Farmhouse and Barn, Silver Hill Farm, Rochdale, Starting Bid: £175,000
This lot offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a farmhouse and barn development at Silver Hill Farm, set within attractive surroundings on the outskirts of Rochdale.
The property includes a Grade II listed farmhouse and barn, both of which have the potential to be transformed into two impressive residential homes. With character, scale, and countryside appeal, this is a standout opportunity for buyers looking for a rewarding project with strong future potential.
The approved plans include a spacious five-bedroom detached farmhouse with an attached garage, private garden area, and driveway parking. The scheme has been designed to retain the charm and character of the existing building while creating a substantial family home.
Alongside the farmhouse, the barn is proposed to become a four-bedroom detached home, also with an attached garage, garden area, and parking. Once complete, both properties would offer generous accommodation in a setting that combines rural character with convenient access to nearby amenities.
Silver Hill Farm enjoys a country-feel location while remaining within reach of Rochdale, local shops, schools, services, and transport links. This balance of setting and accessibility is likely to appeal to future homeowners seeking space, character, and a quieter residential environment without being too far from everyday conveniences.
For developers, builders, or investors, the property presents a rare chance to create two distinctive homes with plenty of appeal. The completed farmhouse and barn are understood to have a combined potential GDV in the region of £1.45m, subject to final specification, market conditions, and purchaser due diligence.
Planning and listed building consent is understood to be in place for the conversion, with further details available through Rochdale Borough Council under application reference 22/00999/LBC. Buyers should review the planning documents, legal pack, and any associated sale documents in full before bidding.
Prospective buyers should also note that the property is being offered by way of an SPV sale and that there are time-sensitive obligations affecting the site, including a requirement for the farmhouse and barn to be made wind and watertight by December 2026.
With its character buildings, attractive setting, approved plans, and strong end-value potential, Silver Hill Farm is a compelling auction opportunity for those looking to bring a distinctive residential development to life.
