The additional 10-acre parcel lies adjacent to the main farm and is marked on the site plan. Together, the land offers excellent agricultural, equestrian, or amenity potential.

The nearby A56 and M65 provide direct routes to Blackburn, Burnley, Manchester, and Preston, making the property suitable for both rural living and commercial ventures.
