Description
Enjoying an elevated position with panoramic countryside views, this detached farmhouse is set within approximately 7 acres and offers a rare blend of character, space and rural setting. EPC: C.
Occupying an elevated position with far-reaching views, this detached farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of both character and versatility.
Formerly a working dairy farm, the property now combines the original house, barn and stables to create a spacious and adaptable home.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and begins with an impressive entrance hall, featuring quarry tiled flooring and a full-height vaulted ceiling rising to a galleried landing above.
The ground floor provides a flexible layout suited to a range of uses. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of units, Quartz worktops and a range cooker, creating a practical and sociable space. The lounge is a generous, light-filled room with multi-aspect windows and a feature multi-fuel stove. In addition, there is a versatile sitting room which could also serve as a ground floor bedroom, with a further office/reception room just off. A utility room and guest WC are accessed from the entrance hall.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, along with a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms.
The second floor provides a further double bedroom, featuring an exposed ‘A’ frame and access to a balcony, making the most of the elevated position.
Externally, the property includes three stables, offering clear potential for equestrian or lifestyle use, along with ample off-road parking, detached garage and a 7kW Type C car charging point. Patio seating areas can be found to both sides of the property, while the surrounding land extends to approximately 7 acres.
The elevated position affords far-reaching panoramic views to the front, taking in Pots and Pans, Hartshead Pike and, on a clear day, extending as far as Jodrell Bank and the Welsh hills.
Thorpe Lane can be located running between Huddersfield Road and Doctor Lane in the popular Scouthead district of Saddleworth. With an excellent balance of being semi-rural whilst offering easy access to local towns and the Saddleworth villages, this would prove an ideal choice.
Drainage to septic tank.
