Taylors Farm Barn, Chapel Lane, New Longton, Preston

A rare and exciting opportunity to transform a remarkable 18th-century barn into a truly individual and spectacular family home. Taylors Farm Barn occupies a generous plot extending to approximately 0.23 acres and offers enormous potential for the creation of a unique character property in a highly desirable setting.

Constructed from traditional handmade brick beneath a pitched roof, this impressive barn has stood for over 300 years and retains a wonderful sense of history and architectural character. Whilst the building is currently uninhabitable, it presents an exceptional redevelopment opportunity for those with the vision to create something truly special.

For illustrative purposes, architect’s drawings have been prepared to demonstrate the remarkable transformation the building could offer. The proposed scheme showcases an impressive four-bedroom residence, including three first-floor bedrooms, each with its own en-suite facilities, together with a further bedroom at ground-floor level.

A striking open-gallery landing forms a key feature of the proposed design, complemented by a substantial formal lounge, generous entrance hall, boot room and cloakroom/WC. To the rear, the plans illustrate a superb open-plan kitchen and family room incorporating spacious sitting and dining areas, with access to a practical utility room.

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway, with existing garaging currently positioned within the grounds. The architect’s concept proposes replacement garaging set at an alternative angle to complement the redesigned property and maximise the potential of the plot.

Taylors Farm Barn represents an outstanding opportunity to breathe new life into a historic building and create an exceptional bespoke home combining period character with contemporary family living.

Site visits are essential to fully appreciate the scale, setting and exciting potential on offer.
