A rare, character-filled family residence set in an idyllic semi-rural location on a private entry road. Circa 1800 construction combines Tudor-style exteriors, exposed beams and original features with generously proportioned living spaces across approximately 3,078 sq ft — including a large open landing, two staircases and versatile room layouts suitable for family life or home working.
Practical strengths include an integral double garage with workshop space and electric doors, a utility room, two ensuite bathrooms plus a family bathroom, and a sizeable private garden. Off-road parking and easy motorway access (M61) make commuting straightforward while the setting remains peaceful with very low local crime and excellent mobile signal.
Important considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply) and has slow broadband speeds, which may affect running costs and home-working connectivity. The house is a historic solid-brick build (pre-1900) with internal insulation; older properties of this type can need ongoing maintenance and periodic upgrades. EPC rating D and the mixed information on construction/plan form mean buyers should factor in a thorough survey.
Offered with no onward chain, this substantial home will suit a growing family or buyer seeking a distinctive period property with scope to adapt spaces (large landing, attic access, garage/workshop) to modern needs. Nearby good primary schools and convenient transport links add everyday practicality without sacrificing character or privacy.
