luxury contemporary houses for sale Oldham, United Kingdom

Dry Gap Barn is an exquisite, Grade II Listed, 3 bedroom detached country home in a stunning position and a highly sought after location, all set within a plot of 1.24 acres. Offering unique, bespoke architecture together with ample space both inside and out, this property even includes planning for further development too. With a further, separate workshop / home-office / utility space (which could easily become a self-contained annexe / guest suite), gorgeous gardens and grounds, ample parking space with EV charging and an extensive gated driveway entrance, this is truly an incredible family home. At the heart of Dry Gap Barn lies an awe-inspiring living space that perfectly captures the essence of this exceptional Grade II Listed conversion. Framed by an extraordinary medieval-style A-frame cruck structure, the magnificent, vaulted interior showcases a breath-taking network of hand-hewn oak trusses, principal rafters and substantial cross beams-each bearing the unique character and craftsmanship of centuries past. These remarkable timbers are not only a defining architectural feature but also a rare testament to traditional English barn construction, creating a dramatic centrepiece that is both historically significant and visually captivating. Soaring to the apex of the roof, the impressive frame creates an incredible sense of volume and openness, while carefully positioned rooflights bathe the space in natural light, accentuating the rich textures of the aged oak and original stonework. Complemented by traditional lime plaster walls. The result is an interior of exceptional scale, warmth and atmosphere. Thoughtfully restored and sensitively enhanced, the barn effortlessly marries its agricultural heritage with contemporary design. A striking mezzanine level overlooks the principal reception space, offering an elegant perspective of the spectacular roof structure, while bespoke architectural elements have been carefully introduced to complement, rather than compete with, the historic fabric of the building. The expansive open-plan living and entertaining space is both inviting and inspiring, with a contemporary wood-burning stove adding warmth and ambience beneath the soaring timbers. Every detail has been carefully considered to preserve the authenticity of this remarkable building whilst providing the comfort and sophistication expected of a modern country home. Dry Gap Barn is far more than a conversion; believed to be the last remaining cruck-framed barn in the North West of England it is clearly of special architectural interest in a national context (source Historic England), it is a rare opportunity to own an architectural masterpiece where history, craftsmanship and contemporary luxury exist in perfect harmony. Homes possessing such an exceptional and beautifully preserved timber frame are seldom offered to the market, making this a truly remarkable residence in Turn Village, one of Ramsbottom's most sought-after rural settings. Our Vendor's comments: I have loved the barn since I was a child, living across the lane. When the chance came up for us to convert it into a wonderful home we felt lucky to have the opportunity, our children have grown up in this magical setting. We chose eco-friendly sustainable options for the conversion of the barn & separate annexe; ground source heating, solar, thermal insulation & private water supply from a borehole. The barn is an absolute joy to live in with ambient constant temperature, thick stone walls & underfloor heating throughout both buildings. Cosy in the winter, cool in the heat of summer. We also carefully considered the gardens & land surrounding; rewilded the meadow which is now abundant in a huge variety of grasses & British wild meadow flowers including ox-eye daisies, everlasting sweetpeas & yellow rattle... it buzzes with biodiversity, the barn owl flying over is a regular sight. We have aimed for a naturalistic, low intervention garden to suit the barn's aesthetic. The barn & garden has uninterrupted far reaching views over Holcombe Hill, Peel tower & beyond, the sunsets are spectacular.

The Lodge is an exceptional executive residence enjoying remarkable privacy along a private track serving just two properties — a rare opportunity for those who value seclusion and uninterrupted countryside surroundings. Set off Woodhouse Lane in Shelley, this impressive home sits within a wonderfully private plot, enveloped by open fields and commanding outstanding far‑reaching views. Positioned within just over half an acre of beautifully maintained grounds, The Lodge combines space, tranquillity and exclusivity in equal measure.  The accommodation extends to 4,706 sq ft (inc garage), comprising a substantial five‑bedroom executive home with garaging and a superb one of a kind detached summer house — a perfect retreat for entertaining, relaxation, or use as a home office – an ideal work from home office retreat. This is a property that offers not only scale and quality, but a lifestyle defined by privacy, open countryside, and the luxury of expansive grounds. For buyers seeking a home that feels truly set apart, The Lodge delivers something genuinely special. When arriving at The Lodge automated gates open to reveal the grounds, and upon entering, it becomes instantly clear that this is a true sanctuary, perfectly tucked away and surrounded by open countryside. A covered oak‑framed storm porch provides an attractive and characterful welcome, leading into the reception hall — a notably spacious entrance that offers a superb first impression. This generous hallway sets the scene for the scale and quality found throughout the home, giving a wonderful sense of arrival. The property enjoys two reception rooms, each offering its own distinct atmosphere.  The sitting room is neatly positioned in a quieter corner of the house, creating a more intimate retreat. Bathed in natural light from windows to two aspects, it enjoys a peaceful outlook over the grounds and features a living flame gas fire, making it a cosy and inviting space during the winter months. In contrast, the living room is a truly impressive room — expansive, characterful, and designed to embrace the surrounding views. High ceilings and large windows flood the space with natural light, while a log burner provides a striking focal point, enhancing the room’s warmth and charm. At the heart of the home lies the exceptional living dining kitchen, complemented by a formal dining area. Designed and installed by the highly acclaimed KC Kitchens, this space showcases meticulous attention to detail and a refined, contemporary aesthetic.  Sleek modern cabinetry integrates appliances seamlessly, with careful ergonomic consideration given to the layout.  A stylish, on‑trend pantry offers a dedicated breakfast station, complete with sockets for a coffee machine and toaster.  The central island provides a sociable dining option as well as additional storage, making it both practical and elegant. Originally separate, the formal dining room has been thoughtfully opened into the kitchen — a superb upgrade made during the kitchen’s redesign.  Bi-fold doors from the sitting area lead out to the patio terrace at the rear and contribute to an abundance of natural light with additional floor to ceiling windows and a stable style door providing access to the garden.  This integration creates a more cohesive and sociable environment, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. A separate utility room offers further storage and a practical space for laundry and household items, keeping the main kitchen beautifully uncluttered. The ground floor also benefits from a bedroom with an en‑suite bathroom, providing an ideal guest suite. This private arrangement ensures comfort and independence for visitors, making it a valuable addition to the home’s versatile layout. The first-floor hosts four further bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home office, offering a peaceful and productive workspace with views over the open countryside.  Each room enjoys its own character, but the principal suite is undoubtedly the showstopper — a truly luxurious retreat designed with exceptional attention to detail. This stunning main bedroom is thoughtfully arranged into three distinct areas: the bedroom, the dressing room, and the en‑suite bathroom.  The bedroom itself enjoys a beautiful aspect to the rear, with French doors opening onto a private terrace — an idyllic spot for morning coffee while admiring the uninterrupted countryside views. The dressing room is a genuine ‘wow factor’. Bespoke cabinetry provides an abundance of beautifully crafted storage, leading into a dedicated dressing area complete with an elegant dressing table, refined seating, and glazed patio doors that enhance the sense of space and light.  This suite has been designed to feel indulgent, serene, and effortlessly functional. The en‑suite bathroom is equally impressive, finished with a luxury white suite and enjoying views to the rear. Together, these spaces form a master suite of exceptional quality — a private haven within the home. Two further bedrooms on this floor benefit from their own luxury en‑suite facilities, each offering generous proportions and excellent storage.  These rooms provide comfort and independence for family members or guests, reinforcing the home’s versatility and executive appeal. Beyond the main residence, The Lodge offers something genuinely extraordinary — a summer house that is far more than the typical garden retreat.  This is a space with its own identity, its own atmosphere, and its own sense of occasion.  It feels like a haven away from the home, a place to escape, unwind, entertain, or work in complete tranquillity. This remarkable building is inviting all year round, centred around a charming log burner that brings warmth and ambience through every season.  Whether hosting a dinner party and retiring here afterwards for drinks, conversation and relaxation, or simply enjoying a quiet evening with the fire glowing, the summer house offers a lifestyle that feels indulgent and deeply private. A self‑contained kitchenette adds practicality and convenience, allowing the space to function beautifully for entertaining or extended use.  It’s easy to imagine long summer evenings with the doors open to the countryside, or cosy winter nights with the log burner lit — a versatile, atmospheric space that enhances the property in a way few homes can offer. In addition, the summer house includes a separate gym, which provides excellent flexibility.  This room could easily serve as an alternative home office, creating a true “away‑from‑home” work sanctuary — a peaceful, detached environment ideal for focused working, creative thinking, or professional privacy. This entire building is a standout feature of The Lodge. It is special, unique, and unquestionably valuable — a rare addition that elevates the property’s lifestyle offering and provides exceptional versatility for modern living.  Whether used for entertaining, wellness, work, or relaxation, the summer house is a space that enriches daily life and sets The Lodge apart as a home of genuine distinction. The Lodge sits within a generous plot of just over half an acre, surrounded by perfectly manicured, landscaped gardens that blend effortlessly into the rolling open countryside beyond.  The result is a setting of remarkable tranquillity, where every window from the rear aspect frames a view of green hills, and every outdoor space feels private, peaceful and beautifully connected to nature. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed to complement the home, offering expansive lawns, mature planting and multiple areas to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the serenity of the surroundings.  The sense of space is exceptional, and the privacy — enhanced by the property’s position along a private lane — is one of its most defining features. Practicality is equally well catered for. The Lodge benefits from an integrated double garage, accessible internally from the house, providing secure parking and excellent storage.  In addition, the property offers a generous amount of gated driveway parking, comfortably accommodating several vehicles and ensuring convenience for both residents and guests. Together, the gardens, garaging and extensive parking complete the picture of a home that is not only architecturally impressive and beautifully appointed, but also perfectly situated within its landscape — a rare sanctuary offering space, privacy and an exceptional lifestyle.
