About
A truly unique and deceptively spacious detached home set on sought-after Bracken Close in Springhead. Viewing is considered essential. EPC: C.
Offering in excess of 1,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, this individually designed home has remained within the same family since its original construction and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious, well-balanced property in a convenient yet semi-rural setting.
Ideally suited to growing families, the property enjoys easy access to local towns, well-regarded schools and surrounding countryside.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall with useful under-stairs storage, leading through to a fitted kitchen which opens into the dining room with a separate utility room just off.
This area offers excellent potential for reconfiguration to create a generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family space, ideal for modern living and entertaining (alternative layout suggestions available within the floorplans).
A large ‘l’-shaped lounge can be accessed from both the hallway and dining room, providing a flexible and well-proportioned reception space.
The ground floor is further enhanced by a substantial conservatory with underfloor heating and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
To the first floor are three spacious double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room.
A luxury family bathroom completes the level, fitted with a low-level WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath with rainfall shower over.
The second floor is accessed via a staircase from the second bedroom and provides a useful and versatile loft room, ideal as a home office, gym or playroom.
Two Velux windows allow for good natural light, and there is the added convenience of a separate WC.
Further benefits include gas central heating via a Vaillant combination boiler and uPVC double glazing throughout. Externally, the property is set back behind a small walled front garden.
To the rear is a low-maintenance Indian stone flagged garden, ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining.
Off-road parking is available via a driveway to one side, with a detached garage positioned to the other.
Bracken Close is located just off Carr House Road in the popular Springhead district, conveniently placed for access to Oldham town centre, Lees and the Uppermill / Saddleworth villages, all offering a wide range of amenities, shops and eateries.
Several well-regarded primary and junior schools are also within close proximity, further enhancing the property’s appeal for families.
Viewing highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, flexibility and potential this home has to offer.
