Description

This intriguing property, built in 1923, offers a unique opportunity for investment and rejuvenation. Spanning 2,220 sqft on a tranquil lane just outside Marple Bridge, the home is surrounded by approximately 4.5 acres of diverse land, including woodland and grazing areas, which provide excellent potential for outdoor activities. The residence currently features a flexible layout that can accommodate up to five bedrooms, alongside spacious reception rooms that are ideal for family living or entertaining. Recent remodeling has enhanced many aspects of the home; however, further renovations could unlock even more value. Notably, the large double-storey garage comes with plans for potential conversion into a separate dwelling (subject to planning permission), which could serve as an income-generating asset. Additionally, there are three stables and an extra garage used for hay storage, offering opportunities for equestrian pursuits or additional storage solutions. The interiors are characterized by high ceilings and generous proportions that create a sense of warmth and space. Each room boasts exceptional views of the surrounding landscape which could be accentuated through further enhancements. Outside, the expansive gardens provide ample scope for landscaping or creating recreational spaces while maintaining privacy and connection to nature. This property represents not just a home but a canvas for future enhancement and investment.
