About this property

    The Agency UK is delighted to present this superbly positioned three-bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous plot on Burnedge Fold Road in the highly desirable Saddleworth village of Grasscroft.

    Offered to the market Freehold with no onward chain, this is a home where the setting is every bit as impressive as the property itself. Surrounded by mature greenery, abutting woodland and enjoying breathtaking views across the Saddleworth countryside, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining exceptionally well connected to village life and Manchester beyond.

    Offering approximately 1,350 sq ft of accommodation, With addition to an integral garage, the property provides generous proportions throughout and represents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to create a truly special family home.

    While the property would benefit from modernisation, its size, layout and substantial plot offer considerable scope to reconfigure, extend or increase the bedroom accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. For buyers searching for a home they can put their own stamp on, opportunities in a setting such as this are increasingly difficult to find.

    The Accommodation

    Entering the property, a porch opens into the entrance hall, with a convenient guest WC and useful storage positioned just off.

    The principal lounge is a generously proportioned reception room, featuring a wide bow window allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space. To the rear, sliding doors provide a direct connection with the garden, creating the potential for a beautiful indoor-outdoor entertaining space.

    A short staircase from the entrance hall leads down to the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room, providing excellent scope to create a contemporary open-plan kitchen, dining and family space should a future owner wish to reconfigure the accommodation. From the kitchen a further vestibule provides internal access to the large integral garage, offering additional practicality as well as further potential within the existing footprint.

    To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. One bedroom also provides access to an additional dressing area, presenting further possibilities for reconfiguration or development, subject to any necessary consents. Whilst the second double also had a large wardrobe space and eaves storage.

    The accommodation is completed by a three-piece shower room.

    The property benefits from gas central heating via a combination boiler and predominantly double-glazed windows.

    One of the home's defining features is undoubtedly its position.

    Set within a substantial and corner established plot, the property is surrounded by mature trees, hedging and planting, creating an unusually green and private environment.

    Gardens extend around the property, with lawned areas and established borders complemented by a secluded stone-paved patio - an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

    The rear garden directly abuts woodland, giving the property a wonderfully peaceful backdrop and a feeling of seclusion that is difficult to replicate.

    From above, the property's setting becomes even more impressive, with the surrounding Saddleworth landscape stretching dramatically into the distance. Rolling hills, open countryside and the distinctive local scenery form an exceptional backdrop to everyday life.

    The integral garage, private driveway and established frontage complete what is an extremely versatile family property.

    Life in Grasscroft & Saddleworth

    Grasscroft is one of Saddleworth's most desirable residential villages, prized for its attractive surroundings, strong sense of community and enviable position between open countryside and the amenities of neighbouring villages.

    The area offers the best of both worlds: Beautiful Pennine scenery quite literally on the doorstep, while Manchester city centre remains comfortably accessible for work and leisure.

    The neighbouring village of Uppermill is within easy reach, renowned for its independent shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and thriving village atmosphere. Greenfield, Dobcross and the wider Saddleworth villages are also close by, providing an excellent selection of local amenities and some spectacular countryside walks.

    For commuters, Greenfield railway station is only a short distance away, providing direct rail services towards Manchester, while road and bus connections make Oldham and the wider Greater Manchester region readily accessible.

    Families are also particularly well served by the area's choice of local schools, recreational facilities and access to the surrounding countryside.

    Burnedge Fold Road itself enjoys a particularly attractive position just off Lovers Lane, placing the property within an established residential setting while retaining an immediate connection with the landscape for which Saddleworth is so well known.

    Homes offering this combination of space, plot, privacy, countryside setting and development potential in Grasscroft are rarely available.

    Whether sympathetically modernised within its existing footprint or transformed into a larger contemporary family residence, this property provides an exciting opportunity to create an outstanding long-term home in one of Saddleworth's most sought-after locations.

    Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate not only the accommodation, but the remarkable setting and potential this property has to offer.
