Set within a particularly private and enviable plot, this substantial 5 bedroom detached family home offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy and versatility. Approached through electronically operated security gates with video entry intercom, the property immediately enjoys a sense of exclusivity, with a generous gravelled driveway providing secure off-road parking for approximately seven vehicles, in addition to an integral double garage
The elevated position is a particularly special feature of the property. From within the house, on the terraces and throughout the gardens, there is an unusual degree of privacy, with no direct overlooking from any of your windows and no sense of being overlooked yourself. The result is a home that feels remarkably secluded, despite being a practical and convenient family property. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped with clean, considered lines and mature planting, creating an attractive setting that is both highly private and relatively easy to maintain.
Internally, the house is presented in immaculate condition, with a consistent sense of care and attention evident throughout. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and combines elegant reception spaces with excellent family practicality. A welcoming entrance hall features solid wooden flooring, two leaded-light double-glazed windows overlooking the front, a radiator and a cloakroom, with stairs rising to the first floor.
The formal drawing room is a beautifully proportioned reception space, featuring solid wooden flooring, dado rail, ornate cornicing and multiple radiators. A striking cast-iron feature gas fireplace with stone surround provides an attractive focal point, complemented by television provision and a set of leaded-light double-glazed French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Further leaded-light windows frame the room, allowing natural light to flow in while maintaining the property's characteristic sense of privacy.
At the heart of the home is the kitchen, combining traditional detailing with contemporary convenience. A comprehensive range of Shaker-style base and eye-level units is complemented by stone work surfaces, incorporating a Belfast-style one-and-a-half bowl sink with ornate mixer and separate cold tap. A classic Rangemaster Deluxe range cooker with five-ring gas hob and extractor provides an impressive centrepiece, while there is provision for a large American-style fridge freezer together with an integrated dishwasher and Siemens microwave. A stone-finished breakfast bar provides a natural place for informal dining and opens directly into the impressive dining and family room.
This superb open-plan space is designed perfectly around modern family life and entertaining, with solid wooden flooring, three radiators, dado rail and ornate cornicing. Beautiful leaded-light double-glazed French doors open onto the rear patio, complemented by further matching leaded-light windows and additional sets of French doors, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and the private gardens beyond. An inset brick-built fireplace with timber mantel and gas point adds warmth and character to this generous family space.
The practical accommodation is equally well considered. A particularly useful utility and boot room provides covered access between the front and rear of the property, making it exceptionally convenient for everyday family life, gardening and entertaining. Fitted with an extensive range of base and wall-mounted units, a one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, mixer and hose-style taps, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and further appliances, together with a wall-mounted Worcester Bosch boiler. Leaded-light windows to both front and rear and secure glazed doors make this a highly practical and versatile space, while the tiled flooring is ideally suited to its purpose.
The first-floor landing continues the property's traditional character. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, enjoying a beautiful leaded-light double-glazed window to the front with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards Winter Hill. Bespoke wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage, while dado rail, ornate cornicing and wall-light points add a refined finish. The luxurious en suite has been finished with fully tiled walls and floor and features a freestanding clawfoot bath, close-coupled WC and a large wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath. A backlit LED fitted mirror and shaver point add contemporary convenience, while the large walk-in double shower is fitted with an overhead raindrop showerhead. One heated towel rails and one radiator complete this beautifully appointed room.
Bedroom two, currently arranged as a guest bedroom, is another generous double room with fitted storage including three double wardrobes, two radiators and ornate cornicing. Its own en suite shower room is finished with fully tiled walls and floor and features a large walk-in double shower with curved protective glass screen and overhead raindrop showerhead, together with a backlit LED vanity mirror, heated towel rail, close-coupled WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage. A frosted leaded-light double-glazed window provides natural light while maintaining privacy. Bedroom three offers further excellent family accommodation, with a leaded-light double-glazed window overlooking the rear, radiator and two fitted double wardrobes, while bedroom four is similarly well equipped with two fitted double wardrobes, additional decorative shelving and further fitted storage. Ornate coving and cornicing add character, with the leaded-light double-glazed front window once again enjoying far-reaching views. Bedroom five provides considerable flexibility and would work equally well as a nursery, home office or study. A leaded-light double-glazed window to the front enjoys the property's elevated outlook, while a fitted double wardrobe and radiator complete the room. The family bathroom is generously proportioned and beautifully appointed, featuring two skylights, fully tiled walls and tiled flooring, one heated towel rail and one radiator, a large fitted linen cupboard providing excellent storage. A backlit LED vanity mirror sits above the pedestal wash hand basin, while a close-coupled WC and substantial corner bath with mixer tap and handheld shower attachment complete the suite.
Outside, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the house. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped over three levels, with attractive brick retaining walls, beautiful picket fencing and mature Laurel, selection of flowers and colourful established borders creating an exceptionally private setting. Generous areas of level lawn provide plenty of space for children and family use, while a substantial timber-built summer house offers an excellent additional space for entertaining, working from home or simply enjoying the garden. A large flagstone patio provides an impressive outdoor entertaining area, perfectly positioned for enjoying the exceptional privacy of the plot, with an outside tap and substantial brick-retained wall adding both practicality and structure to the landscaping.
The combination of the elevated position, secure gated approach, far-reaching views, immaculate presentation and remarkable privacy makes this a particularly special family home. Every aspect of the property has clearly been considered and carefully maintained, from the clean lines of the landscaped grounds to the beautifully presented interiors, creating a home that is both elegant and exceptionally practical for modern family living.
