About this home
A truly special three-bedroom detached cottage occupying an incredible private plot in a wonderfully semi-rural setting. Offering approximately 1,241 sq ft of accommodation with three reception rooms, three bathrooms, gated off-street parking and substantial mature gardens, Racefield Cottage feels like a countryside retreat while remaining remarkably convenient for Chadderton, Royton and Oldham. Private, spacious and full of character, this is a home where the setting is every bit as impressive.
Racefield Cottage is a truly special three-bedroom detached home, occupying a remarkable semi-rural position that delivers the privacy, space and countryside atmosphere so many buyers search for, while remaining surprisingly convenient for everyday life.
Set behind gated off-street parking and surrounded by mature gardens, established trees and open greenery, the property immediately feels tucked away from the outside world. It is the type of setting that is increasingly difficult to find – peaceful, private and wonderfully rural in character, yet without the isolation normally associated with country living.
Extending to approximately 1,241 sq ft, the accommodation is substantial and incredibly versatile, with three reception rooms, three bedrooms and three bathrooms providing excellent space for couples and families alike.
The approach sets the tone beautifully. A generous gated driveway provides ample off-street parking, while the cottage itself sits comfortably within an impressive plot. Mature planting and established boundaries create a genuine feeling of seclusion, giving the property an incredibly private and peaceful atmosphere.
Internally, the home retains plenty of warmth and character. The main living room is an excellent size at approximately 15'9" x 13'2", creating a comfortable everyday family space with plenty of natural light. Exposed timber detailing and the fireplace give the room the welcoming cottage atmosphere that suits the setting perfectly.
A separate dining room measures approximately 15'9" x 13'5" and provides another substantial reception space. Whether used for formal dining, entertaining, family gatherings or simply as another everyday living area, the proportions make this an extremely useful and versatile room.
The kitchen is similarly generous at approximately 15'9" x 11'4", offering plenty of worktop and storage space together with convenient access towards the outside. Combined with the multiple reception areas, the ground floor has a fantastic sense of space and flexibility.
Upstairs, the impressive proportions continue. Two of the three bedrooms are particularly generous doubles, measuring approximately 15'9" x 13'6" and 15'9" x 11'4". One benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while the third bedroom provides an ideal child's bedroom, nursery, dressing room or home office depending on the requirements of the next owner.
A separate family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation, with the overall layout providing three bathrooms in total – an unusual and particularly useful feature for a three-bedroom detached home.
The outside space is arguably what makes Racefield Cottage truly memorable. The substantial gardens provide a wonderful combination of lawn, patio and established landscaped areas, with mature trees and planting creating privacy throughout. There are numerous places to sit, entertain, dine outdoors or simply enjoy the surroundings, while the sheer scale of the plot gives the property a sense of freedom that is difficult to replicate in a conventional residential development.
From above, the appeal of the setting becomes even clearer. The cottage occupies a wonderfully green position surrounded by countryside and open land, creating beautiful views and a genuine feeling of escape. For buyers wanting space for children, pets, entertaining, gardening or simply the luxury of having a substantial private outdoor environment, this is an exceptional proposition.
Perhaps the greatest strength of Racefield Cottage is the balance it achieves between rural living and everyday convenience. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away feel, the property is only a short distance from the main road network and remains within easy reach of Chadderton, Royton and Oldham, putting shops, supermarkets, schools, pubs, restaurants and everyday amenities comfortably within reach.
The wider Chadderton area is well served by primary and secondary schools, while excellent road connections provide convenient access towards Oldham, Rochdale and Manchester, as well as the wider motorway network. Public transport connections are also readily accessible, making the location practical for those commuting throughout Greater Manchester.
This is a home that offers something genuinely different. It provides the privacy and atmosphere of a countryside retreat without asking its owners to sacrifice the convenience of shops, schools, transport links and local amenities.
Racefield Cottage is far more than simply a three-bedroom detached house. It is a home with atmosphere, individuality and a setting that immediately distinguishes it from the competition. For buyers searching for privacy without isolation, substantial gardens, generous accommodation and a detached family home with genuine character, this is a rare opportunity in a truly special setting.
