Farmhouse, many barns, much land

We’re in Lottery win territory today. Full-on renovation daydreaming.
To be fair, the property I’m going to focus on did have a fairly significant price drop last week - down from £1.3m (£1.5m a year ago) to a nicely-rounded £1 million.
As I said, full-on daydreaming.
Cold Coats Farm (what a name!!) is a whole bunch of properties with potential, on the market for the first time since the 18th century and originally dating from the 16th.
At its core is the Grade II listed, four bedroom farmhouse below. Attached to that (by an ugly and unnecessary kitchen extension) is a two-storey building that could be a second property for an extended family.

Beyond that are a series of stone barns, set within a gated area, ripe for development as holiday lets or a wedding venue (there’s one massive central party barn), or as multi-family living. Wrapping around are its 19 acres of farm land, looking out over the gorgeous Ribble Valley.
Honestly, if you dream of starting a commune, or a cult, this is the place.

The nearest villages are Wiswell and Whalley - both a walkable mile or so, and nearest town Clitheroe (four miles away) with Manchester a 40 minute drive.
Actually, it also seems pretty perfect for the rural wing of No 10 North. Because nothing would reassure farmers more than Andy knowing his DEFRA bulls from his steers.
Here’s some pictures from inside the farmhouse.

Downstairs are four reception rooms, a utility room (separated from the kitchen extension), with four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and a large attic above. The sort-of attached building next door has one room downstairs and one up, and ground floor store rooms with separate access.

The size of the property and its add-ons means there’s limited space for pictures and information about the barns and outbuildings, but I do recommend having a look at the brochure, here, not least for the extra photos not online. Because the barns matter.
Honestly, look at the scale difference between the farmhouse and that party barn!

Cold Coats Farm is on the market at £1m through Ingham and Yorke. Details on the agent’s site here and on Rightmove here.
