Higher Calderbrook Road, Littleborough, OL15

Dating back to 1750, a rare opportunity has arisen to own and purchase this truly breathtaking semi detached stone home, located on the outskirts of the highly sought after and popular suburban town of Littleborough in a highly scenic, peaceful and private location. Littleborough is a small town located in the borough of Rochdale on the doorstep to West Yorkshire, roughly 2.5 miles outside the centre of Rochdale, 6 miles south of Todmorden and roughly 14 miles north of Manchester. Littleborough is host to a number of charming, locally ran and owned businesses including cafes, bars and shops as well as larger established chains such as Co-op, Sainsburys and Lidl. Littleborough has its own train station, which offers direct routes to Manchester, Rochdale, Halifax and Leeds. For the remaining commuters out there, the local M62 junction is just a short a scenic drive round Hollingworth Lake. For those who love the outdoors, you are spoilt for choice with a number of local beauty spots close by including Blackstone Edge, Gaddings Dam, Watergrove reservoir and the previously mentioned local tourist attraction Hollingworth Lake country park.

The property itself truly must be viewed to be appreciated, having undergone a full program of renovation throughout by the current owners, all carefully carried to ensure the character �cottage� feel has none been lost whilst offering the comforts and conveniences expected today in the modern home. This includes bespoke fitted kitchen with a number of high end fixtures and fittings (granite worktop, antique brass taps and handles and solid oak kitchen unit doors) as well as integrated fridge, freezer and washer, range style �Leisure� cooker, ceramic �Belfast� sink along with feature inset shelving, which re occurs throughout the house and �Amtico� flooring. The owners have also insulated all the external ground floor walls and external first floor walls in the house and have installed a top central heating system, which is assisted by the multi fuel burner in the lounge. With many original features throughout (as you would imagine with a house dating back to 1750!) including exposed stone walls throughout, timber beams, stone fireplaces (which were previously boarded over and have been exposed by the current owners) and original stone staircase leading upto the first floor (which dates back to when the house was originally built). Internally the property comprises entrance porch, large lounge which is over 9 meters long (over 30ft meaning this is the size of two reception rooms) with two burners both with original stone surrounds (the main burner is a multi fuel, the second burner is for wood), exposed stone wall and original staircase, as well as solid oak staircase leading upto landing. The dining kitchen kitchen (which is part of the extension, which was an addition to the house in 1850) is over 7 meters in length and currently houses good size dining table and was installed in 2008 by the current owners. To the first floor of the property there are three DOUBLE bedrooms, beautiful family bathroom (with standalone bath and exposed stone wall) and access to both loft spaces (which houses the water cylinder and controls). The master bedroom is a true feature of the house, with the original stone staircase leading upto this, its own ensuite shower room (which was installed by the current owners in 2018), dressing room / walk in closet and patio doors leading to the balcony of which some of Littleboroughs most stunning views can be enjoyed whilst drinking a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

Externally, the property is set in a peaceful and most enviable of location. To the front of the property there is a small forecourt area as well as driveway for two cars (there is an additional parking spot on the side of the lane, however this does not belong to the house). To the rear of the house there is a granite patio garden which also features Yorkshire flag stones and multiple storage areas (for timber etc). Beyond this there is a truly breath taking garden that has became a labour of love for the owners. Fully completed in late 2020, the owners have converted this once unused farmland and converted it into a beautiful summer garden ideal for the kids to play, host a garden party, or enjoy a summer barbecue! The owners have also built a timber construction summer house which has heating and is fully insulated, where the owners have spent many an evening watching the sun set. The garden itself is spread over two levels separated by a large rockery and is fully lawned. Truly outstanding views can be enjoyed over Littleborough, Blackstone Edge the Calder valley and beyond! With double glazed windows throughout and modern gas central heating system, dont miss out on this what is surely one of the most unique and breath taking houses to come to market in the Littleborough in 2024!
