The Saddleworth Independent has teamed up with West Riding to bring you the latest from the local property market. View this stunning Dobcross home online here.
Tucked away in a peaceful semi-rural hamlet in Dobcross, just a short walk from the iconic Pots & Pans monument, sits a truly rare find- Running Hill House.
This beautifully presented three-bedroom character cottage, steeped in charm, comes with the unique bonus of a separate two-bedroom property, Peak Cottage, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living or as a lucrative holiday let.
From the moment you step through the door of Running Hill House, the attention to detail is clear. A limestone-tiled hallway, complete with fitted storage and a stylish WC, leads into a generous lounge with Karndean flooring, mullion windows, exposed beams, and an ornate radiator. A multifuel stove, set in a striking stone fireplace, creates a warm focal point.
The separate dining room continues the character theme, with more exposed beams and a second attractive fireplace, providing a welcoming space for family meals and entertaining.
The kitchen is both practical and stylish, fitted with high-end Neff appliances, including integrated ovens, a coffee machine, fridge-freezer, wine fridge, and dishwasher, all set against sleek granite worktops. A well-equipped utility area provides further storage, along with a washing machine, dryer, and wine storage.
Upstairs, an oak staircase with glass balustrade leads to three thoughtfully designed bedrooms. Two feature fitted wardrobes and views across Saddleworth’s rolling hills. One-bedroom benefits from a fully tiled wet room ensuite, while the main bathroom features a luxurious sunken bath, separate rainwater head shower, and electric underfloor heating.
Outside, the property boasts a gravelled driveway with ample parking, a double garage fitted with a UV filtration system, a private rear courtyard, and a spacious, sun-filled lawn at the front—ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Peak Cottage sits adjacent and offers its own sense of seclusion and comfort. This two-bedroom cottage features a bright kitchen with Karndean flooring, a central island and wine fridge, and picturesque windows framing views of the surrounding countryside.
The lounge is full of character, with its own multifuel stove set in a stone fireplace, and bi-folding doors that open out to a generous stone patio and lawn. A fully tiled shower room with a rainwater head shower adds convenience on the ground floor.
Upstairs, two well-sized bedrooms are filled with natural light, thanks to mullion and Velux windows. A fully tiled bathroom with a rainwater head shower and Velux window completes the picture.
Together, Running Hill House and Peak Cottage offer a rare opportunity in one of Saddleworth’s most desirable locations. Whether you’re searching for an elegant family home, a base for extended family, or an investment with Airbnb potential, this is a property that ticks all the boxes.
