About this home
A stunning 1842 Victorian home set in a breathtaking rural location, offering panoramic countryside views, extensive gardens and spacious, versatile accommodation. EPC F
Ryder & Dutton are honoured to present this truly impressive Victorian home, dating back to 1842, set within a breathtaking rural position and enjoying far-reaching views across the Derbyshire Hills, Cheshire Plain and towards Oldham.
Surrounded by open farmland, this substantial house and garden offers the perfect balance of countryside living and convenience, being just minutes from Bury & Rochdale Old Road, providing excellent access to Bury, Heywood, Rochdale and the M60.
The accommodation begins with a grand entrance hallway, setting the tone for the space and character found throughout. There is a large cloakroom which offers excellent storage but could easily be utilised as a home office. There is also a cellar beneath the cloakroom. The main lounge is a welcoming yet elegant space, featuring neutral décor and a multi-fuel burner. The kitchen is well-appointed with integrated appliances, opening into a dining area where the stunning countryside views can truly be appreciated.
The property has been thoughtfully extended to provide two additional versatile reception rooms, ideal for use as a games room, playroom, snug or even an additional bedroom if required. A downstairs shower room and a practical utility room with a Belfast sink complete the ground floor.
To the first floor, there are three generously sized double bedrooms, one of which is accessed via the office space, alongside a modern four-piece family bathroom featuring a double shower and contemporary panelling.
Externally, the property continues to impress. A large driveway to the front provides ample off-road parking. The expansive gardens extend up towards Birtle Road and are beautifully maintained, featuring a large lawn, mature trees, hedging, seasonal planting including daffodils and rhubarb, and a variety of shrubs. There is also a charming summerhouse with a power supply.
The property has benefitted from a number of key upgrades, including new front windows installed in 2017 and a septic tank (shared with the neighbouring property) updated in 2019 to comply with current regulations. Additional features include a smart meter, an oil-fired Rayburn providing central heating, and a multi-fuel stove installed approximately five years ago which also powers the back boiler.
This exceptional home is perfectly suited to those seeking a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature, with beautiful countryside walks right on the doorstep. Well-regarded local amenities including The Pack Horse and The Pavilion restaurant are also within easy reach.
