Ashcroft’s Farm provides a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial redevelopment site in a private rural yet highly accessible location. Set directly off Graveyard Lane, in the Parish of Bickerstaffe comprising a five bedroom house and various outbuildings set in 1.25 acres OTA.The property is a characterful detached 5-bedroomed farmhouse which is in need of modernisation and refurbishment. This gives purchasers the opportunity to specify the finish to their own taste.

The property is a double height red brick under pitched slate roof farmhouse with a north / south aspect and independent access. Internally the house is comprised of kitchen/scullery, utility room, living room, sitting room, lounge and dining room along with useful storage rooms. Many of the property’s character features are still in-situ such as open fires and flag stone floors. Upstairs the property has 5 good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate W/C together with additional storerooms. The outside area includes a single storey brick and slate outbuilding used for storage. Car parking to the front with garden area to side and rear.

The property sits within a plot which extends to approx. 1.25 acres (0.5ha) OTA. The yard contains a range of portal framed buildings which offer scope for potential alternate use (subject to planning consent). The total covered space is in excess of 14,000 sq ft.

The buildings are in poor condition and in need of improvement and alteration but again offer a blank canvas to a purchaser to alter and adapt accordingly.

The majority of the buildings are Clearspan steel portal framed, centred around the yard area, the highlight being the large, steel portal framed block walled former grain store to the front of the yard. The property has roadside frontage and access directly off Graveyard Lane.
