Nestled in the middle of open Greenbelt countryside is this stunning and spacious three bedroom middle cottage. Forming part of a former barn dating back a number of centuries and sympathetically converted to create a modern contemporary home within a period shell. The home is accessed to the front via a secure timber entrance door and you are immediately greeted to the shaker style kitchen/diner room. Feel the warmth beneath your feet with the underfloor heated stone flooring which continues throughout the ground floor. A door off the kitchen goes to a downstairs wc. An opening from the kitchen leads into the sizeable lounge and bi-folding doors open to the quaint south facing rear garden. From the lounge, stairs rise to the first floor landing. The first floor has a tall ceiling height which provides a spacious feeling. Off the landing are two good size double bedrooms, of which one looks over towards Strinesdale reservoir whilst the other reaches over towards open countryside fields. The family bathroom is also located off the first floor landing which provides a traditional country bathroom suite in keeping with the age of the home. From the first floor landing, a further set of stairs rise to the second floor double bedroom with exposed roof beams and trusses. Outside you will find a lovely rear garden which has Indian paved patio space leading onto a lawn with south facing aspect and exceptionally far reaching views over towards Manchester & Cheshire. Allocated parking for two cars is across from the entrance door. Positioned within the rural Strinesdale on the cusp of all Saddleworth amenities. An ideal home for those who are wanting a change in lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of city living. This truly idyllic setting which sees countryside walking routes in abundance sees the well regarded Roebuck Inn a few minutes walk away. The home has underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, full central heating with a gas fired boiler and double glazing.
