Description

The Property
Situated in one of Gatley’s most desirable residential locations, this exceptional seven-bedroom detached residence offers outstanding family living, just moments from top schools, local amenities, and excellent transport links to Cheadle, Didsbury, and Manchester City Centre.

Spanning approximately 5,524 sq. ft., this substantial home is arranged over two floors and includes a fully enclosed quadruple garage with space for five vehicles, alongside a dedicated gym. Thoughtfully designed for modern family life, the property seamlessly blends expansive reception areas with flexible bedroom arrangements, multiple en-suites, and a self-contained annex with its own entrance ideal for multi-generational living.

The ground floor is anchored by a grand reception hall, leading to a spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining area (approx. 30’7” x 16’3”), featuring luxurious Italian granite surfaces and a bespoke granite dining table. Additional reception rooms and lounges offer versatility, while practical spaces include utility rooms, a store room, a shower room, cloak storage, and a study/home office.

Upstairs, the lavish principal suite boasts a private balcony, en-suite bathroom with heated flooring, and walk-in wardrobe. Additional spacious double bedrooms are served by modern, fully renovated en-suites and shower rooms, all recently completed with brand-new, state-of-the-art fixtures. The air conditioning is fitted in the four upstairs bedrooms, ensuring year-round comfort.

Tucked away in the rear garden is a charming summer house, basking in sunlight from dawn until dusk. Surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens, the space is adorned with vibrant, beautiful flowers and lush greenery, creating a tranquil retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining on warm summer days.
Beneath the summer house is a bomb shelter constructed in the early 1940s with access from the side of the summer house.


Outside
Externally, the property offers expansive secure parking for up to 20 vehicles, with a concrete imprint driveway wrapping three sides of the house, accessed by an electric front gate and a cantilever sliding side gate. The rear garden features a beautifully crafted, newly built decking area perfect for outdoor relaxation while the entire perimeter is secured with mesh fencing, complemented by full CCTV coverage and a cutting-edge 42-sensor security system, ensuring complete peace of mind.

Annex
In addition to the main residence, the property benefits from a fantastic two-bedroom self-contained annex, offering flexible living space ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or independent accommodation. The annex is accessible via its own private entrance from the rear garden, but it also has a separate internal connection to the main residence, offering complete flexibility. Inside, a versatile reception area serves as a dining space, with a well-proportioned kitchen offering ample storage, a cooker, and a fridge freezer. A spacious lounge, with patio doors leading to the shared garden, creates a bright and welcoming living area. The annex also includes a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second bedroom, and a contemporary en suite shower room, offering comfort and privacy.

For those travelling further afield, the property benefits from excellent road links with the M60 and M56 motorway networks both within easy reach, providing swift access to Manchester Airport, the national motorway network and surrounding commercial centres. Gatley Railway Station is located nearby and offers regular rail services into Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport, whilst East Didsbury and Heald Green stations are also easily accessible. Manchester Airport is approximately a short drive away, making the location ideal for business and leisure travel alike.

The area is particularly popular with families due to the excellent selection of highly regarded schools nearby, including Gatley Primary School, Crossacres Primary Academy and The Kingsway School, together with a number of well-regarded independent and grammar schools within the surrounding areas.
