Canal View, Littleborough, OL15

Adamsons Barton Kendal are privileged to present to the market this truly exceptional character home, offering a wonderful lifestyle surrounded by nature and countryside, with sensational views across the South Pennine Hills. Set within the highly regarded Summit Village, close to the Yorkshire border, this is a location that is incredibly difficult to replicate.

Set on Canal View, the location is quite simply the standout feature. The River Roch runs through the plot, whilst the Rochdale Canal is literally on the doorstep. In fact, you can walk to the bottom of the garden and step straight onto the canal towpath, with miles of peaceful countryside and beautiful walking routes including Pennine Way, waiting to be explored.

Tucked away amongst nature, the setting offers an incredible sense of peace and privacy. It is the sort of place where you can step outside, leave the pace of everyday life behind and enjoy the outdoors from your own doorstep, with the river, canal and surrounding countryside becoming part of everyday life.

Yet despite this wonderfully secluded feel, Littleborough village is only around a 20-minute walk away, offering a great choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The village railway station provides links towards both Manchester and Leeds city centres, whilst motorway connections are also within easy reach.

It is this combination of countryside and village life that makes the position so special. You really can enjoy a rural lifestyle without feeling cut off.

The property itself is equally distinctive. Traditionally built using 19th-century stone, including materials from an old mill, it is a home full of character and charm, complemented by attractive dry-stone walling to the boundaries. From the moment you arrive, there is an undeniable wow factor, with beautiful kerb appeal and a wonderfully established setting.

The wrap-around plot is exceptional, beautifully maintained and offering an abundance of garden space. There is room for family life to unfold naturally, whether that means children enjoying the outdoors, entertaining friends and family, gardening, or simply finding a quiet spot to sit and take in the views and listen to the river.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged over three floors, providing a versatile and characterful family home.

An entrance porch leads into a spacious hallway, with the main living accommodation positioned towards the rear. A generous open-plan living area currently incorporates a lounge and dining space, whilst the large conservatory provides a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the property's spectacular outlook throughout the seasons. A traditional fitted kitchen completes the main living accommodation.

The first floor provides a generous principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe area and en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom.

The third floor adds excellent versatility and is currently used as a guest suite, winter lounge and home office, complete with its own shower room — an ideal space for guests, older children, working from home or simply retreating to a quieter part of the house.
For families, the area also benefits from well-regarded local schooling including Stansfield Hall Church of England , Walsden St Peter's Church of England and Wardle High School.

Ultimately, this is a home that offers much more than its accommodation. It offers a way of life.

A place where countryside walks begin at the bottom of the garden, where the canal is part of your everyday surroundings, where the river runs through the grounds and where the views change with the seasons. A place where children can grow up with nature on the doorstep, weekends can be spent exploring the surrounding countryside and evenings can be enjoyed in complete peace, yet the village and its amenities remain within walking distance.
