Approached via a sweeping driveway with central turning circle, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy and is framed by manicured lawns, a striking ornamental pond and a series of thoughtfully arranged seating areas, together with a substantial timber pavilion ideal for outdoor entertaining. A detached double garage and additional store further enhance the practicality of the setting. The house itself offers a handsome farmhouse façade and well-balanced accommodation extending to over 3,500 sq ft. Internally, it is a warm and well-loved family home with a more traditional layout, including a generous kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility, multiple reception rooms comprising a spacious lounge and formal dining room, and up to five bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities, alongside further bathrooms. While impeccably maintained, the property offers excellent potential for sympathetic alteration to create a more contemporary open-plan arrangement, should one wish, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home of character with both immediate appeal and future scope in an attractive rural setting. Ideally located in a prime position close to excellent amenities, sought-after schools, and with easy access to the motorway network – plus just 30 minutes from Manchester Airport.
