Located in Oldham, Greater Manchester, this vacation home is a charming converted barn dating back to the 17th century. Situated amongst the Saddleworth Hills, guests can enjoy stunning views of the countryside and Manchester. The property features one large bedroom with a fitted bath, an open plan kitchen diner, and a comfortable lounge with a large sofa. There is also a small terrace outside the barn and a 100m2 garden with a patio set, perfect for relaxing in the summer sun.
Guests staying at Shiloh Farm can explore the local footpaths and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the Peak District National Park. The village center of Delph is a 30-minute walk away, offering a variety of pubs and restaurants serving traditional English fish and chips, Tapas, and Indian cuisine. The Roebuck pub, just 10 minutes away, provides home-cooked food and stunning views of Oldham and Manchester on clear days.
While a car is recommended to explore the area, there are public footpaths and quiet lanes ideal for walking and cycling. The nearest public transport is about a mile away, with 4 trams an hour into Manchester City Center from the Metrolink station. Uppermill, a 10-minute drive from the property, offers cafes, bars, restaurants, museums, and scenic walks for visitors to enjoy. Please note that the barn may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility due to steps at the front door and garden access.
