SituationBank Top Farm lies at the head of a single track lane near the top of

Holcombe Hill and just to the west of the local landmark of Peel

Tower, erected in memory of locally born Sir Robert Peel. The

property has mesmerising views over the surrounding countryside

beyond Alderley Edge and Jodrell Bank to the south with Manchester

clearly visible and out towards the Welsh Hills to the West. The award

winning Shoulder of Mutton gastro pub lies at the end of the lane in

the sought after village of Holcombe and nearby Ramsbottom has a

superb range of specialist shops, restaurants and bistros as well as

supermarkets and many leisure facilities. There is a bridleway on the

doorstep, a riding school and livery in the village and golf courses at

Ramsbottom, Rossendale and Bury. There are local Tennis, Football

and Cricket Clubs. A number of good local primary schools are close

by and Bury Grammar School, Bolton School and Woodhey High

School in Ramsbottom are all popular senior schools.

DescriptionThis impressive stone built farmhouse stands high above Holcombe

and has stunning 180 degree views over Manchester and the Cheshire

Plain. Extended and rebuilt in recent years with mullion windows, top

quality bathrooms and a Mark Wilkinson oak kitchen with an AGA and

granite surfaces. The property lies at the end of an unmade lane

behind automatic gates and stands within about 7 acres of garden,

woodland and grazing land. There are oak floors and doors, wood

burning stoves and really generously proportioned rooms throughout.

The five double bedrooms are accessed by two staircases and a second

floor sixth bedroom/playroom. It is the views which really set this

property apart and can be enjoyed from all the principal rooms. Even

describing them as spectacular is an under-statement. Manchester,

Jodrell Bank, Bosley Cloud and Mow Cop can be seen on a clear day to

the South and the Welsh Hills and Frodsham lie to the West. The valley

below is verdant and there are views along the Pennines to the North.

AccommodationThe front door opens to an entrance porch with a hall beyond and a

cloakroom with a W.C. A store room lies off the rear of the hall and

there are cloaks cupboards and an under stairs store. Double doors off

to the left open to a full depth 33’ lounge with a wood burning stove.

A door off this room leads through to the sizeable study/home office,

equally suited to a playroom, with an outside door to the front and

a cloakroom with W.C. off to the rear, also plumbed for a shower.

To the right of the hall is the beautifully appointed bespoke dining

kitchen by Mark Wilkinson. An AGA is fitted and there is plenty of

space for a breakfast table. To the rear are a similarly appointed

utility room and a walk in pantry. The family room lies off the

kitchen and doubles up for formal dining. With super views and

oak flooring this super room has a substantial stone fireplace recess

with a wood burning stove. To the rear of this room is a further

room used as a gym and this has an outside porch to the side and

staircase leading up to a landing off which are the fourth and fifth

bedrooms and a large adjoining bathroom with modern suite and

large shower. The main landing, approached from the central

hallway, gives access to the three further first floor bedrooms,

bedroom four and a large family bathroom. The master bedroom

has a well appointed en-suite bathroom and a dual aspect.

The double garage is detached, above normal double size and has a

pair of automatic doors. Our clients advise us there is scope to

create a storage room below. The gardens lie to the south west and

there is a substantial stone flagged parking /turning area. The

gardens lie beyond this terrace area and there is a piece of

woodland and grazing land to the rear.

Please note: the property to the North has planning permission

(Bury Council Planning Number 57738) for a separate dwelling

and our clients are prepared to either retain or sell this property in

addition to a further 5.6 acres. The property will retain a right of

access along the lane and a passing place is proposed in the field to

the east of the lane.

Directions: From the Shoulder of Mutton on Lumb Carr Road

head south and almost immediately turn right onto Cross Lane.

After a few hundred yards fork right onto Moorbottom Road and

continue to the end where Bank Top Farm will be found on the left

hand side behind automated wrought iron gates. This lane is

passable with care in a normal vehicle.
