A stunning penthouse hidden in an unexpected part of Greater Manchester has come on the market with a price tag of £1,250,000. Found in amongst a cluster of ordinary looking homes, the million-pound penthouse is unrecognisable from the outside, yet inside it mirrors a home that you would most typically find nearer to the city centre.
But instead of a central location, owners of this home can look out towards views of the rolling countryside, as the modern four-bed apartment is situated in Birtle, a rural hamlet in Rochdale. Set amongst the Pennines, the average price of a home here is £186,525 - making the apartment an unlikely property in the area.
The luxury penthouse apartment spans three floors and is largely open-plan, designed with an 'upside down' layout. On the ground floor of the home leading off of an entrance hall is a gym and a cinema room, which leads out onto an outdoor patio area.

Up on the first floor are where the four bedrooms lie. Two of the bedrooms come with their own en-suites, and the third bedroom could be used as a small bedroom or a home office.
The master bedroom which stretches seven metres comes with an impressive walk-in wardrobe and a fancy dressing room. No expense has been spared with the en-suite which has been fitted with a glass vanity unit imported from Italy.
On this floor there is also a living area, which is currently being used as a reading room, as well as a 'butlers kitchen'. An outdoor terrace area leads off from the master bedroom and there is another patio area accessed from one of the double bedrooms.
Up another set of stairs is the second floor which holds the main hub of the home, which is largely open plan. The extensive kitchen, lounge and dining area found on the top floor is an ideal space for entertaining family and friends.
The kitchen comprises bespoke units and integrated appliances and offers unrivalled views of the surrounding countryside. Cleverly designed by the current owners, this floor is also home to a private bar and separate dining room with direct access to the main balcony.
The apartment also benefits from under floor heating and a beautiful matured communal landscaped garden with a central water feature. There is also a double garage and four parking spaces.
