A superbly located and beautifully private farm set in the heart of the sought-after Ribble Valley. Occupying approximately 95.95 acres (38.83 hectares) of ring-fenced land, the farm benefits from unrivalled panoramic views across the Ribble Valley, spanning from Pendle Hill in the south, to the Bowland Fells in the north.

At its centre sits a stunning Grade II Listed five-bedroom historic farmhouse, set within spacious garden grounds. A substantial Grade II Listed character stone barn stands proudly within the main yard, complemented by a further range of traditional and modern agricultural livestock buildings that offer scope for adaptation or alternative uses.

The land comprises productive meadow and pasture, along with a small area of amenity woodland, all accessed via a private driveway.

This is a truly exceptional rural property, appealing to a wide range of purchasers — from active farmers to equestrian users, lifestyle buyers, or those simply seeking space, privacy, and breath-taking views.

Situation:

Rugglesmere Farm is ideally situated just outside the charming village of Bashall Eaves, nestled within the Forest of Bowland National Landscape.

Despite its peaceful, rural setting, the property lies only four miles from Clitheroe market town, offering excellent connections to the A59 and M6, making it easily commutable to Preston, Blackburn, Bolton, and Manchester.

Farmhouse:

This late 17th Century detached five-bedroom farmhouse is Grade II Listed and rich in character. The property sits to the westerly edge of the farmyard, being constructed of rendered stone with period features throughout, including chamfered stone mullion windows, ornate stone inglenook fireplaces, decorative roof finials and exposed internal timber and stonework.

The farmhouse has been well maintained, retaining its abundance of character features and offering huge scope for further alteration to suit tastes and specifications.

Internally the front door leads into an entrance hallway with the ground floor providing for a spacious kitchen-diner with windows overlooking the front and side garden areas, utility room, central hallway, downstairs WC and 2 reception rooms. Both reception rooms include characterful stone inglenook fireplaces, with the main lounge believed to incorporate a former historical Priest Hole dating back to the origins of the house. The central hallway includes the Grade II Listed two flight historic staircase with significant timber moulded square newel posts and decorative finials.

To the first floor is a large open landing which leads to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom five includes an en-suite and a secondary staircase, providing potential for annex accommodation.

Externally, the house is surrounded by extensive private lawned gardens and flagged patio areas that enjoy unrestricted views.

Farm Buildings:

An excellent range of traditional and more modern agricultural buildings arranged around the main yard to the east of the farmhouse, being currently set up for livestock housing, storage, and workshop space:
