Ellel Grange Estate, a delightful country estate with a diverse rural property portfolio and significant sporting and natural capital potential near the historic city of Lancaster, has come to market for offers of £2,890,000.
The property comprises a five-bedroom primary house created from the former stables, a four-bedroom farmhouse, a substantial range of traditional outbuildings, walled garden and productive grassland and amenity woodland, extending in total to about 140.11 acres (56.70 ha).
Set in the foothills of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape Area and within striking distance of the Lancashire coastline, it includes a superb range of architecturally impressive, Grade II Listed, stone-built outbuildings with significant residential development potential, subject to consents. It is available for sale freehold as a whole or in six lots.
The area is renowned for its beauty and rich, fertile farmland and John Coleman, Head of Farm agency at GSC Grays said: “This is a really interesting package of productive farmland, houses and development opportunity in a very picturesque and accessible location surrounding Ellel Grange House. It is bounded on two sides by the canal network, has attractive blocks of amenity woodland and areas offering a huge amount of bio-diversity.
“We anticipate strong interest from local farmers as the land is well known for producing excellent cut grass and the old farm buildings are ideal for development into what would be very attractive rural houses. We hope very much that the local planning authority and Listed Buildings officer will support a sympathetic development of this site as the houses would be in high demand.”
The Stables is a Grade II Listed, two storey, five-bedroom house, with a cobbled entrance courtyard flanked by two stone-built square gate lodges used for external storage, a large adjoining garage and a delightful walled garden to the rear.
Adjoining the Stables is a former Chauffeur’s Cottage which is attached to the garage and completes the courtyard surrounds. It offers significant scope to either extend the main house or provide annex accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The estate is located in a particularly attractive and accessible area of Lancashire, about 1 mile west of the M6 J33, 2 miles south of the village of Galgate and 4 miles south of the historic city of Lancaster.
Galgate is a charming village offering essential amenities including a local shop, GP surgery, pharmacy, primary school, village hall and several public houses. Residents also enjoy a network of scenic walks along the picturesque Lancaster Canal. The area is well connected, with excellent road links via the nearby Hampson Green Interchange on the M6. Lancaster Train Station, on the West Coast Main Line, provides regular services to Edinburgh, Manchester and London, while Manchester International Airport offers frequent domestic and international flights.
