The property sits in a much sought after rural, yet accessible location, being to both the outskirts of Mellor Village and the Town of Blackburn. The rural position offers open views and peaceful surroundings, whilst the property is extremely well connected, having superb access onto the A59, A677, M6 and M65 road networks and is within easy commuting distance of Clitheroe, Blackburn, Preston, Bolton and Manchester.
The Grade II Listed four bedroom farmhouse and attached barn are understood to date from the 16th Century, being constructed of stone under a pitched sheet roof. The farmhouse requires a complete programme of re-development. The detached traditional barn is also constructed of stone under a pitched part sheet and part stone flagged roof, with the Planning Consent allowing for the conversion of the barn to create two family dwellings.
The placing of Lower Reaps Farm on the market allows builders, developers and private individuals the exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a rural development project in a much sought after private, yet accessible location. Development sites of this nature are not regularly offered to the market and this substantial site offers huge scope to a variety of purchasers, dependant on their own requirements, needs and specifications.
