Brow Bottom, Grindleton, Ribble Valley

Athertons Property & Land are delighted to bring to the market this development opportunity situated in a much sought after Ribble Valley location. With approximately 22 acres of adjoining land, three bedroom farmhouse, an attached barn ready for conversion and several long standing agricultural buildings, this property provides a number of different development opportunities suiting a wide variety of buyers.

The property is located in a fantastic plot in Grindleton village with beautiful open views towards the River Ribble and Pendle Hill. Steeped in history, this is a rare opportunity to create a home and a retreat to the country that is both wild and beautiful – and all yours!

The homestead boasts 22 acres of good grassland on which you could create a fabulous hobby farm or equestrian facility. Alternatively, with the help of stewardship grants, you have the potential to create an environmental haven on land that is highly unlikely to ever be developed upon.

The current farmhouse has great potential for extension to the rear making the most of the beautiful southerly views and creating a show-stopping family home. The large attached stone barn also has massive potential for conversion currently stretching to approximately 2500 square foot over two floors.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate what this amazing development opportunity has to offer.
