3 bed cottage for sale

Owd House, Fern Hill Lane, Rochdale OL12

Owd House perfectly blends historic charm with modern comfort, set within an idyllic countryside location.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful and spacious Grade II listed semi-detached cottage, fully refurbished, and positioned within the much sought after semi-rural hamlet of Fern Hill. Dating back to 1691, as proudly inscribed into the original stonework, the property is steeped in history and character, showcasing a wealth of period features throughout.

The cottage retains many original elements, including exposed overhead beams, a striking stone staircase, refurbished mullion windows with bespoke double glazing, and a traditional stone slate roof. A delightful cobbled pathway leads through the front garden, enhancing the property's timeless appeal and stunning views.

Internally, the accommodation is both inviting, spacious and well-appointed, comprising an entrance hall, a lounge featuring an inglenook fireplace, and a large bespoke dining kitchen designed to complement the cottage's heritage with all the modern comforts.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, including a large principal bedroom with ensuite facilities, alongside a well-presented family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a south-facing front garden with far-reaching views across open countryside, with a rear private enclosed garden offering a peaceful retreat. In addition, there is a detached double garage equipped with power and solar panels with battery storage that feeds the house (adding a source of income to its energy efficient c-rating), along with further off-road parking for approximately three to four vehicles, and a large wooden shed.

As well as feeling like you are in in the countryside, this property’s location benefits from being just a short walk to all the facilities of Norden Village.
