Fernholme is an imposing double bay-fronted Edwardian residence occupying an elevated position above Sunny Bank. Originally a mill owner's house, built to exacting standards, this spacious property sits within a plot of around a quarter acre, in a beautiful, private, rural location, directly adjoining and overlooking farmland, boasting stunning long-range views, across the valley, toward the distant Hartshead Pike.
This impressive period home boasts approximately seventeen-hundred square feet of versatile accommodation; hard to find in modern properties. Replete with original features, high ceilings and generously proportioned rooms, the property includes a large entrance hall, and a staircase overlooked by an extraordinary, arched, stained glass window, plus five bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms, a large kitchen, a bathroom, a utility room, outbuildings, garage facilities and established gardens. Parking is available for multiple vehicles. Further parking might easily be created.
Offering the potential for further development, this is a rare opportunity, perhaps unique in the current market, to find a property of a rare size, in an exclusive and highly desirable location, ripe for improvement to the new owners' taste.
Viewings are available strictly by appointment.
