Property for sale Manchester: stately £1.65m former mill-owner’s home with garden studio and sensational views

This amazing character property has been so beloved by its owners that only two families have lived there since it was built in the 1920s.

Nestled behind the Greenbooth reservoir, with terrific views over the water, this beautiful detached home is set over three levels and is situated in the lovely village of Norden, near Rochdale.

The property was built in 1929 by the Barlow family, the owners of Rainshore Mill.

It has been lovingly restored by the current homeowners, who bought it in 2010 and have retained original features such as parquet floors and striking stained glass windows in the hallway.

With five double bedrooms, three reception rooms, three bathrooms and 1.25 acres of land, it has all the space any family could ever need. But if that’s not enough, there is a fabulous annexe with living space, bathroom and gym in the garden.

There’s also a wonderful paved entertaining space in the garden and a triple garage on the gated driveway.
