Description

Being sold with no chain is a quintessentially characterful detached residence offered to the market for sale in a prized Diggle location. Longcroft is a Grade II listed home which was originally three properties and merged together to create one substantial family home. The current owners have lovingly enhanced the property to blend original features with a modern finish.
 
Internally, living accommodation is to four floors. The ground floor entrance hallway leads to three double bedrooms, of which the master has a walk-in wardrobe and En-Suite shower room with underfloor heating. The ground floor also has a contemporary shower room, utility room and boiler room.
 
Stairs which rise to the first floor lead naturally into a breathtaking lounge which carefully exposes character with contemporary and has a panoramic outlook towards Diggle and beyond. The first floor level also features a modern kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and wc.
 
The second floor has two double bedrooms and an ultra contemporary bathroom suite. A spiralling staircase then rises to a third floor with a versatile room which makes an ideal sitting room, home cinema or study.
 
Externally, gardens are to three sides of the property and are easy to maintain yet offer a variety of spaces to enjou throughout the seasons. The front elevation in particular captures the essence of the surrounding landscape with a dramatic outlook spanning from Standedge, through Diggle and over towards Pots & Pans with Dovestones lurking in the background. Ample off street parking is by means of a driveway to the front with double garage whilst the rear has a further driveway abutting Standedge Road.
 
The home is believed to date back nearly four centuries to the early 1600's, character features have been retained throughout, enhanced both internally and externally to capture what is a truly splendid example of a period Saddleworth home.
 
The village of Diggle is seen as one of the most sought after villages to reside in currently within Saddleworth, mainly due to now hosting Saddleworth High School. Within a short stroll of the home are all of the amenities in the village including a choice of Pubs, Primary & Secondary School and Post Office. For those who enjoy countryside walks, you have a choice of Castleshaw, the Pennine Way and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal towpath amongst the endless walking routes along the Saddleworth Moors.
 
Viewings are highly warranted to appreciate the standard of finish along with the vastness of accommodation on offer.
