Detached House for sale with 4 bedrooms, Landside Farmhouse, Hand Lane

Landside Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to purchase a custom-built property sat on a large plot encompassed by neighbouring fields, benefitting from spacious accommodation in the main residence, beautiful gardens, and a variety of versatile outbuildings within the property's grounds.

The property was once the hub of a working farm and has been a treasured family home since the late 1970s when it was first erected. This unique home provides its new owners with a wonderful opportunity to make it their own through modernisation and possible redevelopment. However, it is clear to see that Landside Farmhouse has been given the utmost care and attention through the years, with everything presented in immaculate condition.

The Approach - Pull off the country lane, onto the sweeping golden shale driveway, and a row of sculpted conifers leads you to the farmhouse sitting proud behind its expansive front lawn. An elevated stone turning circle offers convenience for guest parking, and further parking lies to the rear with access into the garages, utility, and kitchen for the practicalities of daily life.

The Living Quarters - Step out of your car and you immediately notice the peace and quietude of this semi-rural location. Take a moment to breathe in that lovely fresh air. A hardwood front door welcomes you into the porch, and the double height entrance lobby sits behind another door with stained glass window feature - the first of many unique charms throughout the home. The galleried landing is a beautiful statement feature, and the original polished beams and trusses add character, giving a nod to the property's heritage. This lobby doubles as a second lounge where a multifuel burner sits within stone fireplace surrounds, creating a super cosy vibe.

To the right of the central corridor that connects the living quarters, windows flood natural light into the sitting room from all angles, producing a bright and airy ambience with views overlooking the neighbouring green fields and colourful landscaped gardens. This room is such a delight to experience and will be just as delightful in the winter months as in the summer, where a roaring open fire with exposed brick surrounds will produce an orange glow and subtle crackle. Original beam work is on show here, and continues in the dining room, which is a room destined for great dinner parties!

The traditional farmhouse style kitchen-diner is a great size for family life and sits to the rear of the home, leading through to the working rooms including utility, home/farm office, working WC, and coal shed/log store, all of which leads further into the car port and across to the triple garage - a very practical setup indeed! For those with an appetite for development, this section of the property is highly suitable for building out and converting the car port and garage space into further living accommodation. Wander back through the kitchen and we pass the guest WC/cloak room in the lobby before strolling upstairs.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Each of the 4 double bedrooms are of equally large proportions, and like all other rooms in the home afford lovely scenic views of the neighbouring fields and your very own beautiful gardens! Though the bedrooms will likely be modernised, it's easy to see that they have been given so much love and care over years gone by, with fitted furniture and dressers all still in pristine condition, allowing the new homeowners the option to live in and modernise as quickly or slowly as they please.

Every bedroom is certainly big enough to accommodate an en-suite, and even a walk-in wardrobe and dressing room. The master bedroom already benefits from a contemporary en-suite, showcasing tiled walls and floor and a high quality 3-piece suite of walk-in shower with glass fa�ades, wash basin and WC - all in like-new condition. The main bathroom is also of a contemporary style with a Velux window and further tiling to walls and floor, and benefits from a 4-piece suite including bath, walk-in corner shower, wash basin with storage unit, and WC.

A study is also found upstairs off the galleried landing, and provides access to storage space within the eaves.

An Excellent Plot - Landside Farmhouse is set within an acre of manicured grounds, boasting lush lawns, private patios, gorgeous gardens, and plenty of practicality too! There is plenty room for all. In addition to the long, shale drive with turning circle at the front, the property also features a car port, triple garage/workshop, another shale drive/open air parking area to the rear, plus a sheltered vehicle port previously used to house farming equipment and machinery.

Within the grounds you will also find a growing patch with super rich soils to yield the best fruit and veg around. The veg patch sits adjacent to a traditional well-kept shed - a handy spot for all the gardening tools and other bits and bobs.

With the practicalities taken care of, Landside Farmhouse boasts beautiful gardens that warrant admiration from the most meticulous of gardeners! A sculpted hedgerow creates a subtle border between the expansive front lawn and landscaped rear aspects, where a small waterflow feature glistens in the sunlight and trickles into the pond, elevated flowerbeds sit atop stone walling, garden paths twist and turn between the shrubbery, and the patios soak up the warm summer sun - blissful!

The Best Of Both Worlds - Perched at the end of Hand Lane in a lovely semi-rural position, Landside Farmhouse has the best of both worlds. The rural setting is quiet and peaceful, while all the amenities of modern life are nearby too. Large supermarkets and retail parks offering a range of shops, eateries, and entertainment facilities can all be accessed within a 5-minute drive, and central Leigh provides even more choice.

Pennington Hall Park, Pennington Flash Country Park, and Hope Carr Nature Reserve are all local green spaces to stretch your legs and walk your four-legged friends! Sailing and open water swimming are also an option at Pennington Flash. And on the topic of sports there's plenty other facilities on offer nearby. Cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, bowling, and running are all within just a hop, skip and jump of the property.

The East Lancs provides easy access to the national motorway network, and top quality schooling in the area includes Bolton Independent School and Bury Grammar School.
