Property description

Additional text is available below.
Approached through gated access from Rochdale Road, the cottage enjoys a tucked-away position, with a private approach providing a reassuring sense of seclusion. Its traditional stone exterior sits comfortably within the countryside surroundings, creating an inviting first impression and a wonderful setting to return home to. Inside, the accommodation offers considerably more space than the cottage appearance might suggest. An entrance porch opens into the hallway, while the substantial living room measures approximately 19’8” x 16’4” at its widest points. Exposed ceiling beams and a feature fireplace bring warmth and character to this impressive room, with ample space for generous seating and relaxed family living. A separate dining area provides a dedicated setting for meals and entertaining, complementing the kitchen and adding flexibility to the ground-floor layout. The kitchen features fitted units and work surfaces, with the adjoining utility room providing useful additional space for laundry, storage and everyday practicalities. The sun room is a particularly appealing addition, offering a bright spot to sit with a morning coffee, enjoy the changing seasons or unwind after a countryside walk. Together, the ground-floor rooms provide an excellent foundation for buyers wishing to refresh the interiors and create a country home that reflects their own style. Upstairs, the cottage offers three bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. The largest measures approximately 11’ x 16’6”, providing a generous principal bedroom, while the second offers further comfortable accommodation. The third bedroom would suit a child’s room, study or dressing room, giving the layout flexibility for different stages of family life. A good-sized family bathroom completes the first floor. Outside, the patio provides space for seating and outdoor dining, while off-road parking adds everyday convenience. The surrounding countryside and open views are central to the property’s appeal, offering a setting where peaceful mornings, fresh air and evenings outdoors can become part of daily life. Despite its rural feel, the cottage is well placed for access to the local road network. Denshaw is close by, with Delph, Dobcross and Uppermill offering further village amenities, independent shops, cafés and places to eat. From everyday errands to a leisurely weekend lunch, the surrounding villages provide plenty to enjoy within an easy drive. Families have local education options including Christ Church C of E Primary School in Denshaw, with further primary schools across Saddleworth and secondary provision at Saddleworth School in Diggle. Transport connections make this an appealing base for those balancing country living with work and family commitments. The M62 is accessible via Junction 22, providing connections towards Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. The 356 bus serves Denshaw, linking the village with Oldham and several Saddleworth villages, while Greenfield station provides a further option for rail travel. For those who enjoy walking, cycling and exploring the outdoors, the surrounding moorland and countryside offer a wonderful backdrop. Equally, the cottage’s generous living room, traditional features and secluded approach make staying at home just as appealing. Offered with freehold tenure, Cherry Clough Farm Cottage represents an exciting opportunity to secure a spacious country property with character, privacy and considerable scope to personalise. A home with the potential to become something exceptional, in a setting that brings together countryside views and convenient village access.
