Cut Farm Barn

Positioned on a quiet country lane close to the desirable area of Halsall in West Lancashire is ‘Cut Farm Barn’. A delightful barn conversion surrounded by countryside and set in mature grounds with over 4 acres of adjacent land offering masses of potential for a wonderful equestrian home.

The Property
Originally built in the 19th century and then converted in 1997 this spacious home is located on a tranquil plot only minutes from the village of Halsall. Presenting a traditional appearance with features such as cobbled frontage, original beams and circular windows it delivers a country cottage feel throughout. Set within well-kept gardens the current owner has recently purchased over 4 acres of land to have its own drive from the lane up to the property entrance.

Ground floor
The home’s entrance leads into a central hallway, with quarry tiled flooring and a solid wood staircase leading to the first floor. The ground floor flows nicely with most rooms being accessed from the hallway. A country-cottage style kitchen sits off to the right with views over the side and front of the property. Featuring a gas range and farmhouse porcelain sink the quarry tiles continue through.

A spacious reception leads from the kitchen featuring premium oak flooring and French doors onto the rear garden with a large utility, shower room and W.C. off this reception.

Beamed ceilings appear throughout the ground floor.

A quaint dining room with brick feature fireplace sits to the left of the hallway and the main reception runs from both the hallway, the dining room and the second reception, allowing easy access from anywhere on the ground floor. A stunning inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove takes centre stage in this expansive room. Completed with an almost fully glazed wall and French doors to the side of the property allowing in maximum light, this a super ‘get-together’ room.

First floor
The first floor features a sizable landing showcasing an original beam and this floor hosts four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study which is large enough to transform to a further fifth bedroom. The primary bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom and is highlighted by the windows which continue upwards from the main reception.

The other rooms are serviced by a generously sized family bathroom with corner bath and separate shower.

Grounds and gardens
The main gardens are lawned and add up to approximately 1/3 of an acre. Easily maintained they comprise of lawn, hedgerows, and shrubs with a selection of healthy fruit trees including pear, plum, apple and cherry. There is a parcel, which was once a Dutch barn which has been pulled down and is now lawned but if the original footprint was kept, a garage or further outbuilding could be built without planning permission. A shed and wood store complete this section of the property.

Although the property is freehold there is a approx. 0.09 acre part of the garden that is on a tenancy from year to year at a rent of £150 per annum. This agreement will need to either be renewed or the land owner is also happy to now sell this land.

Adjacent to the property are a further 4.127 acres of agricultural land which has allowed the current owner to have a private drive from the lane to the front of the property. The rest of the land is currently ‘wild’ which would allow any prospective buyer to turn into paddocks and manège making it an ideal equestrian property.
