Set behind gated grounds on sought-after Wigan Road, this six-bedroom detached period home blends 1930s character with recent, high-spec remodelling. A comprehensive back-to-bricks renovation completed in 2023 and a 1,100 sq ft architect-designed extension in 2024 create expansive, flexible living across three floors — ideal for families or multigenerational households.
The ground floor centres on a grand family room with a roof lantern, porcelain tiles and bi-fold doors opening to a south-facing garden patio. High-spec finishes include solid oak parquet, granite worktops, integrated appliances, triple glazing and modern M&E: air source heat pump with A/C in multiple rooms, Cat6e wired network and EV charging.
Upstairs offers four principal bedrooms and a large four-piece bathroom; the top floor is a self-contained in-law suite with kitchen, bathroom and reception, or can provide two extra bedrooms. Outside, the private plot (~0.29 acres) includes a sunken lawn, patio, insulated garden office with heating and full connectivity, and parking for 10+ cars.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (999-year lease from 12 Nov 1932, £16 pa lease payment) and sits in a high council tax band. EPC rating C. This is a rare opportunity to buy a character home with modern performance and substantial additional space, but buyers should budget for the usual upkeep of a large, period property.
