A superb opportunity to acquire a characterful detached farmhouse with extensive kennelling and outbuildings, set within approximately 2.03 acres (subject to confirmation with the deeds).
The property combines a spacious three-bedroom family home with a range of outbuildings and commercial facilities that have supported a long-established dog boarding and daycare business - further information about which can be found at www.brookhousefarmkennels.co.uk.
The kennels business is fully licensed by Sefton Council and holds the highest possible five-star rating (licence number MA032713) which reflects full compliance with licensing standards. The website states the facilities are ''fully licensed … and have received a five star rating, the highest rating that can be awarded to a licensed dog boarding kennels.''
Approached through secure gated access, the property opens to a gravelled courtyard with parking for numerous vehicles, framed by mature trees and lawned gardens. To the rear, the main residence links with a substantial two storey extension and adjoining kennels, providing an ideal arrangement for live-work use or multi-generational living.
Externally, the site includes the principal residence, annexe and storage barn, extensive kennel blocks, office and kitchen facilities, and an enclosed exercise paddock. The setting is private and well screened, backing on to open farmland, making it ideal for continued dog-care operations or alternative uses subject to planning.
The vendors may also consider a sale of the farmhouse and associated property alone, separate from the ongoing business operation. Further details on application.
