Dream barn house on the outskirts of Greater Manchester nestled between two stunning reservoirs

If you have ever pictured yourself living out in the countryside, then this property would most likely be your dream home. Set on the outskirts of Greater Manchester, this beautiful barn house has just come on the market with a whopping £1,175,000 price tag.

The bespoke built home has been chosen as our Property of the Week. Each week our MEN property expert picks a different home that is up for sale across our region, whether that be for its eye-catching interior, bargain price or its desirable location.

Found just north of Bolton in the Lancashire village of Entwistle, the four-bed house is nestled between two stunning reservoirs that serve as popular beauty spots all year round. Renowned with walkers, the property sits just a short distance from both the Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs which boast unrivalled views across the water with pretty scenes of woodland.

Set on a three-acre plot, Three Acres Farm is made up of four large reception rooms, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an impressive outdoor space, all surrounded by rolling countryside views.

Built in 2007 by the current owners, and now on the market for the first time, the barn conversion was designed to make the most of its setting with views from each and every window.

With a rural farm-style feel throughout, the home is built with large arched barn-style doors which welcome you into the home.

Walking in you're met with the lounge with oak flooring running throughout and a feature terracotta red chimney breast. There are three large Velux windows which shower the living area with light from above, as well as double doors leading out onto a large terrace.

From the lounge there is a step up to the left with a solid oak kitchen with granite worktops which serves as the hub of the home. French doors open inwards with a glass balcony overlooking the rural views beyond.

On the other side of the lounge is the dining room which provides a formal yet sociable space ideal for entertaining guests. In the summer months you can enjoy al fresco dining out on the large wooden terrace which is accessed through French doors. Also on the ground floor is a home office and a bathroom.

Stairs then lead up to a galleried landing with overlooks the living area and views stretching out towards the countryside. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom on this floor including the master bedroom with its own en-suite.

Downstairs on the lower ground floor is a self-contained annex with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom and en-suite, ideal for older teenagers or with the potential to rent out as an Airbnb.

Outside the garden area is particularly impressive with a hot tub, outdoor seating and children's play area. There is also a large garage and a separate utility room.

Estate agents Newton & Co Ltd say: "A versatile, spacious family home brimming with potential, in a rural, friendly, and accessible setting, Three Acres Farm is ideal for those who love wildlife and the outdoors but who also enjoy the convenience of contemporary comforts and connections to the wider towns and cities.

"From the front door, walks unfurl from the doorstep, out over the slopes of the West Pennine Moors and around the glistening reservoirs of Turton, Entwistle and Wayoh. From woodland walks to waterside strolls, there is plenty of nature close by.

"Jumbles reservoir is also close by, ideal for dogwalkers and families, where you can enjoy adventures before enjoying a treat at Holdens Ice Cream Parlour or quenching your thirst at The Strawbury Duck.

"Families are well served by the nearby Edgworth Primary School, whilst Turton Secondary School is a mere five-minute drive away. Also nearby are the villages of Chapeltown and Bromley Cross."
