Greens Arms Road, Turton, Bolton

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Grade II Georgian farmhouse and barn. Milking parlor and silo for conversion and potential for additional units. PRIME LOCATION Stunning views.

Clough House Farm - Clough House Farm is a symmetrical late Georgian 'ferme ornee' and without coincidence is almost identical to Turton Old School House further down the hillside in Chapeltown. The design is known as Jacobean Revival and whilst it is not known for certain it is presumed to be a gentleman's residence built for James Kay, formerly of Turton Tower, for one of his sons. Not surprisingly, the main farmhouse and barns are Grade II listed buildings of historical interest.

Over nearly 200 years additions have been made to the development with a milking parlour and storage silos which are now derelict.

With our client’s co-operation we brought in a well-respected architect from Manchester who are specialists in period properties. After his visit said, 'What a fascinating collection of buildings'. He engaged with the planning and conservation officer for Growth Lancashire who are enthusiastic about supporting a thoughtful, well considered scheme.

As a result of initial marketing an agreement to sell was reached, tied to an option to purchase, which has now expired. The application for the scheme can be found on the Blackburn with Darwen Council Planning Portal reference number 10/22/0439 and went live on 25th May 2022.
The current scheme provides for the conversion of the main listed building into two dwellings, the former milk parlour into three units and the erection of four further dwellings. (Please note historic consent had been granted for the conversion of the milking parlour into one substantial detached dwelling). All the relevant information to support the application can be found on the Portal. The the Planning Officer dealing with the application is Martin Kenny.

It is an ambitious and exciting project located within a beauty spot and an area where high net worth sales are achieved. Please note that the site includes approximately 24 acres of grazing land which is within Greenbelt (solicitors will confirm the specific boundaries and acreage).
