A historic Grade II listed farmhouse in Prenton is on the market with a guide price of £1,250,000. The seven-bedroom home in Bidston Village dates back to the 13th century and sits within two acres of land featuring barns and stables.
Medieval origins and BBC appearance
The property is a medieval-origin farmhouse on Church Farm, in Bidston. Church Farm appeared on an episode of The House Detectives in 1997. A report in The Independent at the time explained how former owners Jane and Roger O'Brien refurbished the home after buying it when it was completely derelict.
The building remains a luxury property, which is why it commands a seven-figure fee in 2026. The historic building is in keeping with the heritage of Bidston, a village that appeared in the Domesday Book, written in 1086.
Period charm with modern features
The home on Church Farm acknowledges its history with a number of period nods, while also incorporating modern features. The listing, featured on Zoopla, says: "Retaining an abundance of original features throughout, the property effortlessly combines period charm with practical family living."
It adds: "Beyond the main residence, an impressive collection of barns, stables, and farm buildings provide exceptional versatility, offering potential for equestrian use, business ventures, lifestyle farming, or future development opportunities, subject to the necessary consents."
Listing details
The listing continues: "Rarely does a property of such historical significance, scale, and potential come to market, making Church Farm a truly unique opportunity within one of Wirral's most sought-after village settings." The Church Farm property is marketed by Zoopla for £1,250,000.
