Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a charming three-bedroom detached home set within approximately 2.9 acres of idyllic farmland, offering the perfect blend of countryside living with convenient access to Manchester and surrounding areas.
Tucked away in the peaceful and secluded setting of Irlam Moss, Hope Cottage is a beautifully maintained rural property ideal for those seeking space, privacy, and a slower pace of life. Surrounded by open fields and farmland, the home enjoys stunning panoramic views and a true sense of escape.
Internally, the accommodation comprises:
A welcoming dining kitchen fitted with a range of integrated appliances, ideal for family living and entertaining
A bright and airy conservatory that opens out to scenic countryside views
A well-proportioned lounge, perfect for cosy evenings
Three bedrooms to the first floor, all with fitted robes for excellent storage
A modern family bathroom
Externally, the property is just as impressive, featuring:
A private pond, adding charm and character
Ample parking for multiple vehicles
A versatile garage/workshop, ideal for storage, hobbies, or conversion (subject to permissions)
Expansive 2.9-acre grounds, ideal for equestrian use, smallholding potential, or simply enjoying the outdoors
Planning permission for a change of use
Set along a quiet rural lane, Hope Cottage offers a sense of total privacy while still being within easy reach of Irlam, Cadishead, and the wider Manchester network, including train links and major road routes.
This is a truly unique opportunity – properties in this location and with this amount of land are seldom available. Early viewing is highly recommended
