Rydal Villas is a four bedroom, semi-detached, stone house - close to the centre of Uppermill - that was built in the Edwardian era. Typical for this period are the high ceilings and sizeable windows, which give the house a feeling of light and space. Whilst the skilfully restored interior woodwork - from the skirting boards to the doors and in-built cupboards - give a sense of quality workmanship throughout. Owned - and lovingly maintained to a high standard - by the same family over a number of decades, the house spans two floors with generous sized rooms on both levels and is ideal for a growing family; this is a rare opportunity to acquire a forever family home. The entrance hallway retains the original staircase/panelling, which has been restored to highlight the distinctive wood grain. Here, as throughout the ground floor, the high ceilings give a sense of spaciousness. Internal doors are all restored originals, leading at the front to the dining room with a large bay window and at the rear to the lounge looking out onto the courtyard style garden. The breakfast room and gallery kitchen are also located at the rear of the house with a view to the garden. Three of the bedrooms on the first floor are impressive doubles and the single room has a fitted bedframe and cupboards. A family bathroom serves the four bedrooms. From the landing itself, there is a loft hatch to a sizeable attic. To the front of the house there is a forecourt garden space, whilst to the rear there is a paved patio and small secluded garden plus raised seating space and stone built outside wc. There are two storage sheds attached to the single garage which offers off street parking for one car. Within easy walking distance of the house are the primary school, transport links and local amenities, whilst Saddleworth Secondary school is located in the neighbouring village of Diggle. A wide range of independent shops, restaurants and cafes are also close by and are part of the appeal of Uppermill, which remains arguably Saddleworth's most desirable place to live.
