Description

A Truly Exceptional Six Bedroom Family Home in the Heart of Didsbury's Prestigious Blackburn Park Conservation Area.

Set on one of Didsbury’s most desirable roads, just a short stroll from the village, this outstanding family residence offers an impressive 3934 sq ft of accommodation across four expansive floors with lift access from the underground garage through to the first floor. Brimming with character, original stained-glass and contemporary elegance, this is undoubtedly one of the area's most stunning gems.

Upon entering, you're welcomed by a spacious entrance hallway. The bay-fronted lounge boasts a feature fireplace and bespoke built-in shelving, with doors opening to a stunning garden room extension. The elegant bay-fronted dining room features another striking fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a high-spec family kitchen/diner with granite worktops, an array of integrated appliances, and views over the rear garden. There is underfloor heating to the ground floor hall, lounge, dining room and kitchen/diner. A useful WC completes the space.

The lower-ground floor comprises the integrated garage with electric door, hallway and cloakroom and stairs and elevator. The garage incorporates the utility services for washing, drying and sink unit. There is a versatile apartment with a hallway, sitting room, kitchen/diner, generous double bedroom, and sleek contemporary shower/WC with underfloor heating. The apartment has a door to the main residence and independent access. The apartment could be used for a family member, staff, guest suite or be let out. The sitting room could be a cinema room for the main residence. The lower-ground floor has a generous 2.4m ceiling height.

The first floor offers a bright and airy landing leading to the principal bedroom, which includes a beautiful feature window. There are two additional bedrooms and two spacious and well-appointed contemporary bathrooms.

On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, one with a charming side-facing balcony and these rooms share a contemporary shower room.
All bedrooms at the property have extensive bespoke fitted wardrobes.

Externally, the home enjoys a thoughtfully landscaped frontage, with a block-paved driveway secured by electric gates. Steps lead to the welcoming front entrance, enhanced by feature lighting and comprehensive CCTV coverage to both front and rear.

The rear garden is a true highlight - a tranquil and private outdoor space with mature, well-stocked borders, a generous lawn, atmospheric feature lighting, a large patio area and accessible from both the garden room and internal hallway.
