Description

This BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED home occupies a larger-than-average plot, offering an exceptional sense of space, privacy and versatility throughout. With no direct neighbour on one side, the property benefits from increased natural light and an open aspect that enhances the overall feeling of space—while the rear garden is NOT OVERLOOKED, creating a private outdoor retreat.
Finished to a HIGH STANDARD, the home is READY TO MOVE INTO, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers, professionals and growing families alike. The interior has been thoughtfully updated, including a RECENTLY RENOVATED main bathroom and downstairs WC, alongside freshly decorated staircase and corridors that add to the property’s clean, contemporary feel.
At the heart of the home is a SPACIOUS KITCHEN overlooking the garden, providing both privacy and a pleasant outlook. The layout has been designed with wider hallways and an accessible flow, giving a noticeably more generous feel compared to many typical UK homes. Upstairs, there are three WELL-PROPORTIONED bedrooms, including a third bedroom that offers flexibility as a home office, dressing room or guest space. Additional practical benefits include two separate STORAGE areas, both under the stairs and upstairs.
The loft space has been FULLY BOARDED with lighting and easy access, currently utilised as a highly organised storage area with shelving fitted to both sides. This also contributes to improved insulation and overall energy efficiency.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The EXPANSIVE garden benefits from its positioning and includes additional side space beyond the gate, further increasing the outdoor area. A covered patio allows for year-round use, perfect for relaxing or entertaining in all weather conditions. To the front, there is a DRIVEWAY for TWO cars, with further potential to create additional parking if desired. The extra land and side access also offer scope for extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Situated within the HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER area of Brinnington, Essex Road is within close proximity to a variety of excellent local amenities, including shops, food/drink establishments, and Reddish Vale Nature Reserve.
For commuters, there are convenient TRANSPORT LINKS from Brinnington Station which is a 10 minute walk away from the property, direct bus routes, and fantastic access to the M60, making it ideally located for those travelling to Manchester or Stockport. Reputable schools are nearby, such as Highfields College and Westmoreland Primary.
Important to note: Brinnington is seen as one of Stockport Council's priority areas for investment and regeneration and has recently received £1 million funding from the National Lottery AND a £20 million investment from Stockport Council.
Please get in touch with either the Edward Mellor Woodley Branch to arrange a viewing as soon as possible. This is definitely one to see in person—to truly appreciate all it has to offer and to imagine making it your own home.
