Golden Spot – A Timeless Countryside Retreat

Steeped in history with links tracing back to King James I, Golden Spot is a charming semi-rural detached residence that effortlessly blends character with modern living. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the home enjoys breath-taking panoramic views stretching from Hartshead Pike through Cheshire, Manchester, and toward the rolling Pennine Hills. The current owners have tastefully enhanced and re-modelled the property, ensuring it offers a perfect move-in-ready family home.

Upon entering, a welcoming vestibule leads into the hallway, where exposed stonework immediately sets a tone of rustic elegance. The hallway provides access to the spacious lounge, a bright and inviting room benefiting from a triple aspect through its Mullion windows. A striking Inglenook fireplace, complete with a central log-burning stove, serves as a cosy focal point, making the space an ideal retreat even on the coldest winter nights.

Back through the hallway, the impressive kitchen/dining area awaits, designed for both entertaining and everyday family living. Well-appointed with an array of modern appliances, the space seamlessly extends onto a composite-decked balcony via bi-folding doors—perfect for enjoying spectacular sunsets year-round. A charming stable door leads to the side porch and boot room, providing a practical space to store muddy footwear after countryside walks.

A staircase from the kitchen descends to the lower ground floor, which offers three generously sized rooms with Mullion double-glazed windows. Spanning the depth of the home, this versatile space presents a blank canvas—ideal for a teenage retreat, bar, or a private cinema room.

Ascending to the first floor, three well-appointed double bedrooms showcase uninterrupted countryside views. The master suite features a Juliette balcony and a stylish four-piece En-Suite, while the second bedroom enjoys direct access to the shower room.

Externally, Golden Spot is accessed via a private gated road, with ample parking available at the front. The thoughtfully landscaped gardens extend to the front, side, and rear, with a forecourt leading to generous lawned areas.

For those with equestrian interests, the property also boasts a stable block, including two 12ft x 12ft stables, a haystore, and an adjacent workshop—all benefiting from power and lighting. The current owner holds an agreement to rent nearby grazing fields, ensuring ample space for horses.

This idyllic location offers exceptional walking routes right on the doorstep, providing stunning views that evolve beautifully with the seasons. Rich in wildlife and tranquility, Golden Spot enjoys a perfect balance of rural charm while remaining just a short drive from everyday amenities in Lees and Mossley. According to historic records, the residence is said to have hosted King James I during his hunting expeditions, dating the home back over 400 years.
