Set within generous grounds and enjoying easy access to Tittesworth Reservoir, the market towns of Leek and Buxton, and an abundance of countryside walks, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of significant potential in a highly sought-after location.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Occupying an enviable position on the edge of the iconic Roaches, Lynken Rise is a substantial detached stone-built residence set within generous grounds and enjoying a wonderful semi-rural setting amidst some of the Staffordshire Moorlands' most spectacular countryside.

Constructed by the current owners during the 1980s, the property has been a much-loved family home for many years and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to undertake a programme of modernisation and improvement. Offering extensive and versatile accommodation, together with an annex and a range of outbuildings, the property provides all the ingredients required to create an exceptional family home in a highly sought-after location.

The accommodation is entered via a spacious entrance hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the property. The main reception space comprises a lounge and dining room featuring a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and inviting environment for family life and entertaining alike. To the rear, the breakfast kitchen is fitted with an oil-fired Rayburn, which also supplies the property's hot water, providing a traditional focal point to the home.

An inner hallway to the side of the property gives access to a boiler room, downstairs WC and a practical boot room, which in turn opens onto the rear garden. To the front elevation, a pleasant conservatory enjoys attractive views over the surrounding area and offers an ideal space in which to relax and unwind.

Adding further versatility is the adjoining pool room, accessed from the lounge. Originally constructed to house an indoor swimming pool, complete with shower and WC facilities, the pool remains in situ beneath the current flooring and the room has been repurposed in recent years as a useful games and recreation space.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A space saver staircase rises from the landing to the second floor, where you will find two spacious attic rooms and a WC. The original staircase serving the second floor from Bedroom Two has been closed off but could potentially be reinstated, subject to any necessary approvals, creating access more suitable for modern regulations and allowing the attic rooms to be utilised as bedrooms. This would provide the property with the potential to become a substantial five-bedroom family home.

Externally, Lynken Rise occupies an excellent-sized plot with extensive parking and a wealth of useful outbuildings. A detached double garage is complemented by a large vehicle store and workshop, offering superb storage and workspace for hobbyists, tradespeople or those with vehicle interests.

Positioned to the side of the property is a self-contained annex requiring improvement, but offering excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or possible holiday letting opportunities. The accommodation currently comprises a kitchen, lounge, double bedroom and bathroom.

The driveway provides extensive off-road parking for numerous vehicles, whilst to the rear a private lawned garden offers a peaceful outdoor space.

The location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attributes. Situated within easy reach of the Roaches and Tittesworth Reservoir, the property enjoys immediate access to an abundance of walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits. A popular country pub serving home-cooked food and a selection of drinks is located just a short distance away, whilst the market towns of Leek and Buxton provide an excellent range of amenities, schools, shops and leisure facilities.

Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a property of such scale, versatility and potential in such a remarkable setting. Lynken Rise offers the chance to create a truly outstanding family home tailored to modern living whilst enjoying one of the Staffordshire Moorlands' most desirable locations.

Location - Upper Hulme is a charming hamlet set within the stunning Staffordshire Moorlands, enjoying an enviable position at the foot of The Roaches, one of the area's most iconic natural landmarks. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, the village offers excellent opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with the nearby Three Shires Head and Tittesworth Reservoir providing further recreational attractions.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Upper Hulme is conveniently located just a short drive from the market town of Leek, which offers a comprehensive range of shops, supermarkets, cafes, schools and leisure facilities. The spa town of Buxton is also within easy reach, while good road connections provide access to Stoke-on-Trent, Macclesfield, Manchester and the wider Midlands region.

Combining spectacular scenery with convenient access to amenities and well-regarded schooling, Upper Hulme offers an exceptional countryside lifestyle in one of the Staffordshire Moorlands' most desirable locations.
