This Grade II listed detached house sits in a semi-rural spot on the fringe of Saddleworth, offering far-reaching valley and town views. Dating to 1726 and originally two cottages, the property retains a wealth of original features and has been well cared for by the current owners. Chain free and freehold, it provides spacious family living across multiple floors, including four double bedrooms and a versatile upper-room ideal for home working.
Practical benefits include a double garage plus a private parking space, a well-maintained private garden and easy road access to Oldham, Uppermill and Manchester (about a 30-minute drive). Local schools are within easy reach, and nearby Strinesdale Country Park provides countryside walks from the doorstep. The house layout includes a kitchen/breakfast room, large lounge, dining room, garden room with wine cellar, and a utility plus ground-floor WC.
Important considerations: the listed status means any alterations or extensions will be restricted and could add cost and delay. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming unless upgraded. Council tax is described as expensive and the plot is relatively small compared with the house size. Prospective buyers should expect the usual additional maintenance and specialist repair costs that accompany historic properties.
For families seeking a character-rich, spacious home with excellent commuting options and countryside on the doorstep, this property blends historic charm with practical parking and garden space. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the original features, room proportions and the views that define this house.
