Inside the dream Grand Designs-style home in Greater Manchester surrounded by stunning countryside views

Those who wish to one day escape the hussle and bussle of city life would likely consider this property to be their dream home. Nestled in the Greater Manchester countryside, this three-bed rural retreat is like something you could easily see featuring on Channel 4's Grand Designs.

Set in Ramsbottom on the outskirts of Bury, the modern newly-built barn house sits on an elevated position and boasts unrivalled views overlooking the market town and the open moorland of Holcombe Hill.

Great Meadow Barn offers the very best of both town and country life, as it gives the utmost privacy with no neighbours for miles, but with the benefit of still being within a short 10 minute walk to the town centre and all its amenities.

This unique home has just been added to Zoopla and is accepting offers over £900,000. As a 'one-off' home in a secluded location, it is no surprise that this property would set you back much more than the average house price of in Ramsbottom.

Built in 2020, the house has an attractive panelled wood exterior complete with contemporary exposed beams. It sits on a large plot of more than five acres and is accessed via a sweeping country driveway.
