Parr Fold Farm – A Truly Remarkable Georgian Treasure

Few homes embody history and modern comfort as beautifully as Parr Fold Farm.

Once part of the working farmstead for the neighbouring estate, this Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the late 1700s, stands proudly on tree-lined Broadway—one of the area’s most coveted addresses.

Proudly showcasing its heritage yet thoughtfully upgraded, this landmark detached residence offers five bedrooms, exceptional living space, and a 0.3-acre southerly plot, all within easy reach of Worsley, Manchester and beyond.

A Home Steeped in Character

Set back from the road behind automated gates and a sweeping terrace, Parr Fold Farm’s Georgian proportions instantly impress. Inside, a sense of calm and craftsmanship flows throughout, enhanced with bespoke carpentry, meticulously crafted by a local tradesman.

The living spaces offer a modern family the best of both worlds – rooms to comes together, and rooms to retreat.

The formal lounge is warm yet refined, with a striking fireplace, 9KW multi-fuel stove, wool carpets, and curtains—perfect for cosy winter evenings.

Across the hall a second sitting room provides a serene escape; with custom shelving, clever design, and plush carpet, it is ideal for reading and quiet reflection or as a peaceful spot to work from home.

At the heart of the home, the shaker-style kitchen combines timeless design with modern practicality: Belfast sink, Fired Earth tiling, premium appliances (Smeg, Bosch, Samsung), and a reimagined brick bread oven now housing an AEG double oven.

The adjoining garden lounge is bathed in natural light and feels almost Mediterranean, with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, anchor plates, bespoke glazing, and French doors opening directly onto the lush, green lawn.

Practicality is never far away, thanks to a spacious utility room with Italian stone surfaces, pantry cupboard, and downstairs WC.

Steps lead down to a basement chamber—ripe for conversion should you wish.

Five Bedrooms of Comfort

The first floor is home to five well-proportioned bedrooms, arranged around a generous central landing.

The principal bedroom enjoys its own stylish en-suite, while the family bathroom is a showpiece in its own right: marble tiling, freestanding bath, walk-in ‘Hansgrohe’ shower, vanity sink unit with RAK ceramic basin, underfloor heating, and unusual stained-glass feature. Both spaces are dream bathrooms, designed and installed to perfection by esteemed local firm Alfred Fraser.

Currently, bedroom five serves as a deluxe dressing room, tailor made by Hafferty Luxury Interiors. With precisely planned shelving, drawers and hanging space, its thoughtful design allows easy reinstatement as a bedroom.

A further opportunity awaits in the undeveloped loft space, offering scope to extend and adapt in future.

The Outdoors – A Private Sanctuary

A treat for the senses – and a dream for children - the fully enclosed gardens are a stand-out feature. The expansive lawn is perfect for play and recreation, while mature shrubs, plants and trees provide colour, texture and interest all year-round. Furthermore, established hedging and evergreens provide a high degree of privacy.

Thanks to the depth of the plot and it’s east/west aspect, the lawns enjoy sunshine all day long.

A wide decked patio and terrace off the kitchen make summer entertaining effortless, while the Sanctum garden studio provides a versatile space for home working, fitness, music, or creativity.

Two original stable outbuildings provide useful storage and incorporate a discreet bin store. A monitored alarm, full CCTV system and feature driveway lighting complete the sense of security and sophistication.

Modernised with Care

The property has benefitted from an extensive programme of upgrades, including:

- Full re-wire and new boiler with white, period-style column radiators
- Underfloor heating in both bathrooms
- New front roof and lime mortar re-pointed façade
- Automated entrance gates
- Superfast FTTP Broadband throughout including the garden studio

Every improvement has been carried out sympathetically, and with respect for the home’s history.
