Here is a superb opportunity to purchase a unique and
individual Edwardian semi-detached bungalow situated in
the exclusive and private location of Racefield Hamlet, close
to the well regarded idyllic Healds Green area of
Chadderton Heights. Racefield Hamlet provides quiet and
tranquil countryside style living whilst being a stone's throw
away from all the necessary local amenities including well
regarded schools, shops and motorway connections.
The property was built circa 1903 and was initially part of a
hospital before being transformed into the wonderful
residence it is today, comprising of five individually designed
houses and six luxury apartments. The current occupiers
have lived in the property for 30 years and have lovingly
maintained and modernised it throughout their residence.
Upon approaching the property there is a wonderful stone
stepped pillared entrance that leads into the main hall. To

lounge/sitting room and a lovely spacious dining room
providing the perfect ambience and setting for a warming
meal with your loved ones. Additionally there is a double
garage with electric doors to the front and the rear.
To the right of the main hall there are four small steps
which lead to the bedrooms, all four of which are double
bedrooms. The master suite has a lovely modern feel to it
as well as having its own en suite bathroom which boasts a
contemporary five piece suite, there are a further three
bedrooms with the larger of the three, again, having its own
en suite shower room along with family bathroom.
The hamlet itself is contained with a woodland area
spanning some 10 acres and the property is set in
approximately half an acre of garden area that are
maintained to a fabulously high standard, keeping the
property and its surroundings in the best of order. There is

HISTORICAL NOTES:
This is a former late Victorian/ Edwardian brick built
isolation hospital, hence the country location to the west of
the urban areas, away from their smoke and pollution, and
providing light and exercise in the sheltered internal area,
where beds could be rolled out in good weather.
The wards have been converted to provide luxury modern
accommodation.
Streetbridge is a reference to Roman occupation of the
area, as “straight” roads were unusual in the so-called
“Dark Ages” after the Romans left Britain. Such roads were
called “street”, that is straight, so Streetbridge was where
the Roman road crossed the river Irk somewhere in the
area near here.
“Racefield” is a reference to early water powered cotton
mills which were situated along the Irk in the second half of
the 18c – The field of the “race”, that is the supply run off
the river for the mill’s water wheel.
