Description

NO CHAIN. A fabulous opportunity to acquire a renovated detached farm house with 8 acres of land, outbuildings and planning permission for a separate annex above sought after Delph. EPC - tbc.

Originally built as a school house, this superbly renovated and extended detached family home enjoying 360 degree panoramic views, is set in a tranquil and elevated position above the highly sought-after village of Delph. Occupying approximately 8 acres the property offers exceptional potential, including two generously sized barns and existing planning permission for a single-storey, two-bedroom annex.

With no onward chain, early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional accommodation on offer. A private driveway with electric sliding gate leads to the main residence, where a spacious entrance hall with a multi-fuel stove opens into three versatile reception rooms and a contemporary kitchen–breakfast room. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a tall integrated fridge, new touch-control electric AGA, Quettle hot tap, waste disposal unit, two Bosch double ovens, an induction hob with pop-up extractor, and a highly practical walk-in larder with American fridge freezer. Two additional rooms off the kitchen offer flexibility for use as an office, boot room, gym or dining room, with a separate wc and cloakroom. This area also benefits from its own independent access, making it ideal for a self-contained annexe or guest suite.

On the first floor, the galleried landing provides access to three generous double bedrooms. One bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe, a stylish en-suite shower room, and a picture window opening onto a rooftop area with the potential to create a balcony to maximise the outstanding views. The principal bathroom includes a four-piece suite comprising a freestanding bath, separate shower, washbasin, and low-level WC. A useful laundry room is also located on this level, along with stairs leading to a fourth double bedroom.

A second staircase leads to the top floor, where an impressive open-plan newly installed master suite enjoys far-reaching views through Velux windows. The suite includes a contemporary en-suite wet room with a rainfall shower, double vanity unit with drawers, low-level WC, matt-black fittings and elegant Venetian plaster walls.

Externally, the property stands within approximately 8 acres and includes an extensive rear lawned garden with a decked veranda enclosed by a tall glass balustrade—an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. An existing area in one of the front fields is ideal for equestrians. A large gravelled driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds also feature a substantial barn with previously approved planning permission (now lapsed) for conversion into two semi-detached dwellings, as well as a further sizeable barn offering numerous potential uses and conversion opportunities. Existing planning permission is in place for a two-bedroom annex, with some groundwork already completed.

Springhill occupies an elevated position at the top of Broad Lane, benefiting from breathtaking rural views and is a haven for wildlife while remaining within easy reach of the desirable village of Delph, known for its shops, wine bars, and traditional pubs. The area is served by a popular primary school and for commuters, the M62 motorway is conveniently located approximately 10 minutes away.

Springhill Farm offers a simply fantastic opportunity for multigenerational families, equestrians and developers alike and must be viewed to be appreciated.
