Description

A charming 1830s farmhouse with panoramic countryside views across approximately 1.8 acres- Offering FIVE BEDROOMS in the main home, plus a ONE BEDROOM studio annexe, and two independent cottages, each with their own kitchen, lounge, and bathroom- Perfect for large families, Airbnb, or self-contained business units.

Discover a life immersed in the beauty of rural surroundings at Holme Fold Farm in Farnworth, where multi-generational living meets the tranquillity of the countryside. Built in 1830, this farmhouse brims with character, offering a unique blend of history and flexibility for families of all sizes, or those seeking opportunities in hospitality, or rural business.

Arrive through bespoke iron gates and follow a private driveway leading to ample parking for at least six vehicles. Step inside to a cosy entrance warmed by a multi-fuel stove, creating an inviting atmosphere to welcome you into this expansive farmhouse.

The main home offers generous living space with five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and four bathrooms. Historic charm is evident in every detail, from centuries-old exposed beams to stone walls that ensure warmth and stability year-round. The sitting room, with a carved wooden fireplace and rustic features, leads seamlessly into the dining room. Here, beams sourced from ancient ships and a real-flame gas fire set the tone for cosy gatherings. Practicality meets charm in the kitchen, where original flagstone floors and solid oak worktops offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The kitchen flows naturally to the family lounge, a spacious room enhanced by modern lighting, exposed beams, and views over the landscaped gardens.

Holme Fold Farm is ideal for multi-generational families or those seeking extra income. Alongside the main house, there’s a ONE BEDROOM studio annexe, a ONE BEDROOM cottage, and a TWO BEDROOM cottage- Each self-contained with its own bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. These spaces offer endless possibilities, from guest accommodation to Airbnb, rentals, or even small business units.

Set on approximately 1.8 acres, Holme Fold Farm offers six distinct garden areas, perfect for relaxation, children’s games, or enjoying wildlife drawn to the mature trees and hedges that create privacy and shelter. A large field is suitable for equestrian use, providing enough space for two horses, while additional outbuildings include a barn for storage, and a shipping container that can serve as a secure lock-up.

While secluded in a peaceful countryside setting, Holme Fold Farm is conveniently connected to the wider world, with easy access to the motorway for journeys near and far, and a network of nearby A-roads ensuring easy access to surrounding areas. For equestrian enthusiasts, a range of facilities are close by, providing opportunities for riding and training.

Local amenities include five supermarkets within an eight-minute drive, and Middlebrook Retail Park just over 10 minutes away. Families are served by a selection of nearby primary and secondary schools, with the independent Bolton School just 15 minutes away.

Holme Fold Farm is more than a property, it's a rural lifestyle where multi-generational living or a self-sustained business becomes effortless. Embrace the freedom to live, work, and play amidst Lancashire’s breathtaking countryside.
