3 bed cottage for sale

Summit, Littleborough OL15

Nestled in the heart of Summit on the outskirts of Littleborough, this striking three-bedroom stone cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home that seamlessly blends character, comfort, and contemporary living over two storeys with a hidden gem of an unexpected third storey to the lower ground floor level! The property enjoys an enviable position with sweeping views over the surrounding hills and picturesque countryside, creating a tranquil and inspiring setting for daily life. Having undergone a meticulous and comprehensive renovation over the past five years, the home has been thoughtfully restored from its original stonework, with every element carefully considered to preserve its unique charm while introducing modern luxuries giving it somewhat of a multi generational vibe.

The centrepiece of the renovation is the bespoke kitchen, installed in 2024, which features high-quality cabinetry, integrated appliances, and elegant work surfaces, making it a true culinary haven for both every-day meals and entertaining guests. Both bathrooms were newly installed in 2022, offering stylish fixtures and contemporary finishes for a spa-like experience, while the gas central heating system (completely replaced in 2022, including all piping and plumbing) ensures year-round comfort and efficiency. Throughout the property, original character features abound, including exposed stone walls, timber beams, and mullion-style windows that flood the interiors with natural light and offer delightful glimpses of the surrounding landscape.

The accommodation is arranged over three spacious levels, with the lower ground floor offering a versatile self-contained area, ideal for a family member seeking independence or as a potential Airbnb suite (subject to appropriate permissions) offering additional income opportunity. This space includes open plan lounge (with multi fuel burner offering independent heating) with kitchen (with patio doors off lounge leading into the garden), double bedroom and bathroom with utility area. Each of the three bedrooms is a generous double, providing ample space for relaxation and storage, and the boarded loft (accessed via a fitted ladder and fully insulated) offers valuable additional storage or the potential for further development. The main living areas are designed with both comfort and style in mind, creating a welcoming environment for family life or entertaining. The property occupies a substantial plot, larger than many neighbouring homes, and enjoys an attractive rear aspect that is not overlooked, ensuring privacy and a sense of seclusion.

Littleborough’s vibrant centre is just a short distance away, offering a charming mix of independent retailers, every-day amenities, and convenient access to Littleborough train station, which provides direct routes to both Leeds and Manchester, making this an ideal location for commuters. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its natural beauty, with celebrated local attractions such as Gaddings Dam, Blackstone Edge, and Hollingworth Lake country park all within easy reach, while the unique sight of alpacas grazing on the nearby hills adds a special touch to the area’s rural charm.

Achieving a high EPC rating of C (unique for a property of this) speak to the love, care and attention that has gone into the renovation of this splendid home.
