A Unique Find

Welcome to Ashbourne Grove – a peaceful, tree-lined street across the road from Stand Golf Club and a 10-minute stroll from Metrolink services and Whitefield’s varied town centre.  

Number 36 has been meticulously renovated, offering generous living spaces throughout. From its cosy lounges with log burners to spacious bedrooms and a fabulous open-plan kitchen with French doors opening onto a sunny, landscaped garden, this home combines comfort with style.

Set behind a large block-paved driveway enclosed by low brick walls and neat hedging, the house stands out with its warm red brickwork, mock-timber gables, dormer windows, and grey frames to match the entrance. There’s more parking in the integral garage, which features a double electric garage door at the front and leads through to a single electric garage door at the back with access to the garden.

First Impressions

Step through the elegant, traditional-style front entrance into a useful porch for removing coats and shoes. Ahead, a contemporary glazed door framed by privacy glass opens into a light and spacious hallway, where white coved walls meet glossy marble floor tiles that repeat throughout the ground floor, except in the two front rooms. Lit by a modern chandelier, the hallway features in-built storage and a wide staircase with a thick grey carpet rising to the first floor.

To the left and right, you’ll discover two large receptions with matching bay windows beneath sweeping archways. Designer flat panel radiators and wood-burning stoves warm the rooms, which are illuminated by central chandelier fittings. The lounge on the left features a plush cream carpet, calming two-tone décor, and a statement stone mantelpiece. In the family room, high-quality laminate flooring creates a practical space for children and animals. 

Modern Luxury

The stunning marble tiles in the hallway continue into the ground-floor bathroom, including on the walls, creating a hotel-style backdrop for a walk-in rainfall shower, stylish modern sanitaryware, built-in storage and an LED mirror. 

In the snug, beautiful white wall panels to match the integrated cupboards set a sophisticated tone. This leads into a fully fitted, spot-lit prep or spice kitchen overlooking the garden through a huge window. While this space is excellent for party prep or baking while keeping the main kitchen clean, it could also be used as a full-sized laundry room, incorporating the snug into the main kitchen if desired. 

Wine & Dine

The stunning open-plan living and dining kitchen fills the rest of the ground floor and opens via dual French doors onto the carefully designed and maintained garden. In the centre, you have an enormous marble-topped island with a retractable breakfast bar for the whole family to gather around, along with a separate dining space beneath the chandelier.

Meanwhile, ceiling spots and stylish pendants further brighten a fabulous range of sleek black-and-white cabinetry, while a chic electric fireplace and vertical designer radiators ensure a cosy mealtime atmosphere. Integrated features and new Bosch appliances include a boiling water tap, a hob with a feature extractor above, a microwave, three ovens, a warming drawer, and two large fridge freezers. There’s also a Neff integrated dishwasher and a built-in wine cooler. 

On the First Floor

Upstairs, the deep grey carpet runs across the landing into three double bedrooms at one end. These are warmed by designer radiators, decorated in relaxing neutral tones, and brightened by large windows with Venetian blinds and modern light fittings. One of the bedrooms also benefits from fitted wardrobes. 

Lined with high-end monochromatic tiles, the family bathroom contains a bath with Victorian-style taps and a handheld shower, a close-coupled toilet, a grey vanity basin unit to match the bath panelling, and a flat-panel heated towel rail.

On the other end of the landing, you’ll discover a characterful master suite complete with a beamed ceiling, full-height matt-finish wardrobes, a dressing room lit by a dormer window, and a fully tiled three-piece en suite boasting a walk-in rainfall shower and a designer radiator. 

Retreat Outside 

Open the French doors from the kitchen to step onto an extensive tiled terrace running along the width of the house. Here, there’s lots of space for lounging or enjoying al fresco meals and drinks, as well as setting up a barbecue. 

To your left, the artificial lawn offers a hardwearing play space for children next to a natural lawn framed by gravelled areas, raised stone and sleeper-edged flower borders, tall fences, neat hedges, and mature trees. Overall, it feels very peaceful and private. 

In the corner, you’ll find a fully insulated summerhouse with power and lighting – an excellent home gym, gaming den, studio, or office. However, behind the garage, you’ll discover another room, accessed by exterior French doors, with numerous potential uses, including as an office or treatment space.
