Description

Nestled within a lovely hamlet setting, Steeped in local history, Wallcroft farmhouse is a gorgeous grade 2 listed farmhouse dating circa 17th century, retaining a plethora of characteristic features, oozing charm and is set within approximately 0.22 acre of generous gardens with far reaching views from the garden over rolling countryside and beyond.

The property comprises a traditional coursed stone farmhouse with stone slate roof. Stepping inside, you will be overwhelmed by the sense of history, charm and character of the property taking you back to a time gone by, providing glimpses of the past in every room. There are many original features including quoins, stone mullion window reveals, exposed beam ceilings, feature stone walls and the most incredible inglenook fireplace in the lounge. To the ground floor are three reception rooms, fantastic dining kitchen and downstairs WC. To the first floor is the main family bathroom and three double bedrooms. The second floor is host to large principal suite, comprising bedroom, dressing room and a generous size bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a lovely plot with wrap around gardens to the front, side and rear, planted with an array of established trees, flowers and shrubs. A driveway provides plenty of off road parking to the front. Accessed via the side is the integral garage with remote control up and over door.

The property enjoys a beautiful position on the periphery of the desirable villages of Wheelton and Brinscall on the cusp of the West Pennine moors, offering country walks and access to some of Lancashire's most beautiful countryside - you would certainly not believe you are only a short drive away from the M61/M65 motorways and only approximately 4.5 miles from Chorley Town Centre with its array of amenities and well regarded schooling. Whilst Chorley has more than its fair share of excellent state secondary schools, the private schools of Oakhill, Westholme and Bolton are also within easy reach. This unique property is in a lovely semi rural location, but also close enough to both the M65 and the M61 motorways to make commuting easy. A short walk away is the popular 'The Dressers Arms' - perfect for a Sunday lunch or relaxing evening tipple. This truly amazing opportunity must be viewed to fully appreciate the potential and delightful setting. NO CHAIN.
