5 bedroom house

ACCOMMODATION An interesting and unique opportunity to purchase this 5 bedroom detached farmhouse with outbuildings set in approximately 13.85 acres of grounds. It enjoys a pleasant setting on the edge of residential development between Ashton and Oldham town centres. The farmhouse is believed to date back to the early 1600's and will require an extensive scheme of modernisation. The buildings are believed to be have been constructed in the 1960s and include garages, livestock sheds, storage and stables and offer further potential subject to the necessary consents being obtained.  

FARMHOUSE The farmhouse is of handmade brick construction and according to our clients is believed to date back to the early 1600s. There is evidence of some original timber framework and wattle and daub walling, despite this the property is believed not to be listed. The property was last renovated during the 1970s and at this time the upstairs space above the former dairy was converted into bedrooms 4 and 5. It has the benefit of a gas central heating system and uPVC double glazing but we do anticipate that the next owner would look to carry out comprehensive works. A garden area adjoins the rear of farmhouse. Internally the property comprises.
