Description
This substantial stone-built detached home is positioned in the heart of the West Pennine Moors within the historic Smithills Estate, showcasing sweeping countryside views.
Known as Bumblebee Cottage, the home forms part of the Hampsons Farm development-once a working farm, now a tranquil residential cluster of just four homes. Being the only detached property in the development adds a distinct element of exclusivity, and its sizeable plot borders open pastureland.
Constructed within the last 10-15 years, the home blends traditional rural charm-such as stone elevations and a slate roof-with the benefits of contemporary construction standards, including excellent insulation and energy performance.
The internal layout is particularly generous, with expansive rooms and excellent built-in storage. In addition to a large detached outbuilding and a double garage, a sweeping driveway offers plentiful parking for multiple vehicles, including space for motorhomes or caravans.
The Location:
Homes of this stature and setting are rarely offered to the open market and are often retained as long-term residences, making this a rare buying opportunity. According to the current owners, the property enjoys a perfect blend of peaceful rural living with accessible transport connections-an increasingly valuable balance as urban areas continue to grow denser.
Lostock railway station, which offers direct routes into Manchester, is approximately 3.5 miles away, and Junction 5 of the M61 can be reached in under 5 miles.
The surrounding landscape has recently come under the stewardship of The Woodland Trust, which is investing in ecological restoration and long-term maintenance of the moorlands and woodlands-a move expected to further elevate the area's appeal as a rural sanctuary.
Despite the countryside feel, the home is still conveniently placed for shopping, dining, and commuting. The Trafford Centre and Manchester city centre are considered by many in the area to be within a manageable distance, while closer to home, Horwich town centre and the Middlebrook retail park provide an excellent range of everyday amenities.
