*SUPERB LIVESTOCK FARM WITH GREAT POTENTIAL*

The property will be of interest to a variety of purchasers, ranging from Agricultural, Equestrian, Lifestyle and Investors.
The property is located on a private road just under a mile from Crawshawbooth Village centre, positioned in an elevated situation with open and rural views across the Rossendale Valley.

The property offers fantastic potential for a wide range of alternative uses, subject to gaining the necessary Planning Consents. The attached traditional stone barn already benefits from Planning Consent for residential conversion or could allow for a farmhouse extension. The remaining buildings also offer great scope for residential conversion for a variety of amenity/equestrian uses.

Given the property location and surrounding landscape, the Land and Property would also favour potential future Leisure or Environmental Pursuits, subject to gaining the necessary Planning Consents involved.

Farmhouse
Hugh Rake Farmhouse includes a date stone of 1732 and is Grade 2 Listed, being constructed of white-washed course sandstone under a stone slate roof with character features including recessed chamfered mullion windows, internal exposed timber work and flagged floors. The property includes the attached traditional stone barn to the eastern gable.

The Farmhouse is generally accessed via the kitchen with original flagged floors, exposed beamed ceiling, Belfast sink and solid fuel stove. A pantry is positioned to the rear of the kitchen, with a further sitting room and scullery/washroom positioned to the ground floor. The living room includes an original feature fireplace with solid fuel burning stove, exposed timber beams and staircase leading to the first floor.
To the first floor is the family bathroom and two good sized bedrooms, each containing Victorian cast iron fireplaces, exposed beam work and solid oak floorboards.

The farmhouse is set separately away from the farm buildings and benefits from a large walled garden with original stone flagged pathway, lawned area, ornamental flower beds and various fruit trees to one side.

The farmhouse does require a programme of modernisation and refurbishment but provides scope for alteration and extension to individual purchaser’s own tastes and specifications. The farmhouse does already benefit from Listed Building Consent for proposed repair and alteration works as detailed under Application No: 2021/0549.

Buildings
Attached to the farmhouse is a Grade 2 Listed stone built double height barn under a stone slate roof, which benefits from Planning Consent under Application No: 2021/0589 for conversion into a single two bedroom dwelling. The barn also offers potential for the extension of the farmhouse, subject to gaining the necessary Planning Consents. The remaining farm buildings at Hugh Rake Farm are centred around a large traditional detached stone built barn/shippon which has further excellent potential for a range of alternative uses, subject to the necessary Planning Consents. In addition, a further range of more modern type buildings include a lean-to, covered yard, two waring timber constructed cubicle buildings, three bay general purpose building, block built cubicle house and a five bay steel portal frame general purpose building.

Land
Hugh Rake Farm is sat at approx. 300m above sea level and extends to 73.73 acres (29.84 hectares), or thereabouts. This land is divided into 10 individual field enclosures, with all the land being down to permanent pasture grassland, being a mixture of pasture, meadow and upland rough grazing. All the land is positioned within a ring fence surrounding the farmhouse and buildings.
