A historic property in Darwen is on the market for the first time in more than 40 years.
Lower Trees Farm, on Manor Road, is on the market for £799,999 and is situated in the Bold Venture Park area.
Ideal for homeowners looking for privacy, the property is situated in a “discreet little-known position”, surrounded by greenery and nature.
The property has a lot of history, boasting an attached barn which dates back to the 17th century.
The house offers many “original and interesting features”, including stone flooring, beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces.
The space has a rustic aesthetic with an abundance of wooden furnishings
When you enter the property you pass through a stone-built entrance porch and into the hallway. There are two reception rooms, a conservatory and a dining kitchen.
The dining kitchen has fitted wall and floor units, with tiled flooring and a built-in under oven.
A snug, with a beamed ceiling, is the perfect place to relax.
Also in the home are four “generous” size bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom.
The barn area can be used as a workshop and it has power and light. It even has stone divides previously used to pen livestock.
Outside you will find a long and leafy driveway, gardens, and a lake. A perk of the property is the vast amount of land it is situated on as it comes with around 7.4 acres of land.
The property is said to offer so much potential to a prospective buyer.
These included that in the late 19th century, the landscape around Bold Venture Park was a lot different.
Manor Road and Inverness Road were just bits of track running around the park, and Lower Tree Farm was the only house on that side of the park.
A spokesperson for Proctors, which is marketing the property, said: “For the first time on the market in over 40 years is Lower Trees Farm, occupying a discreet little-known position in the highly desirable Bold Venture area set back at the head of a long and leafy private track accessed via electric gates.
“The property is incredibly private and is set in approximately 7.4 acres with wonderful outlooks.
“Its conveniently located for moorland walks and trails, it is walking distance to the beautiful Bold Venture Park and of course the town centre amenities along with, rail, bus and motorway links.
"Development opportunities should appeal to discerning purchasers looking for a property with history, original features and stunning views.”
