Semi-rural family residence with large gardens and renovation potential.
Edwardian 4-bedroom detached house with strong period character
This Edwardian four-bedroom detached house sits in a semi-rural Saddleworth setting with long countryside views and a large mature garden. Original period features — stained glass, skirtings, coving and fireplaces — remain throughout, offering strong character and scope to create a distinctive family home. Solar and photovoltaic panels are installed, although the overall energy rating is D.
The accommodation is traditional and well proportioned across about 1,776 sq ft: lounge and dining rooms with bay windows, a morning room, galley kitchen, pantry, utility and two ground-floor WCs, plus four good-sized bedrooms and one family bathroom upstairs. A garage and front parking add practical convenience. Local primary schools rated Good and a range of leisure amenities are close by.
This house needs renovation and updating: cosmetic and systems work will be required to modernise the kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes. The property has cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), and council tax is high (Band G). For a buyer willing to invest, there is clear potential to increase value while retaining original features and enjoying the semi-rural location.
Sold freehold, this property is best suited to a family or purchaser seeking a period home with scope for improvement. The asking price reflects the work required; the home is usable as-is but rewards sensitive refurbishment and energy-efficiency upgrades.
