Saddleworth's £1.6 million property with rooftop terraces

The home, on Stockport Road in Lydgate, is up for sale with Ryder & Dutton estate agents and also has a self-contained annex, which the current owners rent out for holidays with Sykes Cottages.

Set on half an acre of land with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception areas the agents describe the home as offering "unparalleled, commanding views" over The Pennines.

A former vicarage with electronic gates and an small artificial football pitch, their are also plenty of nearby pubs and eateries, including The Royal George, The Farrars Arms and The White Hart Inn.

The property is accessed through electronic gates and set back from the main road, there is also a feature pond and access to the open countryside.

The main house has two rooftop terraces, with one either side of the roof. 

The first and smaller terrace faces towards Stockport Road and can be seen in the listing's photographs to have two sun loungers kept there.

The second and larger area features the same furnishings but faces the rear of the house and has more countryside views.

A white kitchen with a breakfast bar with traditional stone flooring is in the main house, toward the rear of the property.

There is also a large patio area in the garden which features a small artificial football pitch.

The annex, named Clock Cottage, is built around the 'unique' clock window and the four curved stones that encase it. 

The stones were originally purchased to hold the clock face in The Church of Saint Anne Lydgate but after a storm, were rendered useless for this purpose.

They were then given to the vicar, who would have lived in Lydgate House at the time. 

They were later discovered buried in the garden and, in 2019, were restored and fitted into Clock Cottage to house the circular window.

Clock Cottage has a current income of £27,000 per annum through holiday letting and is screened off from the main property to allow for privacy for both the tenants and the property owners. 

It is here one of three rooftop terraces is located, with the cottage's balcony facing towards Stockport Road and below in the patio area viewers can find a hot tub.

The estate agents said: "This is truly a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful home in arguably the most desirable location in Saddleworth and as such, viewing is paramount to avoid disappointment."
