Gatehead Cottage, Gatehead Road, Delph, Saddleworth

Welcome to this exceptional Grade II-listed, four-bedroom semi-detached residence, dating back over 300 years and brimming with charm and character.  Nestled within a picturesque hamlet in Delph, this unique home offers a rare combination of period features and versatile living, complemented by a double garage, stables/workshop, and beautifully maintained gardens.  Two thoughtfully positioned patios provide ideal spaces for outdoor relaxation, capturing sunlight throughout the day and into the evening.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance with a tiled floor and a conveniently located WC.  This leads into a light-filled hallway, where an elegant staircase and an internal feature window wall create a wonderful sense of openness, allowing natural light to flow through from the lounge.

The lounge is rich in character, featuring traditional mullioned windows, exposed beams, and a striking open fire, perfect for cosy evenings.  From the hallway, you are led into the charming country kitchen, thoughtfully fitted with an integrated electric hob, double oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge freezer, alongside a classic Belfast sink.  A rustic barn door provides access to the side of the property, enhancing both practicality and charm.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, another beautifully appointed space with exposed beams and mullioned windows.  Of particular note is the distinctive door, incorporating reclaimed glass from a historic building, set within original timber surrounds, an exquisite detail that further enhances the home’s rich heritage.

Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms.  Two enjoy far-reaching views across the stunning Saddleworth countryside, while the others overlook the peaceful hamlet setting, and one is currently being used as a home office.  Additional features include built-in storage in two bedrooms and a unique mezzanine level in one room, providing access to the loft space.

This remarkable home must be viewed to be fully appreciated.  To arrange your viewing and take the first step towards making this character-filled property your own, please contact West Riding on 01457 819181.
