Lifestyle Built In

If you’re looking for a farmhouse with equestrian facilities nestled in unspoilt rolling countryside a stone’s throw from charming villages and market towns, Edgworth Moor Farm could be your dream come true. Forming the larger part of a semi-detached former farmhouse in this picturesque setting, this idyllic home comes with five acres of land offering total privacy and tranquillity.

Beautifully upgraded throughout, this substantial rural home includes a four-acre field and stable blocks, making it ideal for those with horses or simply a love of outdoor living.

Inside, the accommodation extends to around 3,100 sq ft, with features such as a large welcoming hallway, handmade doors, well-planned reception spaces, and a high-end kitchen with an AGA. Upstairs, five double bedrooms are served by luxury bathrooms.

Since purchasing the farm, the current owners have thoughtfully modernised and enhanced it, adding automatic gates to the driveway, redesigning the hallway, installing a sleek, contemporary kitchen, and opening up the layout to create better flow. The conservatory has been reroofed for year-round use, and the gardens reimagined to include a pergola-covered entertaining area with hot tub, alongside new fencing, stables, and a field shelter.

Although Edgworth Moor Farm was formerly a detached, stand-alone farmhouse, it has since been divided into two semi-detached homes.

An Unbeatable Setting 

From Broadhead Road, automatic gates reveal a sweeping driveway, shared with the two neighbouring properties, which leads past a bank of daffodils and the field to a large parking area. Wrought-iron railings frame a paved front terrace illuminated by a tradition-style street lamp, respecting the character of the stone-built exterior.

Step through the contemporary grey front door into a useful porch with a practical terracotta tiled floor. This leads into an entrance room, where dual-aspect picture windows soak in the hills rolling to the horizon and format floor tiles flow into a grand entrance hallway crowned by a beautiful modern chandelier. Here, exposed stonework frames an open fireplace and a walkway beside a wooden bannister framing a statement carpeted staircase and gallery landing.

Characterful Living Spaces 

The main lounge fills the right-hand side of the property. Decorated in soft tonal shades to the coved walls and brightened by pendant lights, it features beautiful stonework above the arched doorways, which match an inglenook fireplace with a gas burner and chunky beam above. Meanwhile, a full-width, floor-to-ceiling arched window blurs the boundary between the house and the idyllic rural landscape tumbling away into the distance.

Across the hall, you’ll discover a dual-aspect dining room warmed by a cosy wood-burning stove set within a stone chimney breast intersected by lovely beams. Cross the parquet flooring into the conservatory, which has been roofed and fitted with blinds and a designer vertical radiator to create a comfortable environment throughout the year. Sit here to enjoy stunning views from the panoramic windows or open the double doors to the terrace.

Country Chic 

The breakfast bar in the conservatory faces the bar in the kitchen, with open entrances linking the spaces with the dining room for an easy open-plan flow. Lined with high-gloss, handle-free grey cabinets with white granite effect tops on either side, the beamed kitchen is brightened by a range of stylish lighting and big windows framing the rear garden, so you can keep an eye on the kids playing outside while you cook.

Integrated appliances include a gorgeous red AGA with a galaxy splashback, a Neff double oven, a separate hob, a 1.5-bowl sink with waste disposal and hot water tap, a wine cooler and drinks fridge, and a concealed dishwasher and fridge-freezer.

Beyond the kitchen, a part-tiled, dual-aspect utility room provides extra storage, workspace, room for laundry appliances, a sink, and a clothes pulley airier. You’ll also find access to a loft space, a door to the garden, and a two-piece WC.

Head to Bed 

Upstairs, the impressive gallery landing offers a glimpse of the hills through a high front window. Follow the neutral carpet underfoot into the master bedroom, which is decorated to match the reception rooms downstairs. An excellent size, it features a charming stone chimney breast and wonderful rural views from the dual-aspect windows.

The door to the master has been moved forward to provide easy access to the adjoining double bedroom, which is currently being used as a fabulous dressing room and could be connected with the rear shower room to create an incredible primary suite. Alternatively, the door can be returned to its original position to reinstate a completely separate bedroom if desired.

On the other side of the landing, you’ll discover two double bedrooms overlooking the hills from large front windows with cushioned window seats and blinds. Bedroom three has a neutral carpet, acoustic slat panelling, and a contemporary light fitting, while spot-lit bedroom four benefits from wood-effect flooring and elegant feature wallpaper. To the rear, skylights illuminate a final bedroom with a pitched, beamed ceiling.

In the family bathroom, high-quality stone wall and floor tiled offset an opulent claw-footed roll-top bathtub with traditional-style taps and handheld shower attachment. A double vanity basin unit, a period-style heated towel rail, and a toilet beneath a frosted window with a stone sill complete the set-up.

Also warmed by a period-style towel rail radiator, the shower room is lined with spa-quality tiles, which pair with a stone wall to backdrop a massive wet-room shower and period-appropriate sanitaryware. Stylish lights and curved glass shelves add a contemporary flourish to this ultra-luxurious retreat.

Unwind Outside

Edgworth Moor Farm sits on a generous five acres of land, including a formal lawned garden, and a four-acre, refenced field with a shelter extending to the front. Two stable blocks allow for keeping horses or creating an excellent workshop space.

Double doors from the conservatory open to a wrap-around terrace ending in a huge, partly enclosed pergola with a wooden roof and exterior lighting. This is where you will spend many summer evenings, soaking in the hot tub with a glass of wine or hanging out with friends and family in the seating area while watching the spectacular sunsets and the ducks on the pond.

The terrace also has many other vantage points to enjoy those seasonal views – when it snows, the whole farm is transformed into a winter wonderland. In the warmer months, children will love having the freedom to run wild, build dens, care for animals, or even quad bike. While exploring the grounds, keep an eye out for pheasants, badgers, foxes, deer, ducks, and geese.

Combining the lifestyle of a country estate with the reassurance of a small, select setting, Edgworth Moor Farm offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, style and privacy, all just a short walk from the heart of the village.

Out & About

Edgworth is a small village in the parish of North Turton, with the farm only a 10–15-minute walk to the centre via School Lane. The area is home to a thriving community, including a school, after-school clubs, a park, cricket, football, and bowling clubs, and various classes on offer nearby.

Some local shops include the café and library within The Barlow, Whiteheads Butchers & Deli, Holdens & Co Ice Cream and Village Store, a Post Office, and a pharmacy. There are also some lovely pubs and plenty of shops and supermarkets in Blackburn, Bromley Cross, Ramsbottom, and Bolton within a short drive. The current owners particularly recommend the Toby Inn – a wonderful family-owned restaurant with one of the best restaurant views in Bolton.

On Friday evenings in the summer, the cricket club becomes a haven for families. Parents can watch children play in the playground or practice cricket at the junior clubs while having a drink and savouring a delicious pizza freshly made from the outdoor pizza kitchen.

Edgworth is also renowned as a walkers’ paradise due to its picturesque setting. Two large reservoirs, the Wayoh Reservoir and the Turton and Entwistle Reservoir, are located northeast of the village. Jumbles Reservoir is also nearby, so you’re always close to walking, hiking, fishing, and sailing opportunities.

The Land

Edgworth Moor Farm comes with approximately five acres of land, offering a rare opportunity to embrace a true country lifestyle in a stunning rural setting. Whether you’re hoping to keep horses, grow your own, or simply enjoy the freedom and privacy of the great outdoors, the grounds here are a huge part of the appeal.

The majority of the land lies to the front of the house, including a refenced four-acre field with a shelter, while formal gardens surround the home itself. These include lawned areas, a pergola-covered hot tub and seating zone, and a wrap-around terrace – all perfectly placed to soak up the changing views and peaceful atmosphere.

As part of a former standalone farmhouse now divided into two semi-detached homes, it’s worth noting that some small sections of land are now owned by the two neighbouring properties.

Buyers are advised to review the plans and make their own enquiries to confirm the exact extent of the land included in the sale, and any boundaries, prior to exchange of contracts.

Getting Around

Edgworth lies just a short drive from the M61/M65/M66 motorway network for fast routes across the region. Ten minutes by car, Bromley Cross and Entwistle railway stations run regular services to Blackburn, Rochdale, Clitheroe, and Manchester city centre, which is also teeming with retail and leisure amenities and cultural hotspots.

Schools

Turton with Edgworth Primary School is currently Ofsted-rated ‘Good’, but a recent non-graded inspection confirmed it is operating at an ‘Outstanding’ level. Turton School in Bromley Cross is also rated ‘Good’, with several ‘Outstanding’ options in Bolton, including Eden Boys’ School and independents such as Bolton School and Clevelands Prep.
