5 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Gillbent Road, Cheadle Hulme, SK8

This beautifully presented 1930s home has been thoughtfully updated while retaining a wealth of original character. With only two owners since being built, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both period features and modern comfort in a wonderful family setting.

To the front, a smart driveway recently laid with a paving surround provides parking for 4–5 cars, adding excellent practicality to the home.

The heart of the house is the recently fitted living kitchen (installed May this year), a stylish open-plan space designed for modern living. There’s room for a sofa, dining table and island, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a full range of high-quality AEG appliances, including an induction hob, oven, combi microwave, dishwasher, wine fridge and 70/30 fridge freezer. A composite worktop with matching splashback, soft-closing cupboards, fitted bin storage and a sink overlooking the garden complete the space. Two skylights flood the room with natural light, while Karndean flooring flows through to the adjoining utility room.

The utility provides additional practicality with free-standing appliances, a further sink, a stable door to the side of the house, and access to the integral single garage with manual door. Cleverly designed hooks create a perfect cloakroom space, while spotlights, contemporary lighting, and a Victorian-style cast iron radiator in the living kitchen adds style and character.

The original 1930s hallway features wood flooring, a plate rack and a beautiful leaded window, alongside a downstairs WC. To the right of the hall sits a welcoming living room with bay window and leaded windows, while to the rear is a dining room with built-in shelving and French doors that open onto the patio and garden. Original internal doors run throughout the home, enhancing its charm.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a versatile single room. To the left of the stairs are two doubles: one at the front with laminate wood-look flooring and a bright, spacious feel, and one at the rear with garden views. To the right sits the elegant bathroom, fitted with a bath, rain-head shower, full tiling and a large obscured-glass window. The rear bedroom is generously sized with a large window, original working fireplace, picture rails and stylish décor. At the front, the principal bedroom enjoys a bay window and original wood flooring, while the fifth bedroom is currently used as a home office.

Outside, the home opens to a beautiful wide garden, filled with sunlight and planted beautifully including an apple tree. A cabin with covered seating and pizza oven creates the perfect entertaining space, alongside a stone terrace, flower beds, wooden sleeper planters, an additional shed and an outbuilding with a window. To the side, there is a further patio area, outdoor tap, electric supply, lighting, side access gate and neat beech hedging.

This is an exceptional family home in a highly convenient location. It sits within catchment for Thorn Grove Primary School and Cheadle Hulme High School and Sixth Form, offers easy access to the bypass and motorway network, and is close to an excellent range of local amenities.
