Set behind a block-paved driveway with parking for three cars, this handsome detached five-bedroom home instantly impresses with its kerb appeal and prime Cheadle Hulme location, just a short walk from both Cheadle Hulme School and Cheadle Hulme High School. Originally built in the 1930s, the property has been lovingly owned for the past 15 years and was thoughtfully extended and comprehensively modernised in 2011, blending period character with modern family living beautifully.
A stained-glass porch with tiled flooring sets the tone as you step inside, offering an immediate sense of charm and heritage. The welcoming hallway features wooden flooring, original internal wooden doors throughout, and well-considered practical touches including a generous coat and shoe cupboard and a discreetly covered radiator topped with a useful shelf beneath a mirror, perfect for everyday family life.
To the right of the hall, the living room is a warm and inviting retreat, finished with soft carpeting and centred around an open log fire with a stone mantel and tiled hearth. Ventilation has been installed so the fire can be enjoyed as it is or adapted to accommodate a log burner if desired. A large bay window floods the room with natural light, complemented by plantation shutters and a Victorian-style radiator beneath. The entire heating system, including boiler and radiators, was renewed around 2011, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout.
At the heart of the home lies the stunning open-plan living kitchen and dining space, created from the former carport and extending right up to the boundary on the left. Finished with LVT flooring and underfloor heating to the kitchen area, this is a space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Composite worktops wrap around the kitchen, including a substantial central island with seating, storage and integrated power sockets. High-quality integrated NEFF appliances include an induction hob, double oven and full-size dishwasher, with space for a freestanding fridge freezer. Two sets of French doors, one from the kitchen and one from the dining area, open out to the garden, while the entire rear wall is glazed, creating a wonderful connection between inside and out and filling the space with light throughout the day.
Adjoining the kitchen is a large open-plan seating area with ample room for an L-shaped sofa and wall-mounted television, making it an ideal family snug or informal living space. A further bay window with plantation shutters overlooks the garden, enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity.
The practical utility room is finished with tiled flooring and features a window to the front, space for freestanding appliances, extensive storage, an additional sink and the boiler, making it a hardworking yet well-designed addition. A neatly tiled downstairs WC is tucked under the stairs, complete with sink.
Upstairs, a carpet runner leads up painted wooden stairs to a characterful split-level landing. To the left, the principal bedroom is a calm and elegant retreat with a large window to the front, television and phone points, and an abundance of natural light. A walk-in dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a rear window leads through to a luxurious ensuite wet room, finished floor-to-ceiling in striking black porcelain tiles. The spacious shower features both a rain head and handheld shower, under-sink storage and a truly hotel-style feel. Additional built-in storage cupboards are thoughtfully placed just outside the principal suite.
To the right of the split staircase, the family bathroom continues the theme of refined luxury, beautifully tiled and featuring a built-in bath alongside a wet-room style shower with rain head and handheld attachment. Built-in shelving and a window over the bath create a spa-like atmosphere. A loft hatch on the landing provides further storage.
The remaining bedrooms are all generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out. One double bedroom enjoys a bay window overlooking the rear garden with plantation shutters, while another large front bedroom features a bay window with a charming window seat and storage beneath, built-in wardrobes, a desk area and a wonderfully tranquil outlook. A further front bedroom is currently used as a home office but easily accommodates a double bed. Three of the five double bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes. The top-floor bedroom, added during the 2011 conversion, includes extensive fitted storage in the eaves running the full depth of the room, a Velux window with fitted blind and a skylight overlooking the rear garden, making it a bright and versatile space.
Outside, the garden is as thoughtfully planned as the interior. An Indian stone patio runs the full width of the house, perfect for morning coffee in the sunshine, while a pathway leads along the lawn through mature planting to a charming stone-walled “secret garden” at the rear. This hidden area includes a shed, vegetable patch, herb garden and water butt, and enjoys the evening sun, making it an ideal spot to sit and watch the sun go down. The current owners had planned to open this area further to create a dedicated evening seating space, offering exciting potential for the next owner.
Practicality continues with access from front to back via the garage on the right-hand side, featuring a roller door to the front and an up-and-over door to the rear. Solar panels installed approximately ten years ago add to the home’s efficiency.
With its blend of period charm, high-quality modernisation, generous living spaces and outstanding location, this is a truly special family home offering light, space and lifestyle in one of Cheadle Hulme’s most sought-after settings.
