Greens Lane Farm enjoys a quietly rural yet remarkably well-connected setting. Idyllically positioned with open countryside views to both the front and rear, the property lies less than two miles from Town Green railway station, with further stations at Aughton Park, Maghull, and Ormskirk all within easy reach, providing swift services into Liverpool city centre via Merseyrail and connecting networks. Road links are equally strong, with Greens Lane leading directly onto the B5195 and A59, placing Liverpool just 10 miles away by car. From Liverpool Lime Street Station—only a short rail journey from Lydiate—commuter and long-distance routes abound, including hourly direct services to London Euston. In addition, frequent trains between Liverpool and Manchester, with journey times of just 34 to 52 minutes, ensure both major cities are comfortably within commuting distance.
Description - Greens Lane Farm is an impressive four-bedroom farmhouse which has been thoughtfully appointed throughout, blending traditional character from its 17th-century origins — including exposed timber beams — with high-quality modern finishes.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway, providing space for a dining table and direct access via glazed French doors into the kitchen. The bespoke hand-built kitchen is the heart of the home, fitted with granite worktops, a sizable island unit, Rangemaster dual-fuel oven with LPG gas hob, American-style fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, and finished with travertine flooring that extends throughout the ground floor (excluding the living room & office, which is carpeted). From the entrance hall, a generous living room with a feature stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove leads through to an office and onto the light-filled sun room with French doors opening out to the patio and entertaining terrace, finished in limestone flags.
To the rear of the property, a large utility with granite worktops and fitted wall units, along with a separate boot room, provide excellent storage and practical space, complemented by a shower room. The utility is equipped with space for a fridge freezer, washing machine and wine fridge, both included within the letting.
An oak staircase rises to the first floor where the accommodation is well laid out, comprising four bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom with roll-top bath, and a large airing cupboard. The principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing room with fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and en-suite shower room. Additionally, the guest bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe providing ample storage space.
Externally, the property is approached via a cobbled driveway with ample parking and a single garage with power connected. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn and features a versatile timber log cabin, ideal for use as a home office, gym, or games room. Lawns extend to the front and rear, creating a peaceful setting with open countryside views.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and hot water with Hive smart controls, a fitted security alarm, and the option to utilise the existing CCTV system.
