3 bedroom detached house for sale

Raikes Farm comprises a detached dwelling constructed in brick under slate rooves in a wooded setting of three quarters of an acre. Access is from Fleetwood Road (A585) down a hard core road giving access to a couple of farm premises further back so Raikes Farm is nicely set back behind some roadside residences. The farmhouse is spacious providing circa 2000 sq ft living accommodation which would benefit from modernisation and updated facilities. The wooded setting would benefit from some tree felling allowing more daylight to the southerly side of the house.

The market town of Kirkham is only three miles away and access to the M55 motorway is only one mile away. The market towns of Blackpool, Garstang and Preston are all in close proximity and the area benefits from excellent facilities, garden centres, restaurants and recreation facilities.
