Characterful four-bedroom barn conversion on a large plot with abundant parking..
Converted stone barn with exposed beams and high ceilings
A striking converted barn set on a large plot in semi-rural Broadbottom, this detached family home combines traditional character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, stone floors and large arched windows give generous reception rooms a warm, historic feel while underfloor heating on the ground floor adds contemporary comfort. The kitchen is a substantial, country-style space with granite worktops and solid wood units ideal for family cooking and entertaining.
The house offers flexible living: four reception rooms (one with en-suite) allow for downstairs sleeping, formal dining, a home office and a cosy sitting room with a stone fireplace. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite and walk-in closet, plus a fully tiled family bathroom with bath and separate shower. Large windows and a galleried dining area provide strong natural light and attractive garden views.
Practical points: the property runs on an oil-fired boiler with radiators and benefits from abundant off-street parking. It is chain free and in good condition, but broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the main fuel is oil — factors to consider for working-from-home needs and ongoing running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This home will suit families seeking character, space and rural outlooks without being remote from Greater Manchester. It rewards buyers wanting a distinctive, move-in-ready house, though those prioritising fast broadband or gas central heating should factor in possible upgrades or running costs.
