Description
Hidden away at the end of a discreet lane serving only a select handful of homes, Oak House is an exceptional contemporary residence of distinction. Set behind electric gates within approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, this remarkable six-bedroom home extends to over 4,971 sq ft of overall living accommodation, complemented by a detached wellness suite and gymnasium, creating a lifestyle offering rarely found in the area.
Originally commissioned and constructed as a bespoke self-build in 2004, Oak House was conceived with an unwavering commitment to quality, practicality and longevity. Acquired by the current owners in 2010, the property has since undergone a programme of thoughtful enhancement and refinement, resulting in a home that seamlessly balances luxury, functionality and contemporary family living.
From the moment of arrival, the sense of exclusivity is unmistakable. Electric gates open onto an expansive courtyard providing extensive secure parking alongside an attached double garage. The recently added entrance vestibule, complete with an impressive 'Roc' entrance door, provides an elegant introduction to the exceptional accommodation beyond.
Stepping inside, a reception hallway immediately establishes the tone of the home. Beautifully proportioned and flooded with natural light, it serves as the central hub from which the accommodation flows effortlessly across three floors. A sweeping staircase rises through the house, while glazed internal doors provide glimpses of the exquisite living spaces beyond.
The principal lounge is a room of remarkable scale and sophistication. Bathed in natural light from full-height windows and dual-aspect glazing, it offers the perfect setting for both entertaining and everyday relaxation. Bespoke handcrafted mouldings, decorative ceiling roses and rich 15mm solid oak flooring combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. At its heart stands a truly extraordinary carved Chinese alabaster fireplace, weighing approximately two tonnes and requiring structural reinforcement during construction—a statement piece of exceptional rarity and craftsmanship. A fitted Bang & Olufsen entertainment system completes this impressive space, creating an environment equally suited to family gatherings, entertaining guests or quiet evenings at home.
Double glazed doors lead through to the magnificent orangery, an exceptional extension of the living accommodation spanning approximately 370 sq ft. With over thirty feet of glazing overlooking the gardens, granite flooring and feature wall, a newly upgraded roof and skylights, this tranquil retreat can be enjoyed throughout every season. Whether utilised as an additional reception room, informal dining space or peaceful garden room, its versatility is matched only by its beautiful outlook.
The formal dining room exudes elegance and atmosphere. Rich finishes, bespoke ceiling detailing, solid oak flooring and statement lighting combine to create a sophisticated setting designed for memorable dinner parties and special occasions.
Even the guest cloakroom reflects the uncompromising attention to detail evident throughout the home. Thoughtfully redesigned with floating illuminated features, bespoke cabinetry and luxury fittings, it delivers a boutique five-star hotel experience for visitors.
At the heart of Oak House lies the magnificent dining kitchen. Designed and handcrafted by Fineline Interiors, this stunning space has been created for those who love to cook, entertain and gather together. Beautiful two tone cabinetry sits alongside premium quartz work surfaces, whilst the substantial central island provides extensive preparation space, informal seating and additional storage. The breakfast bar top and wine rack top are finished in complimenting wood grain. An impressive range of integrated appliances includes twin ovens, combination microwave oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, waste disposal system and Quooker boiling water tap. Garden-facing windows and french doors ensure a seamless connection with the outdoor spaces beyond.
The adjoining utility room, also bespoke by Fineline Interiors, provides further storage and laundry facilities, with direct access to both the exterior and the double garage.
The garage itself reflects the same meticulous standards found throughout the property. Featuring recently installed electric doors and granite tiled flooring, it provides accommodation for two vehicles alongside additional storage and housing for the twin boiler system and Megaflo pressurised hot water installation.
The first floor is centred around a generous galleried landing illuminated by natural light cascading from roof windows above.
The principal suite is a sanctuary of luxury and indulgence. Exceptional in both scale and design, it incorporates distinct sleeping, lounging and dressing areas to create a private retreat reminiscent of a boutique hotel suite. Bespoke Proline dressing furniture and fitted wardrobes provide extensive storage, whilst windows to both front and rear elevations flood the room with natural light. The sumptuous en-suite bathroom, finished with premium Porcelanosa tiling, features twin wash basins, a floating WC and an oversized walk-in shower enclosure. The scale of the suite also offers the flexibility to create two separate bedrooms if desired, with two existing access points already in place.
A substantial second bedroom is currently utilised as a home office, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation. Offering approximately 215 sq ft of space, dual-aspect windows and bespoke fitted furniture, it would equally serve as an excellent bedroom, studio or hobby room.
Bedrooms three and four are both generous double rooms, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes and private en-suite shower facilities, providing ideal accommodation for family members or guests.
Completing the first floor is a beautifully appointed family bathroom with corner bath and bespoke vanity storage.
The second floor provides yet more versatility. Currently arranged as a home studio and additional sitting room, these substantial spaces could easily be reconfigured as further double bedrooms, guest suites or independent living accommodation. A WC and wash room already serves this level, with scope to create additional shower facilities if required.
For those seeking multi-generational living, accommodation for older children, visiting guests, live-in support or dedicated home-working environments, Oak House offers flexibility on a scale rarely encountered.
Separate from the main residence, yet integral to its lifestyle offering, is the purpose-built wellness suite and gymnasium. Extending to approximately 600 sq ft, this outstanding facility enjoys floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the gardens, creating an inspiring environment for exercise and wellbeing. Recently enhanced with a thermally improved roof, new finishes and upgraded interiors, the gym also benefits from its own heating and plumbing systems, shower facilities and private sauna. Composite decking immediately outside provides the perfect place to unwind after a workout, further enhancing the property's luxurious wellness credentials.
The gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Carefully landscaped and thoughtfully designed, they provide a series of private outdoor spaces that evolve throughout the day. Composite decking, glass balustrades and extensive stone terraces create multiple areas for entertaining, dining and relaxation, while mature planting attracts a wealth of local wildlife and ensures year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
From morning coffee on the lower terrace, to leisurely lunches beneath the parasol and evening drinks on the elevated deck beside the wellness suite, every corner of the grounds has been designed to maximise enjoyment of the peaceful surroundings.
Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, Oak House enjoys exceptional accessibility. Miles of countryside walks and cycling routes begin virtually from the doorstep, while Tandle Hill Country Park is within easy walking distance. Excellent connections to the M60 and M62 provide convenient access across Greater Manchester and beyond, whilst Royton, Shaw and the picturesque villages of Saddleworth offer an outstanding selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities.
Oak House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual residence where architectural quality, luxurious specification and exceptional versatility combine to create one of Royton's most impressive family homes.
