Foxstones Lane, Cliviger, Burnley

If it’s glorious isolation and panoramic views of rugged upland pastures that you’re looking for, Middle Pasture Farm is your perfect destination.

The current owners have created a beautiful summer house that will eventually be the annexe to a fabulous, spacious farmhouse, linked by a contemporary glass atrium - as outlined by the Planning Consent (Application Number APP/2010/0434).

Steeped in history, this is a rare opportunity to create a home and a retreat to the country that is both wild and beautiful – and all yours!

The homestead lies centrally to over 60 acres of upland grassland and woodland copses, home to an abundance of wildlife including curlew, lapwing, deer, badgers and foxes. With the help of stewardship grants, you have the potential to create an environmental haven on land that highly unlikely to ever be developed upon.

The footprint of the existing farmhouse (which currently stands as four walls without a roof) has full planning consent to rebuild and convert into a two-storey five-bedroom home connected to the summer house annexe. The property is set in an enviable position with open stunning views to Cant Clough reservoir, Hurstwood reservoir and out to Gorple Road and the Packhorse Trail.

Such wonderful opportunities in such amazing locations are dwindling fast – “they aren’t making any more land”. Might this be the time to take the plunge?

Approached from Foxstones Lane via a shared track shared with the neighbouring Farmhouses,the property is well placed for the A680 Manchester Road and link to the A56 for both the M66 & M65 motorways. The major business centres of Rawtenstall, Bury and Manchester are to the South with Burnley, Blackburn and Preston to the North.
