2 Manorhouse Farm

About this property

Newhey 1.3 miles. 2 Manor House Farm, a pleasing single-storey house near Newhey, Greater Manchester. Offering proximity to the Peak District, local amenities and a reservoir, this abode also boasts underfloor heating making it a lovely base for families and friends exploring the countryside in Greater Manchester. Built from weathered stone, this beautifully converted barn sits within a small, quiet hamlet, with open countryside stretching out in every direction. A reservoir lies just beyond the property, and parking is available right outside, so you can arrive, step out of the car and immediately take in the stillness of the setting. Step through the patio doors and into the kitchen, where the first thing you notice is the gentle warmth beneath your feet from the underfloor heating.

The space feels open and welcoming, with streamlined units, integrated appliances and a tiled floor that grounds the room. At the centre, a generous island invites slow breakfasts and shared meals, thoughtfully finished with a pop‑up charger to keep everyday essentials close at hand. From here, the house opens into its living spaces. The sitting room is defined by exposed beams overhead and soft carpeting underfoot. Three deep sofas offer plenty of space to stretch out, whether you’re settling in for an evening in front of the TV or unwinding after a long walk through the surrounding countryside. Tucked away nearby, a small snug provides a quieter retreat, ideal for reading, reflection, or simply enjoying a moment of calm.

The bedrooms continue the blend of character and comfort. In the master bedroom, a striking stone feature wall forms a natural backdrop to the king-size bed, creating a space that feels grounded and restful. The second bedroom offers a double bed, while the third is arranged with two singles, making the layout well-suited to families or groups sharing the stay. Thoughtful storage throughout keeps each room feeling clear and unhurried. The bathroom is a generous, well-considered space, finished with a walk-in shower, perfect for rinsing off after days spent outdoors. Outside, the patio is furnished for easy, unhurried time in the open air.

Sit with a morning coffee, linger over an evening drink, or simply watch the light shift across the countryside. With walking routes weaving through the landscape, a nearby reservoir and fishery to explore, and a welcoming pub just a short downhill stroll away, this is a place that naturally draws you outdoors, and just as easily invites you back in again. For family days out, step inside the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester and wander through interactive galleries where children can experiment with hands‑on science exhibits, climb aboard historic trains and aircraft, and explore spaces designed to make learning feel playful and engaging for all ages.

For slower countryside escapes, take a walk around Hollingworth Lake, following the broad waterside paths that circle the reservoir, passing picnic spots, sailing boats and open grassy areas before drifting into the nearby village for cafés and traditional pubs. For bigger landscapes shared with friends, lace up your hiking shoes for Piethorne Valley, where well‑defined trails weave between a chain of reservoirs, climb gently onto open moorland with wide views, and reveal traces of old stone dams and industrial history woven into the hills. 2 Manor House Farm is an inviting base for unhurried exploration, whether your days are shaped by city discoveries, waterside walks or wide‑open countryside.
