Tanpit Fold, Aughton, L39

Tucked away at the end of a private drive, forming part of an exclusive collection of just thirteen beautifully restored farm buildings, this is one of those homes people don’t expect to find.

And that is exactly the appeal.

Visitors arrive and almost always say the same thing. You would never know this place existed. It is peaceful, discreet and surrounded by open countryside, yet you are just five minutes from Town Green. That balance is rare.

Originally part of a former pig farm, the entire development has been thoughtfully reimagined. Barns, outbuildings and even the old slurry pit have all been transformed, brought back to life with real attention to detail and respect for their past.

This particular home, renovated in 2023, stands out.

On paper it is impressive, offering just under 3,000 square feet within approximately 0.26 acres. In reality, it is something else. The moment you walk in, the scale takes you by surprise. It is the kind of house that completely overdelivers on expectation.

The kitchen, dining and living space is the heart of it and it genuinely has to be seen to be appreciated. It is open, social and full of light, but still feels warm and grounded. It is where everything happens and where people naturally gather.

There is a separate living room for when the evenings draw in, somewhere to shut the door and properly switch off.

Outside, the lifestyle continues.

The garden is a real feature. Private, well maintained and large enough to properly enjoy. It catches the sun throughout the day and gives you the kind of space most buyers are searching for but rarely find.

And then there is the bar.

What started as a project has become a fully realised outside room. A place to relax, socialise and enjoy the garden from a completely different perspective. It adds something to the house that you cannot easily replicate.

Step beyond the property and you are straight into countryside. Walks from the doorstep, the Leeds Liverpool Canal close by and local pubs you can actually walk to.

There is also a genuine sense of community here. Something that is often talked about but rarely felt. This development has it.

Homes like this do not come up often.

Not with this amount of space, not with this setting and certainly not within easy reach of Aughton at this level.
