This substantial detached family home on Moor Hill offers almost 3,000 sqft of flexible living across two levels, sitting on a large plot with far-reaching countryside views. The layout suits growing families who need multiple reception spaces, a home office and generous bedroom accommodation — the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and dressing area for added privacy.
Internally the property presents a mix of modern and dated finishes. The kitchen and utility are contemporary and ready for daily use, while the main living room retains 1980s styling with panelling and a ceiling rose that will suit some tastes but may require updating for others. The home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing throughout and excellent built-in storage.
Externally there is a double driveway and double garage, plus extensive lawned gardens and a sun terrace that capture long-range views — a real asset for outdoor living and entertaining. The location on the doorstep of Norden village places cafes, pubs and local amenities within easy reach, with good road and bus links to Rochdale, Bury and the motorway network.
Buyers should note running costs: the property sits in a quite expensive council tax band. School provision nearby is mixed (some highly rated primaries and at least one secondary rated inadequate), so families should check individual school suitability. Overall this is a roomy, versatile freehold family home with strong outdoor space and scope to modernise to personal taste.
