SEE THE VIDEO TOUR FOR THIS HOME

A Rich History, Beautifully Reimagined

Treetops House is a one-of-a-kind residence that seamlessly blends 18th-century character with high-end contemporary living. Originally three cottages dating back to 1755, the property has undergone a meticulous six-year transformation, reimagined and rebuilt from its four original walls into an exceptional five-bedroom, five-bathroom home.

The renovation, carried out with the help of a local architect and structural engineer, has future-proofed the property without compromising its heritage. Traditional features, such as stone mullion windows and original oak beams, sit effortlessly alongside sleek aluminium-framed double glazing, expansive bifold doors, and an open-plan layout.

The house is structurally underpinned and benefits from new concrete floors, full electrical rewiring, and an advanced plumbing system, including zoned wet underfloor heating across all three floors, served by separate manifolds. Two boilers and an extra-large water tank ensure faultless heating and hot water for a busy household, while an alarm system with eight CCTV cameras provides ultimate peace of mind.

Treetops House is a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke, high-end home in a truly idyllic rural setting, surrounded by stunning views. With its blend of historical character and flawless modern detail, it stands as a unique offering in one of Saddleworth’s most desirable locations.

Welcome to Treetops

Just a 10-minute walk from the pretty village centre of Delph in the Tame Valley, the house is nestled in a hamlet of just five homes. Electric sliding gates open to a sweeping driveway with a turning circle and a double garage, providing ample room for parking and securely storing cars and bikes.

From the front, peaceful rural views abound across the rolling hills. Come round to the rear garden to fully admire the handsome exterior, which fuses traditional stonework with those wonderfully wide bifold doors and aluminium windows, matching the glazed front door.

Exceptional Living Spaces

In the spacious hallway beyond, ceiling spots, white walls, and heated porcelain floor tiles combine to create a light-drenched and practical space for family life, which continues throughout the ground floor, except in the spot-lit living room on your right.

Instead, the living room pairs bold blue paintwork with a pale grey carpet for a cosy backdrop for movie nights and daytime play. Sleek, full-width mounted storage beneath the integrated television takes care of games, consoles, and toys to promote relaxation inside – or open up the wall-to-wall bifolds to unwind on the terrace.

Most of the ground floor is filled with a spectacular dining kitchen and entertaining area. Here, an expanse of picture windows and full-height bifold doors creates a seamless transition between home and garden, ideal for big family gatherings and all-day parties.

In the centre, the bespoke Diane Berry kitchen features a vast range of Alno Star white gloss cabinets with anthracite grey interiors. 20mm Silestone grey stellar quartz tops a large island, while the circular breakfast bar beneath stylish pendants is finished in 30mm quartz.

Other details include a Quooker flex boiling tap, an Air Uno ceiling extractor with motor ducting, and an electric pop-up socket. Miele appliances include two single ovens, two warming drawers, an induction hob and a dishwasher. A Neff mini microwave, and an extra-large 2.1m-high Siemens integrated fridge and matching integrated 2.1m freezer complete the kitchen area.

The living space centres around a striking dual-aspect gas fire and a point for a mounted television. Follow the clean architectural lines into the dining room – a more intimate space for mealtimes – and a chic, fully fitted bar adjoining a wine cellar fashioned from the original barrelled cold room.

Just off the kitchen, you’ll discover a matching utility room (with space and plumbing for two laundry appliances). As it also features a sink and direct access to the garden, as well as a storage room, it doubles as a place to take off boots and clean up after gardening, days out, or dog walks.

You can also reach the kitchen and living areas via a side hallway, decorated in beautiful blue-and-gold marble-effect wallpaper that complements the tiled floors. There’s lots of fitted storage here for coats and shoes, and access to a high-spec lavatory with fun flamingo décor.

Bonne Nuit

Return to the rear hall, admiring the pristine white open-riser staircase with its chrome and glass balustrade before exploring upstairs. Lined with a thick carpet, the landing soaks up natural light and comes with integrated storage, while a matching staircase meets the second floor.

Across the upper levels, discover five generous double bedrooms with vaulted spot-lit ceilings, oak beams, plenty of windows framing the leafy views, and integrated storage. Three benefit from walk-in dressing rooms, four are air-conditioned, and all are decorated with calming tones and neutral carpets. The bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with floor-to-ceiling tiling, mains-fed showers, and top-tier sanitaryware and fittings, while three also have full-size baths.

The primary bedroom is particularly impressive, from its dramatic beamed ceiling to an enormous, beautifully furnished walk-in dressing room and a marble-tiled bathroom with double vanity basins with LED mirrors above, a roll-top bath, and a walk-in rainfall shower.

Notable details on the second floor include a fabulous recessed wet-room rainfall shower belonging to bedroom three, and a similarly decorated office with fitted furniture, a lovely beamed ceiling, and a skylight.

Space to Breathe

Outside, the grounds extend to roughly four acres – a landscaped one-acre garden and three acres of land (featuring a 10m x 8m hardstanding area) dotted with mature trees, and boasting an open aspect to farmland and the surrounding countryside.

Open the impressive bifold doors, which reveal a full-width ceramic-tiled patio complete with a stainless-steel outdoor kitchen, leaving you no excuse not to host numerous barbecues and summer gatherings. Follow the terrace round to discover a private hot tub area, where a pebbled path draws you towards a tiered, elevated deck. Relax here on sun loungers or sweat it out in the purpose-built gym, which could also serve as a summerhouse or studio.

Beyond, the expansive lawn sets the scene for countless hours relaxing or playing with the children, hidden away from the world behind established screening trees. The raised flower and shrub beds are bursting with colour and texture, and while manageable, they offer endless delight for keen gardeners, who will love the large greenhouse with its century-old grapevine. Continue exploring to find seating areas that ensure there’s always a sunny spot for drinks and al fresco meals, or open the secure gate to step directly to the Tame Way walking trail.

Out & About

Set within the heart of the beautiful Saddleworth landscape, Treetops House enjoys a peaceful yet well-connected position just outside the picturesque village of Delph in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

The village offers an idyllic rural lifestyle, surrounded by dramatic moorland and open countryside, making it ideal for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. The village itself boasts traditional pubs, independent shops, cafés, and The Nook – a highly popular play café for kids.

The Millgate Arts Centre is a local cultural hub hosting theatre productions, film nights, and community events throughout the year. Be sure to visit on Whit Friday, when the country’s brass bands march down the high street as part of an annual competition.

For wider amenities, the nearby Uppermill and Saddleworth villages offer a range of options, including artisan bakeries, restaurants, and farmers’ markets. The Peak District National Park is also within easy reach for weekend adventures. Almost literally on your doorstep, The Tame Way is a long-distance walking trail that offers a 12-mile canal route and an 18-mile river route.

Getting Around

Within a 10-minute drive, you can pick up the Pink line at the Shaw and Crompton tram stop, which runs to East Didsbury and Rochdale. Greenfield train station is also just a short drive away and offers regular services to Manchester Piccadilly, York and Huddersfield, making it ideal for commuters. The A62 links directly to Oldham and Manchester, while the M62 motorway is within easy reach for those travelling further afield. Local bus services also run through the village, connecting residents to nearby Saddleworth villages and Oldham town centre.

Schools

Families are well served by a selection of highly regarded local schools. Just a 10-minute walk away, Swan Meadow Cottage Nursery is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. There’s an equally well-rated nursery in Delph, along with an Ofsted ‘Good’ primary and out-of-school care.

Nearby in Oldham, The Blue Coat CofE School offers ‘Outstanding’ secondary education, while St Damian’s RC Science College in Ashton-under-Lyne is equally well rated. For independent options, there are numerous choices in Oldham, including Hulme Grammar School and the Westwood schools. For further and higher education, Oldham College and the universities in Manchester are easily accessible.
