Property Description

Speakman Barn is an incredible detached barn conversion that was created around 25 years ago. Located with the grounds of Speakman House, Speakman Barn was designed to create a large guest house and family accommodation.

Unfortunately the guest house never operated however many of the areas created are perfectly suited now to create an incredible family home or even a development opportunity to convert the barn into multiple units. The barn stands currently at over 4500 Square feet with an incredible footprint and views and setting to match! With a large frontage onto Warrington Road a feasibility study was carried out to add a pair of semi detached homes in the front garden of the property many years ago which faced onto Warrington Road and this could be a further opportunity (subject to the relevant permissions being sought).

The sheer scale of the building is incredibly impressive and the barn was designed to complement Speakman House and considering the difference in age the similarities are incredible.

Upon entering the property there is a handy porch before you enter the hallway and the foyer area is a generous size with an attendant WC. Just off the hallway is the kitchen: this is a commercial kitchen that was installed to cater to the guest house but could easily be transformed to a more conventional residential kitchen/dining space with views over the gardens front as well as leading to the heated Conservatory with additional wood log burning fire, with itself views on to the garden and access to an external patio area.

On the opposite side of the foyer is a large lounge and dining room which has a feature fireplace and windows on both sides. The ground floor also houses a further sun room which also shares the views over the rear garden. The ground floor is completed with a large carport and double garage.

On the first floor, there are five generous bedrooms including four with ensuite facilities, as well as a separate linen/tank room. These were created originally for the guest house however they are all generous in size and the ensuites can only be a positive factor in todays age. Unique features found on the first floor also include the snooker room, large enough to comfortably hold a full-size snooker table, and the large enclosed balcony area with a built-in gas-fired barbecue which occupies the far corner of the building. The balcony barbecue area is an incredible room for entertaining and has views over Bents Garden Centre lake.

This could create another fantastic set of master suites or perhaps another entertaining space to maximise the views. To the rear of the property is a generous rear garden with large raised patio, and a lawned area with established borders and trees.

Whether you're looking to operate a successful guest house business, a possible development opportunity or simply want a spacious family retreat, this property offers endless possibilities. With its size, style, and stunning setting, it's sure to exceed your expectations.
