An extensive rural holding extending to over 6.3 acres, with substantial period buildings and exceptional development potential, bordering Sankey Valley Country Park
Description
An extensive rural holding extending to over 6.3 acres, with substantial period buildings and exceptional development potential, bordering Sankey Valley Country Park.
Stanley House Farm represents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial collection of period buildings set within an attractive semi-rural setting on the edge of St Helens, just off the A580 East Lancashire road. The property, which historically formed part of a working farm, now comprises a traditional farmhouse, adjoining cottage, annexe and a range of former agricultural buildings – all in need of complete renovation – together with areas of garden, mature woodland and open grounds.
In all, the accommodation extends to approximately 11,140 sq ft (1,035 sq m), offering tremendous scope for restoration or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
The principal farmhouse provides extensive accommodation arranged over three floors, with generous reception rooms and six bedrooms, while the adjoining cottage and annexe offer further ancillary or potential letting accommodation. A series of barns, piggery and outbuildings complete the holding, presenting ideal opportunities for conversion to residential or leisure uses (subject to planning).
The property enjoys a peaceful position adjoining Sankey Valley Country Park, with open views and access to woodland walks, yet remains conveniently placed for St Helens town centre, local amenities and transport links across the North West.
The wider grounds include areas of hardstanding (including areas previously used to house industrial greenhouses), grass paddocks and woodland – collectively extending to over 6.3 acres – offering significant potential for a wide variety of uses.

Please note that the Executors wish to include an overage provision over the site for a period of 30 years from the date of completion. The overage will become payable upon the occurrence of a trigger event, being each and any of the following:
- the implementation of any change of use under permitted development rights;
- the implementation of any planning permission; or
- any disposal with the benefit of planning permission (whichever occurs first),
where such planning permission or change of use extends beyond the existing footprint of Stanley House Farm and Stanley House Cottages Nos. 1 and 2, or provides for the development of more than three properties on the site.
The overage shall be calculated at 30% of the increase in value attributable to such planning permission.
The overage provision shall be secured by way of a legal charge in favour of the vendor, and the documentation shall include a requirement that the vendor be notified of any planning or change of use applications submitted in respect of the property.
Location
Stanley House Farm occupies a peaceful semi-rural position on the edge of St Helens, directly adjoining Sankey Valley Country Park with its network of woodland and riverside walks. The setting combines a sense of seclusion with convenient access to local services, schools and transport connections.
Local shops, convenience stores and everyday amenities can be found about 0.3 miles away in Blackbrook. St Helens town centre lies approximately 1.5 miles from the property and offers an extensive range of supermarkets, high street shopping, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities. Medical services are available locally, with St Helens Hospital around 2 miles to the south.
The area offers a good choice of schools. Ashurst Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, both in Blackbrook, are located around 0.5 miles away, while Grange Valley Primary and Nursery School in Haydock is just under 1 mile. Secondary education is provided at St Augustine of Canterbury Catholic Academy, 0.5 miles from the property, and Outwood Academy Haydock, about 0.9 miles distant. Rainford High School, which includes a sixth form, is approximately 4 to 5 miles to the northwest.
Transport connections are well established. St Helens Central railway station is located about 1.5 miles away, offering regular services to Liverpool and Wigan. The M6, M62 and M58 motorways can all be reached within 5 to 8 miles, providing direct routes across the North West, while local bus services link Blackbrook with St Helens and neighbouring towns.
Sankey Valley Country Park lies immediately beside the property, offering extensive walking and cycling routes along the historic Sankey Canal, which forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Additional open spaces include Victoria Park, 2 miles to the south, and Sherdley Park, approximately 3.5 miles away. Cultural and leisure facilities in St Helens include the World of Glass Museum, the North West Museum of Road Transport and the Theatre Royal.
