Harewood Lodge, a beautifully preserved remnant of Manchester’s industrial heyday, was originally built in the 1880s and expanded by the Rothwell family. Passed down through generations, this home boasts unique period features that have been impeccably maintained and can only be truly appreciated in person.
The Lodge is set within a gated complex, offering ample front parking and a peaceful, spacious rear garden. Surrounded by mature greenery, the garden provides a private retreat with tranquil ponds and manicured lawns that gently slope down to Lords Brook in the valley, creating a serene and picturesque setting.

With three kitchens, a utility room, and an external workshop, the home offers both luxury and practicality.

The loft, accessible by ladder, is fitted with windows and standing-height eaves, offering abundant storage and great potential for future development.
