A £1,200,000 home has come on the market in Greater Manchester which is unrecognisable from its former self. The characterful property in the historic Dunham Massey village was once a working barn on Black Moss Farm, which was built in 1917 as one of the original farmhouses on the Dunham Massey estate.
In recent years the barn has been converted into a beautiful four-bed family home as part of a redevelopment scheme where both the original main farmhouse and the barn became two separate properties.
The home's semi-rural location means it benefits from countryside views and closeness to the National Trust's Dunham Massey site as well as being within access to Altrincham Town Centre, Hale and Bowdon.
