A stunning house, set to a backdrop of scenic countryside, has gone on the market, and it's the perfect property for anyone seeking a quieter life. The farmhouse is tucked away on the outskirts of Greater Manchester in the village of Weir, to the north of Bacup in Rossendale, Lancashire, and is surrounded by rolling hills and fields for miles.
The semi-detached house boasts four bedrooms, four reception rooms, two bathrooms and comes with around 10 acres of land, complete with a livery yard and a share of a stable block.
Its current owners have put the property on the market with Fine & Country for £550,000, much more than the average price of homes in Weir - £165,146 over the last year.

The traditional stone built farmhouse is situated off the beaten track with open countryside on its doorstep.
The four-bed house is accessed via a shared private lane, but, despite its rural location, there is easy access and transport links to nearby amenities in Weir, Bacup, Burnley, Rossendale and beyond.
Estate agents call it "a perfect property for those seeking a family home bordering rural surroundings, yet which is still close to main roads and has amenities for daily living within reach."
On the ground floor of the home there is an entrance porch with the first door leading into the traditional-style lounge, and another leading into the hallway.
From the hallway there is direct access into the dining room, which then leads into the breakfast kitchen, which has a pantry and newly installed bathroom to the side.
Up on the first floor there is a large landing with four double bedrooms, two slightly smaller in size.
There is also a family bathroom on this floor which is positioned at the end of the landing.
Outside there is the livery yard, a majority share of the separate stable, gated parking for several vehicles at the front and a rear garden, totalling approximately ten acres of land in all.
For those with children, Northern Primary School, which is Ofsted-rated 'Good' is just 0.4 miles distance from the house and Ofsted 'Outstanding' rated school Bacup Thorn Primary School is 0.9 miles away.
The property - and its land - is considered most ideal for potential equestrian or smallholding use and is sold with no chain.
The nearest train station, Todmorden, is 3.9 miles away with Walsden station 4 miles away and Burnley Manchester Road station 4.9 miles from the house.
