Sett Stones
An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade II listed stone
property requiring updating in a premium Saddleworth location. Overlooking
Thurston Clough, Sett Stones farmhouse is nestled into the hillside offering
wonderful panoramic views while within close proximity of the pretty villages of
Dobcross and Delph.
Ground Floor
Set on three floors, this unusual property has
generously sized rooms all with open views of the
surrounding countryside offering plenty of scope to
create a stunning family home. Sett Stones is ideal
for the discerning purchaser wishing to make their
mark on a property and must be viewed to
appreciate the beauty of the rural location.

With its elevated hillside location giving panoramic
views across the whole of Saddleworth and its
many beauty spots, Grade II listed Sett Stones
farmhouse is sat in a most enviable position on the
border of Dobcross and Delph.
Dating back to 1779, this substantial stone-built
property overlooking Thurston Clough is a
landmark dwelling, which during the 1800’s was
used as a bakery and a public house.

Bedroom
10' x 12'3"
The unusual layout of rooms set out on three
floors with a staircase at each side of the property
is due to the fact that during its history the
property was once two separate houses built on
different levels.
Falling in love with the idyllic location and farreaching views from every window, the current
owner bought Sett Stones 35 years ago when it
was almost derelict.

Bedroom
11'4" x 12'3"
Over the years, the current owner undertook a
large-scale sympathetic restoration of the fibre of
the building using original materials. The roof was
replaced with traditional slate tiles; the windows
were restored with their stone mullions and two
significant stone feature fireplaces were brought
back to their original condition.
Throughout this time, the intention of the current
owner was always to preserve the building
externally and internally and keep it true to its
architectural period.

In recent years, the farmhouse has been rewired
throughout but internally now requires some
updating such as the replacement of bathroom and
kitchen fittings to bring it up to modern standards.
With generous room sizes laid out on three floors,
Sett Stones is an ideal family property with plenty of
space for growing children.
The ground floor has two almost identical sized
rooms currently used as a kitchen and dining room.
Upstairs on the first floor are two double bedrooms;
a large lounge with the benefit of elevated views
leading through to another similarly sized reception
room, which has staircase access to the top floor.
Along with the main bathroom, there are a further
two bedrooms on the second floor, one of which is
large enough to accommodate an en-suite bathroom.
This bedroom also has the advantage of having
windows to three sides giving a panoramic aspect of
the countryside and bringing in lots of natural light.
The property also benefits from a substantial cellar
accessed from outside and loft space that could be
easily converted into flexible living accommodation
such as a child’s playroom or office.
Backing onto open farmland at the rear, Sett Stones
has a well-positioned garden to the front and side,
which takes full advantage of the wonderful location.
There is also a large paddock opposite the property
and hard-standing area with parking space for several
cars.
For the discerning purchaser wishing to put their
mark on a property, Sett Stones is a rare find in
Saddleworth. It is ideally positioned within walking
distance of the villages of Delph and Dobcross and is
within the catchment area of their first class schools.
The property is superbly located for all the amenities
of Saddleworth and there are many countryside
walks on the doorstep. Greenfield station is just a
short drive away and the motorway network gives
accessibility to Manchester, Huddersfield and Leeds.
With the prestige of a listed property, Sett Stones
has the potential to be a wonderful family home with
all the advantages of the rural surroundings but
within close travelling distance of every modern
convenience.
