Property description & features

Lowndes Fold Farm is nestled upon a glorious garden plot of just over half an acre and is located within the picturesque village of Rainow, which lies in the foothills of the Peak District National Park. The farmhouse, believed to date back to the late 18th Century, has huge character and charm with features such as exposed beams and latch doors found throughout. In more recent times the accommodation (at ground floor level) has been increased rather dramatically by the conversion of one of the adjoining barns. Two further large stone barns remain undeveloped and are currently utilized as a vast garage and workshop. Subject to planning permission, there is huge potential for further conversion or even the creation of a sizable, self contained annex etc. In brief the current accommodation comprises of; entrance porch, ground floor wc, lounge, sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen, large ground floor bedroom and modern bathroom. To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. A basement level provides both a utility and pantry. In addition to the large barns, there is a detached garage, a potting shed and a gardener's loo. The magnificent gardens surrounding the property are made up of large rolling lawns and stone patio areas with beautiful stone walling making up much of the boundaries. The location of Lowndes Fold is further enhanced by its very close proximity to Rainow Primary School, which was awarded with an 'Outstanding' rating after the most recent Ofsted inspection. All in all, this is a truly 'outstanding' property and we urge a prompt viewing to avoid disappointment.
