Manor Street, Royton, Oldham, Greater Manchester, OL2

A unique two-bedroom detached bungalow set on a superb plot of just under an acre, with three stables and a further parcel of land extending to just under an acre. Offering fantastic versatility and future potential, subject to planning, all within easy reach of Royton, Oldham and Shaw.

A genuinely rare opportunity combining a detached two-bedroom bungalow, three substantial stables, extensive gardens and additional land in an exceptionally convenient position between Royton and Oldham.

The Stables is a property that is difficult to compare with the conventional bungalow market. Occupying a generous main plot extending to just under an acre, the property offers approximately 637 sq ft of single-storey accommodation alongside three stables/outbuildings and an impressive amount of outdoor space. In addition, a further parcel of land extending to just under an acre is offered alongside the property, creating an exciting proposition for buyers seeking land, equestrian facilities, substantial outside space or longer-term potential.

The additional land and existing stables may offer scope for alternative uses or future development, subject entirely to the necessary planning permissions, consents and regulations. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the relevant local authority regarding any intended use or development.

Internally, the bungalow offers a practical and well-proportioned layout arranged entirely across the ground floor.

The kitchen is particularly impressive in scale, measuring approximately 19'2" x 8'4". Bright and functional, it provides an excellent amount of worktop and storage space with room for everyday dining and direct access outside.

The main living room measures approximately 12'10" x 11'9" and provides a comfortable reception space, with glazed doors opening towards the outside and helping to create a connection between the accommodation and its garden setting.

There are two bedrooms, both offering useful and versatile accommodation. Depending upon individual requirements, the second bedroom could equally lend itself to use as a home office, dressing room or guest room.

Completing the accommodation is a particularly generous bathroom measuring approximately 11'10" x 6'0", fitted with a modern suite including a separate shower enclosure.

Outside is where The Stables really comes into its own.

The principal property occupies a plot extending to just under an acre, providing an amount of outdoor space rarely associated with a two-bedroom bungalow in such an accessible location. The grounds incorporate extensive garden and open areas, established planting and a wonderful feeling of space and privacy.

Whether a purchaser is looking for space for gardening, animals, outdoor entertaining, hobbies or simply wants considerably more land than a conventional residential property can provide, there is enormous versatility here. The property also benefits from off-street parking.

A major feature is the presence of three stables. For purchasers with equestrian interests, the existing facilities combined with the surrounding land create an immediately appealing proposition. Equally, the buildings could suit somebody requiring workshops, substantial storage, hobby space or other ancillary uses.

The stables themselves may also provide scope for adaptation, conversion or redevelopment in the future, subject strictly to the necessary planning permission, building regulations and other relevant consents.

Alongside the principal plot is a further parcel of land extending to just under an acre, which is also offered with the property. This considerably increases the overall appeal and creates a proposition that could suit a wide variety of purchasers.

The additional land may warrant investigation regarding its longer-term potential, including possible future development, subject entirely to the correct planning permissions, access requirements, surveys, consents and all other applicable regulations. No representation is made that planning permission will be granted, and purchasers should satisfy themselves independently regarding any future development intentions.

The setting is another major attraction. Oldham Edge lies within the immediate wider area, providing acres of open grassland, woodland and elevated countryside with far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. A public footpath runs alongside the property, giving convenient access to local walking routes and creating a surprisingly rural lifestyle despite the excellent proximity to surrounding towns.

For walkers, dog owners or anyone who enjoys having open countryside close to home, this is an excellent feature and helps give The Stables a character quite different from a typical residential bungalow.

Manor Street is extremely well positioned for access into Royton, Oldham and Shaw.

Royton provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and local services, while Oldham town centre offers a broader selection of shopping, leisure and commercial facilities. Shaw is also within easy reach, providing further shops, supermarkets, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The location is particularly convenient for commuters, with access to nearby Metrolink connections across Oldham and Shaw providing services towards Manchester. Regular bus routes operate throughout the surrounding area, while road connections provide straightforward access towards Royton, Oldham, Shaw, Rochdale and the wider Greater Manchester area.

For those travelling further afield, the surrounding road network provides convenient connections towards the M60 and M62 motorway networks, making the location practical for commuting throughout Greater Manchester and beyond.

Families are also well served by a broad selection of primary and secondary schools throughout Royton and the surrounding Oldham area, with a number of established schools accessible within the wider locality. Purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding individual catchment areas and admissions.

What makes The Stables particularly special is the sheer versatility of what is being offered.

For somebody wanting a detached single-storey home surrounded by an exceptional amount of outdoor space, it offers exactly that. For an equestrian buyer, the three stables and land are immediately attractive. For somebody requiring workshops, storage or hobby space, the existing buildings provide valuable flexibility. For a purchaser considering the property from a longer-term investment perspective, the additional land and existing structures introduce another potentially exciting dimension, subject always to the appropriate permissions.

Most importantly, all of this is offered within an incredibly convenient location for Royton, Oldham and Shaw, combining the feeling of space and countryside with everyday amenities and transport connections close at hand.

Properties combining a detached bungalow, three stables, extensive gardens, additional land, off-street parking and immediate access to countryside walking routes are exceptionally difficult to find in this location.

The Stables represents a genuinely unusual opportunity and one that needs to be viewed in person to fully appreciate the scale of the grounds, versatility of the buildings and overall potential on offer.
