Description

This charming period farmhouse, Lilleys Farm, is a rare renovation opportunity set within 1.75 acres of private grounds and offering far-reaching views towards Duncliffe Woods. The property, which has been cherished by the same family for generations, features natural stone elevations, well-proportioned characterful accommodation, and a range of outbuildings with potential for conversion or redevelopment. The main house has a dual-aspect sitting room with a Minster stone open fireplace, three generous double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property is peacefully located in the rural hamlet of Moorside, just east of the vibrant village of Marnhull, and offers excellent access to walking routes, amenities, and transport links. The property is not listed, allowing for greater flexibility for future improvements, and a lapsed planning consent highlights the scope to further enhance the property. The gardens are beautifully private, with an array of mature ornamental and specimen trees, and a natural, covered spring well providing a natural water source.
