3 GREENGORE FARM, HILL LANE, HURST GREEN, CLITHEROE, LANCASHIRE A unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II* Listed building, a holiday cottage and two stone barns with full detailed planning permission to convert into a further two detached dwellings. All set in just over 15 acres of land. SITUATION Greengore Farm is set at the end of a private road, in a secluded part of the parish of Bailey and stands alongside the west boundary of the Old Deer Park at Stonyhurst, on the outskirts of the village of Hurst Green. Surrounded by open fields and woodland and having long reaching views, it s understandable why the current occupants have been here for 70 years. The property dates back to the 16th Century and is steeped in history. It is understood the property functioned as a shooting lodge for the Shireburn Family and because of their royal association, it has historical interest. It was only in the early part of the 19th Century Greengore became a working farm and the barn is dated 1818 to verify this. The hunting lodge which was just one large open plan hall was then divided up into rooms, much as it stands today to form a farmhouse. The current holiday cottage also played a big part in Greengore s history as this is thought to be where the caretaker and cook would live and several of the original features are still retained. Currently the cottage and adjoining barn are used as a selfcatering holiday cottage and camping barn. The property is well positioned between the popular towns of Longridge and Clitheroe which both offer amenities such as supermarkets, local boutique shops, petrol stations and much more, as well as having direct access either by road (M6 Longridge) or train to major business conurbations (Clitheroe). Greengore is also ideally located for good quality private and public schooling, sitting on the doorstep of Stonyhurst College or a small bus ride to either Clitheroe Grammar School or Longridge High School, to mention but a few. DESCRIPTION Greengore Farm is offering a rare opportunity to purchase a period property with just over 15 acres of land, a holiday cottage, numerous outbuildings and a large stone barn and camping barn, which also has the added benefit of having full planning permission for conversion of the main farm barn and camping barn/holiday cottage into two separate private dwellings. THE MAIN HOUSE Greengore Farmhouse is a Grade II* Listed building with real defining features such as the large buttresses which scale the external walls, as well as stone mullion windows and a large stone feature fireplace. The house comprises of breakfast kitchen with oil fired Stanley cooker, utility, dining room/snug and living room to the ground floor and four double bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor. Externally there are extensive mature gardens with a natural water feature and established vegetable plot. HOLIDAY COTTAGE The current holiday cottage is also Grade II Listed and has features such as exposed beams and still retains some part of the original wattle and daub walls. The cottage enjoys regular visitors and consists of a ground floor living dining kitchen with an old original feature fireplace as well as a shower room and utility room with one large double bedroom to the first floor. The opportunity still presents itself to continue the holiday let business, to generate a second income or would be ideal as a separate annexe for a dependent relative. CAMPING BARN The barn adjoins the holiday cottage and is let out for camping parties, again a further opportunity to generate a second income if so desired. The barn is open plan to both floors with cooking and dining facilities to the ground floor and an open plan sleeping room to the second floor. MAIN FARM BARN Serving as the main barn to the farm dating back to 1818 and is constructed of random stone under timber trusses, with a concrete tile roof. This barn has full planning permission to be converted into a four bedroom dwelling. Please see attached planning details. GARAGES Currently providing barn storage with an open stilted extension and space for a log store and machinery. This building now has planning permission to be converted into a double garage to go along with the barn conversion. WORKSHOP A generous workshop constructed of a concrete floor with breeze block walls under a pitched roof. Please be aware the building is subject to demolition, if the main barn is converted into a dwelling.
