Offering a comfortable sense of arrival, the broad, stone-flagged hallway has a front window, exposed ceiling beams with spotlights and recessed down-lights, and oak latch doors open to each of the rooms off. The comfortably spacious, split-level living dining kitchen forms the family hub and the Travertine tiled floor has under-floor heating which continues from the kitchen into the living area where French doors open to the garden, have windows to either side and a further window. A step rises to the stone flagged dining room with vaulted ceiling displaying a King Truss beam, two Velux windows plus a side window.

A niche to the side is fitted with shelves and there is a television point alongside the fireplace.

The focal point of the room is the stone lintel fire surround which has a split-level hearth and houses a log burning stove in the illuminated ingle plus an attached corner seat to one side and a wall-inset spice cupboard and window to the other. The former front door was rarely used and has now been sealed. The utility room with stone flagged floor has a cabinet-set Belfast sink unit beneath a window to the rear and there is under-counter plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and a free-standing fridge freezer.

The landing is lit by recessed down-lights, oak latch doors open to each of the rooms and the linen cupboard with shelves has a radiator.

There is also a shaver point. Dual aspect bedroom two has a window to the front with a fitted seat and a window to the rear.

A path continues beyond a set of wrought iron double gates with lantern over and leads to the side, and main, entrance door, passing a border of herbaceous planting alongside acers and conifers. A crazy-paved stone path leads to the front of the property where a cobbled area lies to the front of the original main entrance door, now rarely used, and which is sheltered by a stone tiled open porch. To the rear, an Indian stone flagged patio with low brick retaining wall, centrally planted with lavender, offers space for relaxing and al fresco dining and overlooks the extensive lawn which is edged with well-stocked herbaceous borders, an array of flowering shrubs and dotted with specimen and fruiting trees such as conjoined Laburnums, prodigious cherry and Mirabelle plum, to name just a few. From the patio, steps rise to an outside facility with high flush WC and wall mounted wash hand basin. Alongside, there is also a timber storage shed for garden tools and equipment. The path continues into a concealed, stone flagged retreat with dry-stone wall-mounted water feature. Continuing on, a gate opens to a former play area with Wendy house and shed and, from here, a gate opens to the vegetable garden with raised beds and a plum tree, a greenhouse, fruit cages and an orchard having a cherry tree and several apple trees.

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Grade II Georgian farmhouse and barn. Milking parlor and silo for conversion and potential for additional units. PRIME LOCATION Stunning views.Clough House Farm - Clough House Farm is a symmetrical late Georgian 'ferme ornee' and without coincidence is almost identical to Turton Old School House further down the hillside in Chapeltown.
