A handsome Grade II listed stone cottage dating from the 18th century, set in a large plot on the fringe of Saddleworth. The house offers generous living space (approx. 2,228 sq ft) with exposed beams, two wood burners, a country kitchen with Aga, three double bedrooms and a useful office — all arranged across a traditional multi‑storey layout. The position in a quiet rural hamlet gives countryside views and easy access to local schools and Mossley train station.
The plot includes a sizeable garden, stone-paved patio, greenhouse, pond, an attached garage with mezzanine and two driveways. There is clear potential to extend or convert parts of the house or garage, subject to the necessary Listed Building consents. Practical features include double-glazed mullion windows, LPG central heating and partial loft boarding for storage.
Important considerations are factual: the property is Grade II listed, so alterations will face restrictions and possible additional costs. Drainage is via a septic tank; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. Council Tax is band F (expensive) and the EPC is exempt due to listed status. Buyers should expect ongoing maintenance for an older stone house and to secure specialist consent for any refurbishment or extension work.
