Parkside Farm, Tatham, Tatham, LA2

A Remarkable 25-Acre Rural Holding With Two Independent Dwellings, Equestrian Facilities & Far-Reaching Countryside Views

Parkside Farm is an exceptional rural property offering a rare combination of space, flexibility and genuine countryside living. Set within approximately 25 acres in the beautiful rural parish of Tatham, the property brings together a substantial five-bedroom detached farmhouse, a separate two-bedroom bungalow, beautifully maintained gardens, a floodlit paddock with stables and outbuildings, together with extensive agricultural land.

Whether you are looking for a substantial family home with room for extended family, an equestrian property, a smallholding or simply the opportunity to enjoy a private rural lifestyle with land and income-generating potential, Parkside Farm offers an unusually versatile proposition.

The principal farmhouse provides generous and adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors, whilst the detached bungalow creates an entirely separate living environment, ideal for dependent relatives, guests, older children or those looking to work from home without compromising the privacy of the main house.

The property is approached into its own peaceful rural setting, with the farmhouse, bungalow and principal gardens occupying approximately one acre, beyond which the land extends into paddocks and productive agricultural fields. With wonderful open views surrounding the property and an abundance of outdoor space, Parkside Farm is a home where the setting is every bit as important as the buildings themselves.

The Five-Bedroom Farmhouse

The main farmhouse is a superbly proportioned family home, offering generous accommodation across two floors and combining the character and practicality expected of a rural property with comfortable modern family living.

At ground floor level, the accommodation is centred around a good-sized kitchen which provides the natural heart of the home. Alongside this is a separate lounge/dining room, creating an ideal arrangement for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The lounge provides a comfortable principal reception space, whilst the garden room is particularly impressive, with full bi-fold doors opening the room directly towards the gardens. This creates a wonderful connection between the house and its surroundings and makes the room a natural place to relax and enjoy the views throughout the seasons.

A useful utility room, dedicated office and ground floor shower room complete the downstairs accommodation, providing the flexibility required for modern rural family life.

Upstairs, there are five generous double bedrooms, creating a superb level of accommodation for a family home.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive. Accessed from a snug area leading from the landing, the bedroom itself is generous in proportion and benefits from a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and enjoying the wider countryside views. The accompanying four-piece en-suite bathroom provides a luxurious private retreat.

There are a further four double bedrooms on this floor, together with a family bathroom, meaning the property can comfortably accommodate a large family whilst also providing excellent flexibility for guests, hobbies or home working.

The farmhouse is therefore not simply a five-bedroom house; it is a home with the scale and flexibility to adapt around the needs of its next owners.

The Two-Bedroom Detached Bungalow

Adding considerable versatility to Parkside Farm is the separate two-bedroom detached bungalow.

The bungalow offers an excellent degree of independence and would be ideally suited to extended family, dependent relatives, guests or those seeking a separate living space away from the main farmhouse.

At its heart is a superb open-plan kitchen and living room, creating a bright and sociable space with plenty of room for both everyday living and entertaining.

There are two bedrooms and a modern three-piece shower room, providing comfortable and self-contained accommodation.

The bungalow also benefits from an adjoining double garage. Importantly, this provides further potential for those looking to adapt or extend the accommodation, subject of course to the necessary planning consents. The additional space could offer an exciting opportunity for further living accommodation, a home office, gym, studio or ancillary use.

The combination of the farmhouse and separate bungalow is one of Parkside Farm's most compelling features, offering a level of flexibility rarely found within a single rural holding.

Gardens & Grounds

The farmhouse and bungalow sit within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, creating a private and peaceful setting around the residential accommodation.

The gardens have been carefully maintained and provide a wonderful variety of spaces in which to enjoy the outdoors. There are attractive areas immediately surrounding the properties, together with generous lawns and established planting, all complemented by the magnificent rural outlook.

Views extend out across the surrounding countryside, giving the gardens a genuine sense of space and openness.

The garden room of the farmhouse, with its full bi-fold doors, makes particularly good use of this setting, allowing the outside to become an extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months.

There is ample scope throughout the grounds for outdoor entertaining, relaxing, gardening and family life, whilst the wider acreage beyond ensures that the properties enjoy a wonderful degree of privacy and separation from the working elements of the holding.

Paddock, Stables & Outbuildings

For those with equestrian interests, Parkside Farm offers an established setup with a fully floodlit paddock, stables and a range of useful outbuildings.

The floodlit paddock provides an excellent space for exercising horses and day-to-day equestrian use, whilst the stables and associated buildings provide the practical infrastructure required for keeping horses on site.

The arrangement is equally suited to those looking to establish or continue an equestrian enterprise, or simply to enjoy the convenience of having horses at home.

Beyond the residential gardens, the paddock and buildings create a natural transition between the home and the wider agricultural acreage, giving the whole property a genuine working-farm feel whilst retaining the privacy and comfort of the main residential area.

There is also excellent potential for the existing buildings to be utilised in a variety of ways, subject to any necessary permissions, whether for equestrian use, storage, agricultural purposes, workshops or hobbies.

The Land - Approximately 25 Acres

Perhaps the defining feature of Parkside Farm is the land.

Extending to approximately 25 acres in total, the property provides an exceptional amount of private and productive land rarely available with a residential property in this location.

Beyond the approximately one acre surrounding the farmhouse and bungalow, the remaining acreage is principally good agricultural land divided into a number of separate fields.

The layout provides excellent flexibility for grazing, equestrian use, agricultural purposes or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with owning a substantial area of private countryside.

The separate fields also offer practical advantages, allowing the land to be managed according to its individual use and requirements.

For buyers seeking genuine space, privacy and the opportunity to live alongside their land, Parkside Farm represents a particularly exciting proposition.

The Lifestyle

Parkside Farm is a property that offers something considerably more than simply bricks and mortar.

It is the opportunity to wake up surrounded by open countryside, enjoy a substantial family home, have independent accommodation for family or guests, keep horses from home and have approximately 25 acres of land at your disposal.

The combination of the farmhouse, separate bungalow, gardens, equestrian facilities and agricultural land creates a rare degree of flexibility. It could work equally well for a family looking for space to grow, an equestrian enthusiast, those seeking a rural lifestyle with land, or buyers looking for a property where different generations can live together whilst retaining their own independence.

Set in the beautiful Tatham countryside, Parkside Farm offers a rare chance to acquire a substantial rural holding with an outstanding combination of residential, equestrian and agricultural potential.

Properties offering this level of accommodation, land and flexibility are rarely available, making Parkside Farm a truly special opportunity within the Lune Valley.
