Description
This impressive five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached home offers an excellent combination of modern style, flexible accommodation and family-friendly practicality across a spacious and thoughtfully planned layout.
The property features two generous reception rooms with attractive laminate flooring and decorative ceilings, while an elegant log burner creates a warm and inviting focal point within the lounge. There is also a separate study, providing an ideal space for working from home.
At the heart of the property is the contemporary kitchen, complete with an integrated oven and hob, sleek worktops, plentiful cabinetry and direct access to the garden, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Extended in 2018, the property now benefits from a spacious ground-floor bedroom with an adjoining wet room and its own separate entrace. This versatile addition provides wheelchair accessible ground-floor living and could be particularly well suited to a multi-generational family, an elderly or disabled relative seeking greater independence, visiting guests or those requiring a combination of downstairs and upstairs accommodation. The separate access may also offer potential for a home business opportunity, subject to any necessary permissions or consents.
Large windows, skylights and French or double doors allow natural light to flow throughout the home, enhancing its bright, open and welcoming feel. A separate downstairs guest WC provides further convenience.
Energy efficiency is another key benefit, with 19 solar panels installed on the roof, helping to support more sustainable living and reduce running costs. Externally, the property offers a spacious driveway and garage, providing secure off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
The beautifully landscaped gardens are a major highlight, featuring mature planting, lush lawns, colourful flower beds and well-maintained patio areas, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the picturesque countryside views. Arched windows and decorative brickwork add further character and kerb appeal.
Every aspect of this impressive home has been carefully considered to provide comfort, accessibility, practicality and style, making it an exceptional choice for modern family living in a peaceful rural setting.
A note from the owner….
This has been a wonderful family home, perfect for raising our children and our grandchildren, with its proximity to good schools, lots of green spaces and the opportunity for our children to play outside safely. The upstairs bedrooms at the back of the house offer great views of farmland, the outskirts of Manchester and even the Pennines. We love watching a panorama of numerous firework displays on November 5th and New Year's Eve. It is a quiet, peaceful area with great neighbours. In recent years, as disability has progressed, we have adapted the house perfectly to suit our needs.
