With excellent access to the A6 and M6, the site is ideal for those seeking a renovation project with redevelopment potential, an equestrian or hobby farming base, or a rural lifestyle for those looking to acquire a property with land.

The adjoining farmland and nearby Lancaster Canal offer superb views and outlook. Carnforth provides an excellent range of amenities to suit many buyers, including families, which is supported by the highly regarded local primary and secondary schools, as well as for purchasers requiring good access links. The A6 provides access north and south, and the M6 at Junction 35 is a short drive away. Carnforth Railway Station sits on the West Coast Mainline, and offers excellent access to London Euston, Manchester and Glasgow.

The property itself comprises a substantial traditional farmhouse, which now requires full renovation. The property retains its generous proportions and original character features, and is an ideal canvas for redevelopment into a family home set within good gardens and grounds of 1.08 acres. The farmhouse currently provides accommodation over two floors, which is set around a generous central hallway. The property has been extended since its original construction, but would benefit from being reconfigured to make the most of the accommodation. The ground floor currently provides kitchen, sunroom, utilities, dining room, lounge and internal access to the garage.

To the first floor can be found four main bedrooms with a further bedroom, believed to have originally provided servants quarters, accessed by a second staircase. This could now be reconfigured to suit purchasers modern day tastes and requirements. There is a house bathroom that serves the first floor.

Outside, Thwaite House Farmhouse has a generous garden area which extends to 1.08 acres and offers a great space, ready to be landscaped. Beyond, the property offers a range of traditional and more modern outbuildings both attached and adjacent to the farmhouse. The buildings offer excellent scope and potential for a variety of uses, subject to planning consents. The buildings have formerly been used as a livestock rearing holding and more latterly as storage for machinery and garaging. The buildings provide excellent flexibility and could be brought back into their former life to support the holding as an agricultural unit. The buildings are referred to on the building plan.

The land at Thwaite House Farm totals approximately 24 acres and is situated in a ring fence around the farmstead. The land borders the access road leading to Thwaite House Farm, which is shared with neighbouring properties and gives the property control of its outlook. The land is separated into seven field enclosures and provides excellent meadow and pasture ground. The land is well suited to grazing and mowing, as well as for those with equestrian interests.

The holding offers an exceptional opportunity to restore and develop a traditional smallholding with land. Whether for private residential use, equestrian or agricultural purposes, the site offers significant potential for improvement and adding long term value.
