We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Wheelton Lodge Farm - Charming Circa 1721 Georgian Farmhouse with Panoramic Views & Endless Potential.
Forbes Estates are delighted to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire Wheelton Lodge Farm, a charming Georgian farmhouse dating back to circa 1721.
Steeped in history and character, this unique home is set on an elevated half-acre plot and enjoys breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the Welsh mountains across to the Fylde Coast, The Nab, Winter Hill, and Darwen Tower.
Nestled on the periphery of the highly desirable villages of Wheelton and Brinscall, this property combines semi-rural tranquillity with easy access to local amenities and transport links.
The farmhouse offers a wealth of original features throughout, creating an inviting and timeless atmosphere.
The welcoming entrance porch leads into the comfortable lounge, where exposed beams, a rustic stone feature wall, wooden flooring, and an inglenook fireplace with a Clearview multi-fuel stove create a warm and homely focal point.
The separate dining room is equally captivating, featuring traditional stone mullion windows, a further inglenook fireplace and wood burner stove, and generous space for entertaining family and friends.
The heart of the home lies in the country-style kitchen, offering excellent scope for personalisation, alongside a large pantry room providing practical storage.
A further family room adds versatility to the layout, while a ground floor shower room/W.C. and rear porch complete the main level.
Ascending the stairs, the first-floor landing benefits from a Velux window that fills the space with natural light.
The accommodation includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a further single bedroom, and a three-piece family bathroom, each enjoying views of the picturesque surrounding countryside.
Adjoining the farmhouse is a substantial barn, hayloft and former milking parlour, presenting an exciting opportunity for conversion (subject to planning permission).
This expansive area could provide significant additional living accommodation, a self-contained annexe, or other creative uses, making the property particularly attractive to buyers with vision.
Externally, Wheelton Lodge Farm continues to impress. A large private driveway provides ample off-street parking, complemented by a side garden and extensive rear garden.
The grounds feature an orchard, mature planting, and defined entertaining areas, all perfectly positioned to take advantage of the enviable, far-reaching views.
Set within approximately half an acre to enjoy the outdoor space, offers both privacy and scope for further landscaping or development.
This is a rare chance to acquire a home of such historic charm and potential in one of Lancashires most desirable semi-rural locations.
Combining original Georgian features, generous proportions, stunning countryside vistas, and significant scope for improvement, Wheelton Lodge Farm is ideal for buyers seeking a character property to transform into their dream home.
