AN ARCHITECTURAL HOME DESIGNED AROUND ITS SETTING

There is an immediate sense of arrival.

Beyond the electric gates, the house sits privately within approximately 0.9 acres of established grounds, its contemporary architecture giving little away about the scale of what lies beyond.

Step inside and the relationship between the house and its surroundings becomes immediately apparent. Clean architectural lines, expansive glazing and carefully framed views draw the landscape into the interior.

At the centre of everything is the extraordinary three-storey glass atrium.

Flooding all three levels with natural light, it creates a dramatic visual connection between the principal living spaces, gardens and Pennine landscape beyond. From the entrance level to the gym below, the atrium is not simply an architectural feature. It defines the character of the house.

GROUND FLOOR | SPACE TO LIVE AND ENTERTAIN

The entrance hall creates an impressive first impression, with sightlines extending through the property towards the atrium and landscape beyond.

The bespoke Bulthaup kitchen is one of the principal living spaces. Premium Wolf appliances, extensive storage and a substantial central island combine strong contemporary design with everyday practicality. Glazing across two elevations fills the room with natural light, while a separate utility room keeps the working elements of the home discreetly contained.

Alongside sits the remarkable atrium and dining space, creating an impressive setting for entertaining. Triple-height glazing frames the gardens and surrounding landscape, while sections of glazed flooring add another architectural dimension.

A dedicated cinema room provides a more intimate retreat, complete with electric blackout blinds.

A further en-suite room provides excellent flexibility as a guest bedroom, additional reception room or substantial home office.

PRIVATE GUEST AND MULTI-GENERATIONAL ACCOMMODATION

One of the home's most useful features is its private two-bedroom guest suite.

Thoughtfully incorporated into the main residence while retaining a sense of independence, it provides two en-suite bedrooms, a sitting room and access to its own courtyard garden.

It is particularly well suited to extended family, older children, regular guests or multi-generational living, providing privacy while remaining connected to the main house.

UPPER FLOOR | A PRIVATE RETREAT

A sculptural staircase with integrated LED lighting rises to the upper level, where a partially glazed landing overlooks the atrium and reinforces the remarkable sense of volume within the house.

The principal bedroom suite provides a private retreat of impressive proportions, with a dedicated dressing area, fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin basins.

A second substantial bedroom suite is currently arranged to incorporate craft and sitting areas, together with an en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. Its scale makes it particularly suitable for older children or guests wanting their own private living space.

A separate home office provides a quiet working environment with sufficient space for two workstations.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR | WELLNESS, FITNESS AND LEISURE

The lower level transforms the property from an impressive family home into something considerably more unusual.

Designed around wellbeing, fitness and recreation, this entire floor provides a collection of spaces rarely found within a private residence.

The gym occupies the lower section of the glass atrium, allowing you to train surrounded by natural light and views into the gardens.

A separate yoga and studio room provides a calmer environment, with French doors, a dual aspect and bespoke stone fireplace. Its proportions also give it considerable flexibility for alternative uses.

The substantial games and entertainment room opens directly onto the gardens through full-height glazing, creating another impressive social space.

A four-piece bathroom serves the wellness facilities, while a temperature-controlled wine cellar provides dedicated storage for a collection.

OUTSIDE | ALMOST AN ACRE TO CALL YOUR OWN

The gardens provide an important extension of the house.

Approximately 0.9 acres surround the property, creating privacy while allowing the architecture to remain connected to the landscape.

Expansive lawns sit alongside mature planting and established trees. A woodland walk follows the perimeter, while two natural wildlife ponds and a separate fish pond introduce another dimension to the grounds.

A Hartley Botanic greenhouse and garden room provide further opportunities for gardening, relaxation or creative use.

Extensive driveway parking sits securely behind the electric entrance gates.

There is also potential, subject to the necessary permissions and consents, to explore secondary access and additional garaging from the adjoining lane.

INTELLIGENT LIVING

Technology has been integrated throughout the house to complement rather than dominate its architecture.

Rako and MiBoxer systems provide intelligent lighting control through wall-mounted and app-based interfaces, while dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting enhances the grounds after dark.

Security includes ADT remote monitoring and Hik-Connect camera surveillance.

Two Vaillant combination boilers serve the three levels of accommodation, complemented by high-performance double glazing.

GRASSCROFT & SADDLEWORTH

Beech Lane is one of Grasscroft’s most established residential addresses, combining privacy and a semi-rural atmosphere with convenient access to the surrounding Saddleworth villages.

The Pennine landscape forms an integral part of life here, yet Manchester and the wider transport network remain readily accessible.

For buyers seeking substantial contemporary architecture without giving up countryside, privacy or connectivity, this is a particularly compelling setting.

A HOME THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPERIENCED

Photography communicates the architecture. The floorplan demonstrates the scale. But neither fully captures the experience of standing within the three-storey atrium, looking across the gardens towards the Pennines, or discovering an entire lower level devoted to wellness and leisure.

With more than 5,100 sq ft of accommodation, almost an acre of grounds and exceptional flexibility for family and multi-generational living, this is a home with a character entirely of its own.
