Property description

DESCRIPTION This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a stunning and beautifully presented barn conversion with approx. four acres of land, located up on the hill at Higher Park in Shaw. Affording panoramic views, this property would be ideal for someone with equestrian interests as it also comes with a detached stable block that has two stables and a hay barn. Higher Park is a picturesque little hamlet that dates back hundreds of years and was part of the original Crompton golf course where Sir Winston Churchill is rumoured to have played. Situated a short distance away from Shaw town centre with its variety of shops and new metro link into Manchester, and the M62 motorway connection is only 5 minutes by car at Milnrow.

The property comprises of entrance hall, family room with wood burner, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a beautiful dual aspect lounge (originally a shippon) whilst to the first floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is an extensive block paved driveway parking to both the front and side of the property and also garage parking. The stable block is situated in a detached stone building to the side of the main house.

Subject to planning permission this house offers possibilities in terms of extending and re designing, there is plenty of room to add a large conservatory to the rear that will have the most stunning views over local countryside and further a field. There is also the chance of converting the detached stable block to either a detached dwelling for a family member or a large office to run a business from home either way, subject to planning there is scope to alter this property to suit your familys needs.

Externally to the front there is a lawned garden area with borders full of shrubs plus an absolutely stunning view over open fields. To the rear is a large patio area plus a low maintenance gravel garden. The four acres included with this house are immediately to the rear of the garden and although not currently used it has housed horses and chickens in the past.
