4 bedroom detached house for sale

A superb character detached home with additional detached cottage set in a wonderful position in Dobcross. Offering 3,500 sq ft plus cellars and loft, gated parking and large gardens, viewing comes highly recommended. EPC: D.

A rare opportunity to acquire this substantial detached former mill owners house situated in Dobcross and offered for sale on the open market for the first time in over 50 years. Although requiring a programme of modernisation and upgrading, there are limitless possibilities for the right buyer.

Built in 1850 and constructed in natural gritstone beneath a slate roof, Tamewater House has imposing elevations with feature bay windows, high ceilings and many character features as you would expect in a property of this period and style. It offers over 3,500 sq. foot of living accommodation, plus large cellars and a loft space.

Personal viewing will reveal a spacious reception hallway which opens to two substantial reception rooms and beyond this is a large dining room, fitted kitchen, lobby/utility room and ground floor bathroom. There are four double bedrooms on the first floor with dressing room and second bathroom, linen room and access to a substantial loft which provides over 1,000 sq. foot of space, which could be integrated into the main property.

The cellars have full head height and are absolutely ideal for integration into the main living space subject to the usual building and planning consents being obtained.

Tamewater House is accessed via a private driveway and electric gates which provides ample off road parking for up to 6 cars. There are mature gardens to either side including a stone flagged courtyard which has had access from the cellars at one point. Stone steps lead down to a large garden at the front which is level and surrounded by mature shrubs and flower borders.

The Sale of Tamewater House also includes Holly House, a detached self-contained property which would make an ideal guest annex or holiday cottage/Air BnB and includes two bedrooms, lounge and kitchen area with parking and garden. As with the main dwelling, upgrading and refurbishment is required.

Tamewater House can be located just off Wall Hill Road and in turn Delph New Road in the popular Saddleworth Village of Dobcross. Ideally located for easy access to local amenities and neighbouring villages including Delph, Diggle and Uppermill, with its local shops, cafés, pubs and recreational facilities including Uppermill park, museum and canal boats tours, this would prove an ideal choice.
