Green Farm
Available to purchase on the open market for the first time in 40 years, Green Farm at Lower Lane, Chorley has an abundance of potential.
The smallholding sits within the heart of the beautiful and highly sought after village of Chorley, close to the special area of conservation, Cannock Chase and the Cathedral City of Lichfield, which has commuting links to Birmingham and London.
Located opposite the village green in the centre of Chorley village, the farmhouse and adjoining brick under tile barns present a blank canvas to create the perfect family home, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Along with three agricultural barns and all set in approximately 4.02 acres (1.63 hectares) of pastureland. Green Farm presents a rare opportunity to bring a much loved property back to life.
The Farmhouse & Stables
The Farmhouse is a beautiful brick under tile property in need of complete renovation. It currently consists of a kitchen and utility area with rear entrance, dining room, living room with front door and stairs leading to the first floor with two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The majority of the rooms have dual aspect windows with an abundance of original features still in place.
Immediately adjoining the farmhouse are several stables, workshops and store rooms, originally used in conjunction with the farm and still containing many characteristics of its historic past. The feature wooden stable doors open into store rooms with vaulted ceilings, two mezzanine haylofts and additional rooms, which subject to obtaining the correct planning consents, could form part of the farmhouse to make a large family home.
The Barns
Barn One is a metal framed workshop / agricultural store with corrugated metal sides, an asbestos roof and secure sliding doors to the front, it also benefits from an electrical connection.
Barn Two is the former farm dairy building, being of brick under asbestos roof construction with two internal smaller store rooms to the front and another separate store to the rear. The barn is in good condition and benefits from connections to electricity and water.
Barn Three is set back in the yard area and is of corrugated iron and asbestos roof construction with doors to the front and an electrical connection.
Land
The pastureland immediately adjoins the yard area and has previously been used for hay or silage production or the grazing of livestock and horses. There is 4.02 Acres (1.63 Ha) of pastureland or thereabouts, which is bounded by mature hedgerows and stock proof fencing with picturesque views over the undulating countryside towards Lichfield. The land is crossed by an electricity line and the septic tank for the property is located at the bottom of the field.
Building Plot
Immediately to the west of the farmhouse and with access on to the village green, is a small plot of land which may be suitable as a potential new build residential plot.
