BACK ON THE MARKET AFTER CHAIN COLLAPSE This is the property you've been waiting for and you didn't even know you were waiting, it's like the greatest hits of Sale all rolled into one. Detached, four bedrooms, three reception rooms, space for a home office, wrap around gardens, off road parking, school catchments, scope for extension with planning permission previously granted, close to parks and Ashton Village and so much more all rolled into one property - what more could you ask for? With view of St Mary's Church from the garden, you are situated on the corner of Harboro Road and Hayling Road, just around the corner from the highly sought after Ashton Village with it's range of independent shops, restaurants and cafes as well as the thriving community that you can see come to life with the various fairs and markets they hold throughout the year. But don't fret you're also equidistance to Sale town centre meaning you're only a short distance from major bus routes, the motorway network and Metrolink. It's easy to see why this could be the perfect location for so many people. Families are going to love the school catchment that this property falls into for both primary and secondary, couples will love the local community and parks to explore, commuters will love how easy it is to get to major hubs like Manchester, Media City, the universities and further afield, home workers will love the scope to add a home office in the original footprint or convert the garage, those looking for the forever home will love the fact that this is the location that ticks all the boxes above and more! It's hard to avoid hyperbole when describing this home but with it's generous corner plot and just under 2000ft of living space it really is a show stopper. From the moment you walk up the garden path to the canopied entrance you will find it hard not to fall in love with this grand family home just like my vendor's did all those years ago. The front door opens to reveal a generous hallway with under stair storage tucked away under the turned staircase. There are two large reception rooms off the hallway offering scope to make the space work for you by deciding where the dining room, play room, living room, formal room or whatever other room you want will be. This scope of versatility is something a lot of modern properties can't offer, here you can decide whether to have the living room at the front to catch the morning sun or at the side to capture the afternoon light - either way you'll find the large windows really drag the light and views into the home. There is also the important downstairs WC off the hallway. Following the hall around the corner will take you the large kitchen space that has the separate utility area and further reception area with views over the rear garden. Once again the world is your oyster and you could decide to redesign the space or even extend using the existing plans to create a huge kitchen/diner area! (Planning permission Ref. No: 104997/HHA/21 - plans available on Trafford public access portal) Now up to the first floor and the house just keeps giving you have four bedrooms with three large double bedrooms and the fourth bedroom currently being used as large office space but would make the ideal nursery or bedroom space for a child. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and generous dressing room although you might be tempted to turn that dressing area into another home office. There is also a family bathroom off landing. The loft has been partial boarded but with the right designs and vision the landing does offer the potential of an additional staircase up to the loft to add a fifth bedroom without the property feeling top heavy as many five bedroom homes do. Looking at the plot it does scream extension! But don't be fooled the wrap around gardens offer so much more than that. You've got a range of entertaining spaces already established and looks like the perfect entertainer's garden for those family get togethers, just image the BBQs you could host here. With the mature trees, bushes and shrubbery those that are green fingered will find the ideal space to call your own slice of paradise in the suburbs. The vendor has also installed several fixed canopies meaning you can enjoy the garden even when the sun stops shining. It even offers views of the church on Moss Lane as well. There is a detached, larger than expected garage as well with space for a workshop a the rear of it as well, now the popular thing to do at the moment is to convert these buildings into home offices, annexes or summer houses but. All these ideas would work perfectly with the home and provides you with the versatility again to make this home work for you currently while growing with you as well (however you may just be like me and need a dumping ground!) In front of the garage there is a car port offering off road parking which isn't obvious from the front. Now hopefully this has piqued your interest so make sure to book your viewing today quoted GY0737 when you book. I look forward to showing you around soon! FAQs Reason for Selling: The current vendor is downsizing to the coast Tenure: Freehold (no ongoing finance commitments) Council Tax Band: F Loft (Boarded/ Ladder): Partially boarded with pull down folding ladder Vendor's favourite features : "We fell in love from the moment of setting eyes on the property, we happened to be driving past and saw the board. We have made so many happy memories in the home and the time is right for another family to call it their own. The garden has provided the majority of those memories while we've thoroughly enjoyed hosting dinner parties and having the grandkids round to play as the years have gone on. It really was a hidden gem and we're so glad that we found it."
