Lane Foot Farm, Ealees, Littleborough, Rochdale

A remarkable period farmhouse in one of Littleborough’s most beautiful settings

Set within the picturesque Ealees Valley, moments from Hollingworth Lake Country Park, Lane Foot Farm is an exceptional detached four-bedroom period home offering approximately 2,077 sq ft of character-filled and remarkably flexible accommodation, together with approximately one acre of land.

Dating from the 19th century, this is a house with real personality. Original timber beams, exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings and substantial fireplaces sit alongside generous living spaces and an unusual degree of flexibility.

Despite its wonderfully rural setting, Lane Foot Farm is far from isolated. Hollingworth Lake is within walking distance, while Littleborough town centre, railway station, shops, cafés and schools are all conveniently close by.

A living room to die for

The showpiece of Lane Foot Farm has to be its extraordinary principal living space.

A soaring vaulted ceiling and magnificent original roof timbers immediately draw the eye, while exposed stonework and a huge open fireplace give the room all the character you would hope to find in a property of this age.

Windows connect the room beautifully with its surroundings, providing views across the gardens and towards the countryside of Hollingworth Lake Country Park.

It is a room that genuinely needs to be experienced in person.

The configuration of this part of the farmhouse also provides interesting potential to create accommodation capable of operating more independently from the main house; potentially ideal for extended family, guests or holiday-let use, subject to any necessary consents.

Flexible accommodation

Across approximately 193 m² / 2,077 sq ft, the farmhouse provides five bedrooms alongside substantial reception and ancillary accommodation.

Rather than imposing a conventional layout, Lane Foot Farm offers spaces that can adapt as circumstances change. It could work beautifully as a substantial family home while also lending itself to multi-generational living, working from home or guest accommodation.

Throughout the property, the original character remains very much part of the experience, with exposed beams, stone walls, fireplaces and individual architectural details creating a home that feels distinctly different from a modern development.

Outside

Lane Foot Farm is offered with approximately one acre, providing space around the house and a wonderful connection with its semi-rural surroundings.

Gardens, mature planting and outdoor seating areas provide numerous places from which to enjoy the setting, while the surrounding landscape gives the property a feeling of privacy and escape.

And for buyers who want country living without sacrificing everyday convenience, the location is particularly compelling.
