Description
Nursery Farm, Knowsley - a unique stone cottage with land for a small holding, subject to planning permission.
A rare opportunity to acquire a charming stone-built 17th Century cottage set within approximately one acre of beautifully maintained and landscaped grounds.
Approached via a gated entrance and a long private driveway, believed to follow part of the original Knowsley Lane, this characterful home retains many of its original period features whilst offering versatile accommodation for modern family living.
The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming lounge, spacious kitchen/reception room, separate dining room, study, utility room and conservatory and to the ground floor. To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate WC.
Externally, Nursery Farm truly excels with an impressive range of substantial outbuildings offering endless potential. A large brick and stone barn is complemented by several workshops, storage rooms, laundry facilities, office space, WC facilities and a detached tool room. There is also a covered vehicle ramp, making the property particularly appealing to car enthusiasts, hobbyists or those seeking extensive workspace.
The current owners operate a highly regarded boarding kennel business from the outbuildings, which includes dedicated kennel blocks and associated facilities. Whilst the property is being sold as a residential home, prospective purchasers may wish to explore the continuation of the existing business (subject to any necessary consents) or simply enjoy the extensive grounds and versatile outbuildings for personal use.
Combining period charm, generous living accommodation and exceptional outdoor facilities, Nursery Farm offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in a sought-after semi-rural setting.
Please note that an AML fee is chargeable once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks.
