Tootals Farm is set just off the edge of the desirable hamlet of White Coppice. This stunning development opportunity has been owned by the same family since 1953 and is almost the last remaining undeveloped farmstead in the area.
The property is situated in a stunning and picturesque location with a backdrop of the moors and beautiful unrestricted views to three elevations. The property is just a five-minute walk via footpath over the Lowe to the well-known White Coppice Cricket Field which is regarded as one of the prettiest in Lancashire. Superb walks and bridle paths along the Goit which runs from Rivington to Brinscall, one of the many attractions of this relatively unspoilt area.
The property offers tremendous scope to create a small complex of high value residential properties or indeed one bespoke family dwelling which has the advantage of up to a further 14.84 Acres (6 Hectares) available by separate negotiation. This property is going to be of interest to developers, speculators, equestrian and lifestyle purchasers. A rare opportunity and early viewing is advised.
The original farmhouse sits to the front of the plot which is a traditional stone under flagged roof dwelling currently providing for a kitchen, living room and single storey store to the ground floor and to the first floor three bedrooms and bathroom. The farmhouse is very much a blank canvas and needs a complete programme of modernisation and refurbishment and possible extension/reconfiguration (subject to planning consent). The potential of the site is very much within the farmyard.
Set opposite the farmhouse is a large detached double height stone under slate barn with side extension which enjoys a northeast aspect. A further double height stone barn is located to the western edge of the plot which enjoys stunning open views to the west elevation. A further detached concrete block foundation sectional timber workshop offers significant alternate use potential.
The whole plot sits in 1.32 Acres or gardens, grounds and orchard, enjoying a private access shared with just a handful of other users.
The property also has the advantage of up to 14.84 Acres (6 Hectares) of agricultural land surrounding if purchasers require, available by separate negotiation.
In summary, a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the last remaining rural development projects within the area.
