* SMALLHOLDING * HUGE POTENTIAL *
Wilmans Farm comprises a superb smallholding with great potential and including a character 3/4 bedroom, double fronted stone farmhouse, a large traditional attached stone barn, an additional attached stone barn/stable and a further range of traditional and more modern former agricultural buildings, all set in approximately 10.97 acres, or thereabouts. This property will be of interest to a variety of purchasers, ranging from agricultural, equestrian, lifestyle and developers.
The property is nestled within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exciting small-scale farm in a much sought-after rural location, yet within easy reach of Bolton-by-Bowland, Grindleton, Clitheroe and the main A59 highway.
The property offers fantastic potential for a wide range of alternative uses, subject to gaining the necessary Planning Consents. The traditional buildings provide great potential for residential conversion and the extension of the existing farmhouse, whilst also offering scope for a variety of amenity/equestrian uses. Given the property location within the Ribble Valley and surrounding landscape, the land and property would also favour potential future leisure or environmental pursuits, subject to gaining the necessary Consents involved.
The property is accessed via an owned stone access track off Barret Hill Brow and it is a true lifestyle property, being of interest to those who enjoy peaceful surroundings, require additional space or have agricultural, equestrian or diversification interests.
Wilmans Farmhouse:
Wilman’s Farmhouse comprises an attractive and substantial double fronted character property constructed of stone under a pitched stone flag roof and including character features throughout.
The Farmhouse front door leads into the main central hallway, with the staircase leading to the first floor and doorways providing access to the living room, lounge and kitchen. The kitchen benefits from a window to the rear and includes base and wall-mounted kitchen units, stainless steel sink unit and central LPG fired Esse cooker, providing a sense of warmth and character. Off the kitchen is the pantry, providing for additional storage and plumbing facilities for a washing machine.
Both the living room and lounge benefit from windows overlooking the front, providing views over the agricultural land to Grindleton Fell beyond and providing plenty of natural light. The living room includes a large central fireplace with wood and tile surrounding, with the lounge also including a central cast iron fireplace.
To the first floor are three spacious bedrooms and a small box room/office. The family bathroom includes a window to the rear and bathroom suite comprising W.C, wash hand basin, corner bath with electric shower over and timber cupboard space.
Buildings:
Attached to the west elevation of the farmhouse is a superb large traditional stone barn under a pitched stone flag roof. The barn is primarily open to the eaves and includes a number of former cattle stalls and loft areas to the front. Attached to the eastern elevation of the farmhouse is a smaller traditional stone barn/stable, being a further double height stone outbuilding under a pitched stone flag roof, with both buildings offering excellent potential for alternative uses or residential conversion.
Attached to the west of the main barn is a red brick lean-to building, whilst to the front and side of the farmhouse and barns are further stone constructed outbuildings and garage, providing tremendous additional storage and space. Attached to the rear of the traditional barn is a block and red brick constructed former cattle shed and dairy, with the building now being within a dilapidated condition. To the west of the red brick shippon is a further concrete constructed former silo with retrospective loft flooring.
Land:
Wilmans Farm is sat in approximately 10.97 acres (4.44 hectares) or thereabouts, with approximately 1.72 acres comprising the farmyard, buildings and stone access track and the remaining land being a mixture of meadow and pasture. The land is classified as Grade 4 on Defra’s Agricultural Land Classification Maps for England and Wales and is made up of a number of different field enclosers positioned within a ring fence around the farmhouse and buildings. The land also benefits from road frontage and access directly off Smalden Lane.
