A substantial five-bedroom detached residence, located within the highly exclusive St James Park development. Set within a former university campus, the property enjoys an enviable position just a short walk from the heart of Didsbury Village, offering an excellent range of amenities including independent bars, restaurants, and convenient transport links.

Constructed by the renowned PJ Livesey, this impressive family home extends to over 3,400 sq ft and occupies a generous plot, benefitting from secure gated access and ample off-road parking. The thoughtfully designed accommodation comprises: a covered porch, an impressive entrance hallway with a striking glazed staircase, cloakroom and WC, a spacious lounge with bay window, and a separate media room.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining space, featuring bi-folding doors opening onto the side garden. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall units, complemented by quality work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar seating. Beyond, a beautifully appointed family room with feature fireplace also enjoys bi-folding doors, creating an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, a versatile gymnasium offers further potential as a home office or additional reception room.

To the first floor, a bright and spacious landing is flooded with natural light from a large front-facing window. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with walk-in dressing room and a luxurious en-suite featuring a ‘Villeroy & Boch’ suite. Two further double bedrooms benefit from their own en-suites, while a fourth bedroom is served by a Jack and Jill bathroom, also accessible from the landing. The fifth bedroom offers flexibility as a study if required.

Externally, the property is set within beautifully maintained grounds. A large driveway to the front provides ample parking and leads to an integral garage with electric up-and-over door. To the side, there is a useful laundry area and a generous patio seating space, bordered by mature trees, flowering shrubs, and a feature fish pond.

This exceptional home must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Offered for sale with no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended.
