Knott Hill Lane, Delph, Saddleworth OL3

A beautiful historic stone farmhouse situated in an outstanding elevated position in the popular village of Delph. Viewing is considered essential. EPC: Tbc.

Knott Hill Farm is an historic stone-built farmhouse occupying an outstanding elevated position with around 2 acres of grazing land and superb far-reaching views.

The original property dates back to the late 1700's and is built in stone with a Yorkshire flagged roof. The property has been in the same ownership since 1986 when it was skillfully and sympathetically rebuilt and extended to create the current property which has considerable appeal.

There are original features with stone mullions in all the rooms giving panoramic views of the surrounding area.

The front entrance opens to a spacious hallway with guests' cloakroom and beautiful original oak ornate staircase rising to the first floor. The lounge has immense charm and style with open fire in inglenook fireplace, exposed oak beamed ceiling and mullioned windows. There is a useful storeroom which has potential to make an ideal study/office leading off the lounge.

The hallway leads to the formal dining room which would prove to be an ideal entertaining space and features exposed beams and mullioned windows. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of matching units with integrated appliances including fridge and dishwasher.

To the first floor, the landing has a large storage area and four double bedrooms. Two of the four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and all are of generous proportions. The master bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room and the views from all of the bedrooms can only be described as breathtaking.

The owners have transformed the outside space in their period of ownership, skillfully landscaping the gardens to create beautiful manicured lawns, hedges, flower beds, mature fruit trees, vegetable plot and hard landscaping including a large parking area and long sweeping driveway with remotely controlled electric gates. A greenhouse is also included.

The grazing land is of good quality and surrounds Knott Hill Farm.

Delph is situated in an area of great natural beauty, the proximity of the M62 motorway network which is within 15 minutes driving distance gives direct access to Manchester, Leeds and North West generally.
