In the heart of Egerton, rural, yet not remote, discover the vast potential that awaits at Mather Fold Farm, an utterly unique family home just brimming with possibilities.
Opposite the War Memorial and tucked back from the road, arrive at Mather Fold Farm along a sweeping, private driveway, where a cobbled courtyard offers ample parking.
An original stone building, with a large garden, Mather Fold Farm was converted by the current owner’s grandfather in the 1960s. Spacious and bright and with fantastic views, this three bedroom home comes with a large hay barn and five good-size stables, making it an ideal home for those looking to keep animals, run a business from home or those looking to grow their own.
Set within a cobbled courtyard driveway, sense the character of Mather Fold Farm before you even set foot through the door.
Making your way indoors, the entrance lobby leads to the light-filled kitchen diner on the left, with wooden cabinetry, double oven, hob and space for a dishwasher and washing machine. Opening up from the kitchen is the dining area, where you can savour both the leafy views and your breakfast at the same time.
Sneak a peek at the pantry storage available beneath the stairs before continuing into the large, light-filled living room, with exposed beam and fireplace. Views extend over the front and side.
Across the kitchen to the other side awaits the formal sitting room. Spacious and bright, windows extend to the front and side, with a wall-mounted real flame effect fire. A real family room with a cosy feel, there is space for all in here.
Make your way upstairs, to arrive at the first floor landing, where the main bedroom lies on the right. A spacious and bright bedroom, with fantastic views out over the rural surroundings, this room currently contains fitted wardrobes and has so much potential for personalisation.
Returning to the landing, step down to discover two additional, spacious double bedrooms, one with fitted storage and offering elevated views over the verdant countryside.
Original beams feature throughout the home, adding character and warmth.
At the end of the landing there is a good-size bathroom, furnished with corner bath, vanity unit wash basin and WC.
Step outside
Outside, the large garden is laid to lawn, with mature planted borders adding a splash of colour in springtime. Low maintenance and safe for children and pets, the garden, like the home it surrounds, is ripe for development and personalisation.
Five stables and a large hayloft offer an abundance of potential – for equestrian use, or perhaps as a footprint on which to extend the home out, creating additional rooms and allowing the flexibility to create modern, open plan living.
On Your Doorstep
So convenient and accessible, yet utterly rural. Step out of the front door and discover a myriad of local countryside walks. The options for walks are abundant with Delph reservoir, and Jumbles Reservoir providing captivating and refreshing walks close at hand, with Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs amidst serene and natural surroundings just a drive away.
Golfers are well placed, with both the renowned Dunscar and Turton Golf Clubs close at hand, only moments' drive away.
Dine out at one of the many restaurants and vibrant bistro cafes within the village. You will find exceptional dining options just a 5-10-minute stroll away from the residence. These include Ciao Baby Italian, the delightful Baker’s; a coffeeshop, restaurant and bar, the inviting Cibo Italian eatery and the Globe. Each of these establishments is renowned for their exceptional food making them an irresistible choice for a memorable dining experience.
The Thomas Egerton is not just your average local pub; it is a warm and welcoming establishment that also happens to serve food.
Commuters are perfectly poised, close to Bromley Cross Rail Station, with shops and off-licences also only five minutes’ drive from the front door.
Families can choose from a number of excellent nearby schools including Walmsley C of E Primary School and Egerton CP School, both accessible on foot.
A home with character, space and potential, nestled in the heart of Egerton’s leafy embrace, Mather Fold Farm is a rare gem, offering the opportunity for you to create your perfect, family home in the countryside.
