranged around the landing. The principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of an open dressing area leading through to a particularly spacious 4pce en-suite bathroom, comprising a roll-top bath with shower attachment, separate shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and WC. The remaining accommodation includes a good-sized double bedroom and two single bedrooms, all served by a separate 3pc shower room.

Outbuildings, equestrian facilities & land

The external facilities are a particularly appealing feature of this property and offer considerable scope for a variety of rural, equestrian and smallholding pursuits.

The private driveway leads to ample off-road parking and continues to a traditional cobbled courtyard area, around which a range of useful outbuildings are positioned. These include a four-horse stable block with hay loft and mezzanine storage, together with a Nissen hut, agricultural barn, garage, animal pens, livestock stores and an old piggery. Whilst a number of the buildings would now benefit from attention and restoration, they offer an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to adapt and potentially reinstate the facilities to suit their own requirements.

The adjoining land extends to approximately 14 acres, comprising the first field immediately to the left of the driveway and the land directly behind the farmhouse and outbuildings. This provides a wonderful opportunity for equestrian use, grazing, smallholding interests or simply enjoying the space and freedom that comes with owning your own piece of Lancashire countryside.

A separate boiler and service room is positioned between the farmhouse and neighbouring cottage, housing the wall-mounted Worcester boiler and hot water cylinder.
An opportunity that could be something truly extraordinary


Whilst the farmhouse, land and outbuildings are an exceptional proposition in their own right, what makes this opportunity particularly exciting is the additional possibility of acquiring the neighbouring cottage, which remains under the same family ownership and is also available by separate negotiation.

The acquisition of both properties would present a genuinely unique opportunity to create an impressive, detached country residence, potentially combining the existing accommodation to form a substantial and highly individual home, set within approximately 19 acres of its own land.

The possibilities are compelling. Whether the vision is to create an outstanding family home, an idyllic rural retreat, an impressive country estate or a lifestyle property with extensive equestrian and agricultural facilities, the opportunity to bring both properties together is one that rarely presents itself.
