Description

Set behind electric gates along Marsh Lane and occupying a plot of approximately two acres, Newholme Farm consists of the fully renovated farm house, The Shippens containing 3 stables, tack room, previous milking parlour, utility space and a separate enclosed Dutch Barn offering workshop space.

An exceptional and truly rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented detached farmhouse together with characterful barns, substantial grounds and exciting future potential, all set within a peaceful semi-rural location close to Warrington and the surrounding villages.

Approached through private electric gates, the property immediately creates a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying far-reaching views across the cheshire plains towards Jodrell Bank in the far distance. This unique holding combines the charm and character of a traditional farmhouse with the versatility and potential of additional buildings and land.

At the heart of the property is Newholme Farm House, a charming detached farmhouse which has been fully and thoughtfully renovated and modernised throughout while retaining the character and presence expected of a country home. Centrally heated by a new LPG boiler, a feature woodburning stove and double glazed throughout, the double and triple aspect light-filled rooms offer a magnificent welcome, the ground floor accommodation provides generous living room, dining room, large kitchen with brand new appliances, conservatory and a utility room with a separate WC that are practical and comfortable, making it ideally suited to modern family living while also offering a peaceful rural retreat.

Upstairs, the double aspect landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with double aspects and the principal bedroom benefiting from its own en-suite. A family bathroom with bath and shower serves the other bedrooms.

Beautifully presented and ready to move into, the farmhouse offers scope for a new owner to add their own personal touches and further develop the property to suit their needs.

Outside, the setting is just as impressive. A large private yard and surrounding grounds provide excellent space for entertaining, gardening, hobbies or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the location. The detached double garage with electric doors provides valuable additional space, while the gated entrance adds to the property's sense of exclusivity.

Adding considerably to the appeal of the property are The Shippens and The Dutch Barn, which sit alongside the farmhouse and form an integral part of this exciting opportunity. Full of character and reflecting the property's agricultural heritage, The Shippens currently has a planning application No                    pending to convert into single storey extended four bedroom dwelling with detached garage which provide the opportunity to create a separate bespoke countryside home, an investment property or an individual conversion project, subject to the relevant permissions and planning conditions.

The Dutch barn provides a striking and versatile structure with equally exciting possibilities.

This makes the property particularly attractive to those looking for more than simply a family home, whether that be an investor, developer, multi-generational family or purchaser seeking the opportunity to create an additional residence alongside the existing farmhouse.

The combination of the existing farmhouse, approximately one acre of land, private grounds, substantial outbuildings and approved planning creates a level of flexibility rarely found in the local market. The property could be enjoyed immediately as a wonderful rural family home while simultaneously offering significant potential for the future.

With its secluded countryside setting, the property is conveniently positioned for Warrington, Northwich, nearby villages, Liverpool and Manchester airports, major cities, and key transport links to the M56, providing the ideal balance of rural living and accessibility.

Newholme Farm, The Shippens & The Dutch Barn is offered with vacant possession and represents a genuinely unique opportunity — a beautifully presented farmhouse, private grounds, characterful barns, land and planning potential all offered together as one exceptional property. Whether you are looking for a stunning countryside home, a property with multi-generational potential or an exciting investment and development opportunity, this is a rare offering that deserves to be viewed.
