A Rare Piece of Shaw’s History – 6 Bedroom Period Residence in Moorfield Hamlet, High Crompton. Step into a home where history, charm, and timeless character blend seamlessly with generous proportions and versatile living. Nestled within the unique Moorfield Hamlet in High Crompton, this magnificent 6-bedroom stone-built cottage dates back to the late 1700s and is steeped in heritage. (Grade II) Constructed from handsome hammer-dressed stone and brimming with original features – including mullioned windows, decorative plasterwork, Minton tiled flooring, and a cobbled courtyard – this is a property that speaks to lovers of period architecture and those looking for a home with soul. The layout is as impressive as it is flexible. The main entrance, framed by stained glass doors, welcomes you into a grand hallway leading to two elegant reception rooms and a guest WC. From here, an inner hall draws you into the heart of the home – a character-filled kitchen and dining room with access to an additional staircase leading to a galleried landing above. Across the upper floor, you’ll find six well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms, arranged in a layout that could easily accommodate multi-generational living or even be adapted into two separate dwellings. A second lounge/bedroom links two further bedrooms, which share a stylish Jack and Jill bathroom. The principal suite boasts a beautiful en suite and charming front-facing views. Outside, the property enjoys a sense of privacy with mature trees and planting to the front garden, as well as a double garage and access to a picturesque cobbled courtyard. This is a home where character is felt in every corner – from the soaring ceilings to the period detailing – and every room offers grand proportions for those who appreciate space and style. Quietly tucked away yet close to excellent local schools including Crompton House, public transport links, and Shaw’s town centre amenities, this home is the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. A truly rare opportunity to own a distinctive part of Shaw’s heritage. Viewing is essential to appreciate the scale, flexibility, and beauty of this exceptional residence.
