Round Barn, Turton

Once two quarrymen's cottages, now thoughtfully combined, this double-fronted stone residence delivers generous space, timeless character, and modern-day sophistication in one unique and welcoming package.

From the moment you arrive, the home's handsome stonework, symmetry, and cottage windows sets a tone of warmth and authenticity. Step through the porch and into the first of two inviting reception rooms: a spacious living room with a feature stone fireplace, teal accent wall, and walnut-toned flooring. Natural light pours through the front window, highlighting every charming detail.

To the rear, the kitchen captures the best of both worlds - contemporary design meets homely comfort. Sleek grey, concrete-effect cabinetry pairs beautifully with seamless Corian worktops and a matching breakfast bar, perfect for morning coffee or casual dining. Integrated Neff and Bosch appliances - including twin ovens, an induction hob, extractor, dishwasher, and twin fridge-freezers - make this a dream kitchen for both daily life and entertaining.
The kitchen's thoughtful layout and soft palette are accentuated by light streaming through the rear window and door, leading directly out to the garden.
Next door, the utility room continues the stylish yet practical theme with white country-style cabinetry, dark laminate worktops, and plumbing for laundry appliances - alongside direct garden access and a convenient downstairs WC.

Through a glazed door, discover a large lounge - a peaceful haven framed by countryside views. Two large windows capture the rolling green beyond, while a stone fireplace and soft carpeting create the perfect setting for quiet evenings or lively gatherings alike.
Both reception rooms balance rustic character with refined décor - a blend of soft neutrals, textured finishes, and heritage accents that make the space instantly feel like home.

Upstairs, three bedrooms promise peaceful rest and rural views. The principal suite is the perfect retreat, with two windows overlooking the countryside, a wall of built-in wardrobes with mirrored panels, and a leather-effect feature wall adding subtle luxury. The en-suite offers a hotel-style finish - travertine tiling, walk-in double shower, contemporary vanity unit, and WC.
The second bedroom is another generous double, with twin front-facing windows and a statement blue geometric feature wall. The third, smaller bedroom serves beautifully as a nursery, home office, or cosy reading nook.

The family bathroom is a showstopper, with a freestanding bath, separate glass shower enclosure, wall-hung vanity, WC, and rich copper-bronze floor tiles that add warmth and drama.

Outside, the garden is a generous, private sanctuary a large lawn perfect for family life, al fresco dining, or simply soaking up the peace of the surrounding countryside. Beyond the main garden lies an additional plot of land to the side, offering exciting scope for a garage, vegetable garden, or further landscaping.
There's also the opportunity to create gated off-road parking a rare and valuable feature in such a scenic setting.
