A part of Delph's history is presented to the market for sale. Friar Lodge dates back to the late 18th century, steeped in character charm and hidden away to create a quaint location within the village. Internally, the home sees accommodation to two floors and has a south facing garden.

The home has a large entrance hallway with tall ceiling height. A door opens to the lounge with scenic outlook towards the countryside and cast iron stove. The kitchen/diner features exposed roof beams with slate flooring and a door opens into a useful rear utility room.

On the first floor, a spacious landing offers space for a home study area. There are three bedrooms along with a four piece family bathroom suite.

The home predominantly features gardens to the front. A lovely country style garden provides a stunning outlook reaching Dovestones Reservoir and has a south facing aspect. Parking is for two vehicles to the rear of the property.

The home has rarely been presented to the market for sale, this is only the second time in nearly a century. The building was originally built in 1796 for Reverend John Buckley of Heights Church and previously served as a Vicarage before being repurposed into two homes. Only a stonesthrow from all of the amenities within Delph yet being secluded away from the village means you benefit from convenience and quietness. Delph Primary School is just a few minutes walk away.

Viewings are highly recommended and can be organised by calling the Uppermill office 7 days a week.
