A property in Saddleworth which boasts its own private woodlands and comes with planning permission to extend has gone up for sale for £1.25m.

Inglenook home situated in Greenfield spans 1.2 acres and comes with its own woodland while being within close proximity of Dovestones Reservoir. 

The five-bedroom home dates back to the 1820s, functioning as a coach house in its heyday, though its outbuilding was converted and modernised in 2010.

The grand entrance hallway leads through to a "light and airy" lounge, with a feature cast iron log burning stove, as well as a dining room, kitchen and living space and stairs to the first floor which contains a cloak cupboard.

The kitchen has a central island unit with a breakfast bar, ample appliances including an under-counter fridge, a double Belfast sink and feature cast iron Aga.

The open plan space leads to another large reception room and a kitchenette.

A separate path leads to a private woodland area which provides a "distinct feeling of nature" with "unpaired views" of the Saddleworth countryside and even glimpses of the Pots and Pans monument.

There is ample gated parking and a detached double garage.

Inglenook even comes with planning permission for a loft conversion and rear dormer to create more space and the possibility of a self-contained annexe dwelling to the rear.
