Description

This property presents a distinctive blend of historical charm and modern potential, offering a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious family home while incorporating their personal touch. Featuring four well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout is conducive to family living, with three generous reception areas that can be utilized for various purposes. One notable aspect is the separate structure referred to as the 'Head Master's House.' This additional space holds great promise for conversion into a guest residence, home office, or extra storage—subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions—enhancing both the property's functionality and potential value. Nestled close to Littleborough village, this property enjoys proximity to an array of local amenities including shops, cafes, and easy access to public transport with the mainline train station nearby. This offers convenient travel links to Manchester and Leeds city centers. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding area features stunning countryside and moorland of the Pennines as well as access to the scenic Rochdale Canal, ideal for leisurely outings. The practical aspects of this property are equally appealing; it includes off-road parking for up to four vehicles alongside a spacious double garage and courtyard gardens. There’s no onward chain involved in the sale, making it an attractive opportunity for buyers interested in modernizing and adding value. Inside, each room has its unique character: The sitting room welcomes you with charming exposed wooden beams and ample natural light from multiple windows. The lounge exudes warmth with its traditional atmosphere accentuated by leaded windows. Meanwhile, the dining room provides an inviting space perfect for gatherings or meals. The kitchen/breakfast room combines functionality with charm featuring a fireplace and practical fittings. Upstairs, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms filled with light—each offering opportunities for personalization. The bathrooms retain classic elements while providing essential fixtures. Externally, mature trees surround tranquil garden spaces that offer privacy along with potential enhancement for outdoor enjoyment. The outbuilding adds further versatility—ideal for storage or as a workshop—and complements the large garage that allows additional functional use. Overall, this property stands out as not just a residence but as an investment opportunity where historical elements can harmonize with contemporary aspirations through thoughtful renovations.
