Description
Approached via a mature, landscaped front garden, the house immediately makes a statement, with ample off-road parking for 8–10 vehicles and the added benefit of an electric vehicle charging point. Step through the front door and the home’s period heritage is instantly apparent. Original stained glass, period panelling, plate racks and a charming beamed hallway set a warm and welcoming tone. The hallway retains its original wood flooring and features thoughtfully designed built-in storage, including discreet sliding cupboards tucked neatly beneath the stairs.
At the heart of the home lies the stunning kitchen/diner, fully modernised in 2019 and designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. Finished with LVT flooring, the space is centred around a substantial granite-topped island with seating, complemented by soft-close cabinetry and a sink perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the rear garden. High-quality NEFF appliances include a gas hob with extractor, oven and microwave, complemented by a full-size dishwasher and an integrated fridge freezer. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with tiled flooring, built-in storage and direct access to the garden. Glazed wooden doors lead from the kitchen into a delightful playroom, a characterful space featuring a striking fireplace, built-in shelving, wood-effect LVT flooring and dual windows overlooking the garden.
The main living room is equally impressive, bathed in natural light from a beautiful, oversized arched window complete with a window seat. With dual aspects, plantation shutters, an inglenook-style window and bespoke radiator covers, this room is both elegant and inviting, benefitting from the home’s south-facing orientation, which ensures sunlight throughout the day. A contemporary sunroom further enhances the ground floor accommodation, finished with stone tiled flooring, spotlights and a lantern roof. Bifold doors open directly onto an Indian sandstone patio, creating a seamless flow between inside and out and making this an ideal space for entertaining in the warmer months. Completing the ground floor is a convenient downstairs WC and an additional versatile reception room, perfect as a formal dining room, sitting room or home office, again finished with plantation shutters.
Upstairs, the property continues to celebrate its 1930s origins, with elegant curved walls and further stained-glass details. There are five generously proportioned bedrooms, each offering excellent space and flexibility for growing families. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully finished ensuite with fully tiled walls and a luxurious rain shower. Two of the remaining bedrooms benefit from built-in storage and ensuite facilities, while a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with bath and corner shower, serves the rest of the floor. Additional practical features include three boarded loft spaces providing excellent storage, a garage with electric door, and a delightful rear garden with a well-kept lawn, mature trees, playhouse and shed. A side pathway offers direct access into Happy Valley, making this an ideal home for families and dog walkers alike.
Perfectly positioned, the property is within easy walking distance of Happy Valley and Bramhall Park, falls within the catchment area for Nevill Road Infant School and Bramhall High School, and is just a short distance from Bramhall Village, with its array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Excellent bypass and motorway links also make this a superb choice for commuters. Combining timeless period elegance with modern luxury and exceptional family-friendly living space, this outstanding home is ready to welcome its next chapter.
