" Built in the 1930's, the property has many interesting architectural features including six bay windows to the front of the house giving stunning views over the valley. Sat in almost an acre of mature landscaped grounds, the gardens, particularly to the rear, are breathtaking. Internally the property is well presented with an impressive bespoke solid oak dining kitchen. To appreciate the wealth of accommodation on offer and the beauty of this location, The Coppice is a property that really must be viewed.

This exceptional family home, which offers a wealth of versatile accommodation with generous room sizes, has been maintained to the highest standards of quality and presentation; however, there is still plenty of scope for a prospective buyer to put their stamp on the property.

The current owners have added two extensions creating a large kitchen diner and an extended lounge with two bedrooms and bathroom above.

"The Coppice has been our family home for more than forty years," explains the current owner. "We have updated the property significantly over this time and the modern extensions have kept faithful to the original architecture of the building. The house has been lovingly maintained with quality materials and the utmost attention to detail."

Originally a substantial family house, the property has been adapted in recent years to provide self-contained accommodation for an elderly family member with separate external access. This simple conversion on one side of the property has a lounge, kitchen diner and downstairs toilet with its own staircase leading to two bedrooms that open onto the main landing.

This self-contained accommodation within the property is ideal for teenagers or older relatives to have their own space or it could be used as premises to run a business from home. Alternatively, prospective purchasers could easily bring the property back into one house with the removal of a stud wall.

With an impressive façade featuring a total of six bay windows to the front of the property, The Coppice is a rectangular shaped house with four of the five double bedrooms benefiting from the stunning elevated views across the Saddleworth valley towards Dovestone Reservoir.

As you walk into the spacious entrance hall, you are immediately struck by the detail of the carved central staircase in mahogany stained wood. The staircase leads up to a lower landing with a wide bay window and window seat overlooking the rear garden and then sweeps to each side creating a feeling of symmetry and balance.

Downstairs, the reception rooms are all generously proportioned and immaculately presented with the added feature of attractive bay windows and decorative arches adding a focal point to each room.

Perhaps the most impressive room in the house is the huge dining room with its two bay windows being particularly impressive at over seven metres long making it the perfect space for entertaining. This room benefits from bespoke built-in storage comprising of cocktail cabinet, drinks fridge, glass cupboard and display shelving. The long window sections made of coloured glass blocks installed in the 1970's creating another focal point of interest.

The individually designed dining kitchen with bespoke hand crafted cabinets in solid medium oak and built-in Neff appliances makes a superb family kitchen with fabulous views over the garden. The linear design of the kitchen which features a Welsh dresser unit on one wall with television concealed inside, adds to the spacious feel offering plenty of room for a freestanding dining table. A sense of drama and contrast is created by the black Spanish granite work surfaces and ivory tiled floor adding to the luxurious feel of the kitchen.

The well-fitted utility room adjacent to the kitchen has the same quality fittings with a second sink and a drying space cleverly enclosed within a floor-to-ceiling oak cupboard.

"We put a lot of thought into the style and layout of the kitchen which we designed ourselves," says the current owner. "We wanted a high standard of carpentry for the cabinets which have been hand-made with dove-tail joints and the classic design adds to the timeless feel. We felt that the quality of the kitchen would speak for itself."

Upstairs, the master bedroom has the same standard of quality and detail in the wall of fitted storage in solid oak comprising of four double wardrobes with internal shelving and spot lighting. A further two double bedrooms also benefit from fitted cupboards creating plenty of storage and allowing the rooms to be clutter free.

Externally, The Coppice is surrounded by mature gardens on different levels that slope dramatically uphill at the back of the house giving amazing far-reaching views over the house and valley beyond. Sliding patio doors lead from the main lounge onto a stone patio area, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining.

The sheer scale of the rear garden as it rises above the house takes your breath away with a host of mature shrubs and towering species of tree including cedar, maple and Leylandi connected by a meandering stone path that is lit up at night to create a wonderful ambience.

"The gardens are probably the most stunning feature of the house," says the current owner. "They provide a wonderful environment for outdoor living and the most inspiring views of Saddleworth. The location here is perfect because it's such a peaceful, tranquil place but even though we are surrounded by stunning countryside we are still very close to all amenities."

A perfect family house in an ideal location, although The Coppice is beautifully presented, there is still plenty of scope for a prospective buyer to put their stamp on the property.

"We have had many happy years of family life living here and we'd like to think that another family will love it just as much as we have." "
