Description

Sitting proudly above the Saddleworth village of Uppermill in a rural setting is ‘The Rowans’ built in 1999 in traditional style - a four bedroom detached family home which includes well balanced living accommodation throughout. Meticulously manicured gardens wrap around the home which is set above the lane and offers tree lined privacy to the boundaries. The home has been constructed to a high standard by the current owners, a true credit to them.

Internally living accommodation is to two floors. An entrance hall serves as a great space for shoes and coats with natural light from the side double glazed windows. Opening into a dining hall which has a stunning oak staircase to the first floor with feature floor to ceiling arch window. To the right of the dining hall is a lounge which spans the depth of the home, with a triple aspect outlook and integrated Bose speaker system. On the other side of the home is a great size fitted kitchen with pantry cupboard whilst behind the kitchen is a large utility space with downstairs study.

Off the first floor galleried landing are four double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, whilst the secondary bedroom has an En-Suite shower. A family four piece bathroom is spacious and bright. In the fourth bedroom, a staircase leads up to the loft room which has been carpeted and serves as a multi-purpose space. Adjacent to the loft room is a large loft storage area with shelving.

A stunning home set within its own private grounds with landscaped spaces to three sides of the home. An electric gated entrance to the property leads to a driveway for a number of cars and a double detached garage with space for two cars. A further detached garage is positioned at road level for a choice of secure parking.

This is an ideal home for those looking for a quiet lifestyle yet within a five minute drive from amenities on Uppermill's High Street including greengrocers, bakery, butchers, cafes, pubs and post office. Well regarded St. Chad's C of E infant & junior school is a 20 minute walk along the scenic lane with Saddleworth Secondary School located in neighbouring Diggle village.
