Affording panoramic views, this property would be ideal for someone with equestrian interests as it also comes with a detached stable block that has two stables and a hay barn. Higher Park is a picturesque little hamlet that dates back hundreds of years and was part of the original Crompton golf course where Sir Winston Churchill is rumoured to have played. Situated a short distance away from Shaw town centre with its variety of shops and new metro link into Manchester, and the M62 motorway connection is only 5 minutes by car at Milnrow.
The property comprises of entrance hall, family room with wood burner, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a beautiful dual aspect lounge (originally a shippon) whilst to the first floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Subject to planning permission this house offers possibilities in terms of extending and re designing, there is plenty of room to add a large conservatory to the rear that will have the most stunning views over local countryside and further a field. There is also the chance of converting the detached stable block to either a detached dwelling for a family member or a large office to run a business from home either way, subject to planning there is scope to alter this property to suit your familys needs.
Externally to the front there is a lawned garden area with borders full of shrubs plus an absolutely stunning view over open fields.
