DESCRIPTION
Hud Hey Farm comprises a 2 bedroom stone built farmhouse, a traditional stone barn, attached to the farmhouse, and a range of outbuildings together with a garden to the rear. The main barn has alternative use potential (STPP) and could provide an exciting development opportunity to potential purchasers.
Farmhouse:
The farmhouse provides living accommodation over two floors together with a cellar below part of the ground floor. The farmhouse provides a gross internal floor area of approximately 83 square metres (293 square feet). The farmhouse requires renovation and refurbishment.
The ground floor comprises a porch which leads through to the hallway where the staircase takes you to the first floor. To the left of the hallway is the lounge with an open fireplace which leads to the porch which opens onto Martin Croft Road. To the right of the hallway is the kitchen which looks out to the private rear garden. The cellar is accessed from the kitchen via the original stone steps which provides a very useful storage space.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms and a bathroom providing a bath, wash hand basin and WC.
Within the garden to the rear of the farmhouse there is former timber poultry building and a stone built storage building to the west of the carport. The rear garden is surrounded by open fields and is enclosed by mature trees allowing the property to enjoy privacy.
Main Barn:
The main barn, which is attached to the south of the farmhouse, is constructed of stone under a traditional stone slate roof and appears to be structurally sound and in good condition.
Outbuildings:
To the south of the main barn, there are a range of modern and traditional buildings all of which appear to be structurally sound and in good order.
A schedule of the buildings providing their size and description is included within these particulars.

PLANNING
The property is located within the borough of Rossendale and the relevant policy within the Rossendale Local Plan 2019 to 2036 is Policy HS12: Conversion and Re-Use of Rural Buildings in the Countryside. This policy is generally supportive of the potential alternative use of the traditional buildings subject to certain criteria being met.
We consider the main barn is suitable for conversion through a full planning application for residential or commercial use and could provide approximately 2,000 square feet of living accommodation, taking into account 300mm of cavity wall construction, over two floors or approximately 3,000 square feet of accommodation over three floors. The outbuildings, mainly buildings 4, 5, 6 and 7, would require demolishing to allow for sufficient car parking and curtilage space.
It will be for buyers to take their own planning advice.
