Mottram Road, Stalybridge

Dale House stands in a prominent position on Mottram Road, Stalybridge and is a great example of a large Victorian house with all of its original features intact, and which now are a rare find.

Looking out on to the local allotments, with great views of the Pennines to the rear, the property boasts many original features from ceiling roses, original stone and tile floors, high skirting boards, full height sash windows and beautiful internal woodwork.

Having been in the same family since 1967, Dale House offers an opportunity for a discerning buyer to acquire a rare and beautiful property.

The house has significant potential for a large family home which continues to benefit from great amenity of the location, ample parking, large mature gardens, garage and sits in its own plot of 1/3 of an acre. Now in need of some modernisation and maintenance, the house has great scope for the next owners to benefit from generous space whether used for friends or family entertaining, relaxing and working from home. The house was improved over the 1970s and 1980s by restoring and preserving original features such as skirting boards, ceiling roses and fireplaces, installing central heating and sensitively bringing the woodwork, doors, stairway and bannisters back to original condition.

A highly regarded location offers local amenities from the town centre and station to Cheetham's Park, Priory Tennis Club and Archery Club all just a stroll from your front door.

The house, built in 1875 and in June of that year the house was originally owned by Mr George Grimson who ran a local engineering business. George Grimson died in 1885 and left Dale House to his two sons who sold it through probate in 1887 to James Edward Shaw who was again a local businessman in wool spinning and manufacture. The house changed hands for the princely sum for £1440!
