Stoney Springs House presents a unique chance to own a significant historic property with rich character and substantial additional potential. Nestled in an elevated position overlooking the scenic Rochdale Canal and River Calder, this pre-Georgian stone residence, built around 1706, offers over 2,500 sq ft of living space alongside expansive grounds of approximately 0.8 acres. Originally constructed as four weavers' cottages, the property was thoughtfully integrated in the late 20th century, preserving its period features such as exposed beams, mullioned windows, and intricate stone fireplaces. A highlight is the impressive double-height vaulted lounge complete with a full-height stone chimney breast.
The landscaped gardens not only provide stunning views across the Calder Valley but also house a detached two-storey stone cottage with an attached barn that already has listed building consent for conversion into separate living accommodations. This aspect opens avenues for creating an annexe for extended family living or even a holiday let (subject to updated permissions). Additional features include a detached double garage with garden storage below, gated off-road parking, and tiered gardens that lead down to the canal—potentially allowing for private mooring opportunities.
While Stoney Springs House offers tranquility and privacy, it remains conveniently located for commuters seeking access to nearby towns and cities.
