The Property

Nursery Farm is a substantial country home set behind electric gates on Bold Lane, one of Aughton’s most discreet and sought after addresses. Extending to approximately 7,800 sq ft, the house has been reimagined to create a generous five/six bedroom family home, combining the scale and character of its farm origins with a more contemporary sense of flow, light and finish.

A sweeping gravel drive leads through the grounds to the house, setting the tone for a property that feels private, established and quietly removed from the everyday. Inside, the accommodation is arranged with a natural rhythm between formal and informal spaces, moving from the reception hall into a vast lounge, sunroom, family kitchen, study and the dramatic barn conversion living and dining hall.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the main house, with hand painted cabinetry, a substantial central island, granite worktops and space for relaxed seating. From here, doors open onto the central courtyard, connecting the everyday living space directly with the gardens.

The former barn wing brings a more dramatic quality to the house, with a double height living and dining space, a two sided brick fireplace, a large arched window and a gallery landing above. It gives the home a sense of occasion, while still feeling practical for family life, gatherings and entertaining.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across two upper floors. The principal suite has a calm, private feel, with long views, a dressing area and a generous en-suite bathroom. Further bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or extended family, while a cinema room or den can also be used as a sixth bedroom if required. The top floor offers further adaptable space, suited to teenagers, guests, studio use or a more independent suite.

Externally

Nursery Farm is approached through secure electric gates, with a long gravel driveway curving around the plot and providing an impressive sense of arrival. The house is framed by lawns, mature planting and garaging, with the wider grounds and outbuildings extending beyond.

At the centre of the house is a brick walled courtyard, arranged as an outdoor room, with flagstone paving, raised planting, a water feature and direct access from the kitchen and barn living space. It creates a sheltered place for outdoor dining, morning coffee and evening entertaining.

Beyond the courtyard, the formal gardens unfold in a series of distinct areas, with terraces, lawns, herbaceous borders, shaped shrubs, specimen trees and mature planting. An elevated terrace leads out from the garden room, while a summer house sits within the grounds, adding a quieter retreat within the garden.

The land extends into neatly fenced paddocks, bordered by hedgerows and mature trees. The paddocks offer scope for ponies, hobby farming, wildflower meadows or simply additional private space around the house.

A substantial detached barn and garaging sit to one side of the main house. Currently arranged with garaging and ancillary space, the barn offers strong potential for a gym and spa, guest accommodation, studio, office, car barn or a combination of uses, subject to any necessary consents.
