Stoney Springs House is an imposing pre-Georgian stone home set in about 0.8 acres of south / south-west facing tiered gardens, elevated above the Rochdale Canal and Calder Valley. The property retains abundant period character — exposed beams, mullioned windows, carved stone fireplaces and a vaulted lounge — across roughly 2,549 sq ft of adaptable living space that will suit family life, home working and entertaining.
The site includes a detached double garage with garden store, gated cobbled parking and a two-storey stone cottage with attached barn that previously obtained listed building consent for conversion. That outbuilding offers genuine annexe, holiday-let or development potential, but any works would need renewed permissions and must respect the property’s listed status.
Practical points are clear and factual: the house dates from 1706 and has listed status which will affect alterations; drainage is to a private treatment plant; council tax is above average; and the area records above-average crime. For buyers seeking a private country home within commuting reach of Leeds and Manchester, the elevated views, large plot and strong connectivity are major strengths. The property is best suited to purchasers comfortable with period-property maintenance and the listed-building planning process.
This is an attractive proposition for families wanting generous, characterful accommodation with outdoor space and for investors or multi-generation buyers prepared to manage listed-building constraints to unlock the attached cottage/barn’s potential. Viewing will show how the internal layout and terraces make the most of sun and valley views while offering scope to personalise and enhance.
