This three-bedroom Victorian terrace offers generous proportions, retained period detailing, and outdoor space, alongside ample on-street parking. The home balances warmth and individuality with the elegance of its original architecture, creating a comfortable and characterful space.
The Space
Set back from the street behind a small front garden, the front door opens into a porch that provides a gentle separation before leading into the main hallway. Hardwood flooring runs underfoot and continues seamlessly into both reception rooms to the left, having been carefully sanded and varnished. A solid hardwood staircase rises to the upper floor, while the kitchen and utility space sit to the rear of the plan.
Throughout the home, the proportions typical of the Victorian era are immediately apparent: tall ceilings, deep skirting boards, picture rails, textured ceilings, and decorative cornicing create a sense of volume and continuity from room to room.
The living room is positioned at the front of the house and is colour-drenched in a burnt terracotta hue. A bay window sits above a panelled wall, drawing natural light deep into the room and accentuating its generous scale. The space is anchored by a fireplace with tiled surround, providing a strong focal point.
Next door, the dining room overlooks the rear garden. An original fireplace with red tiled surround is preserved here, flanked by a built-in hardwood unit to one side. Pendant lighting hangs above the dining table, subtly zoning the room, which is finished in a sand beige palette.
To the rear, the kitchen features tiled flooring and an L-shaped arrangement of cabinetry topped with quartz worktops in a marble-effect finish. A navy vertical stack-tiled splashback runs between the base and overhead units, which provide ample storage. Opposite, the sink is positioned beneath a window, set into a dedicated section of worktop with storage below. From the kitchen, stairs lead down to a cellar offering additional storage. Beyond the kitchen, a versatile utility or boot room provides further functionality, with direct access out to the garden.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom sits to the front of the house and is generous in scale. Finished in a faded red, the room features a fireplace with red tiled surround, bedside pendant lights, and multiple windows that enhance the sense of light and space.
The second bedroom is positioned to the rear, enjoying open views towards the moorlands. Finished in warm sand beige colour, it retains an original fireplace with mosaic tiling and includes pendant lighting at the bedside. The third bedroom also faces the rear, sharing the same elevated outlook.
Soft grey carpet runs throughout the upper hallway and bedrooms. A built-in hardwood storage cupboard is positioned on the landing, while overhead, a preserved stained-glass window looks up towards the loft, adding colour and period detail to the circulation space.
The bathroom has been fully renovated and is accessed via a sliding door. Large-format floor tiles ground the space, while a freestanding bath with overhead shower is wrapped in navy vertical stack tiles that continue across the room in a half-height treatment. A floating vanity basin and heated towel rail complete the space, resulting in a bathroom that feels both contemporary and considered.
The property has been updated, including a full electrical rewire, a new boiler and heating system, and extensive internal redecoration throughout. The bathroom has been fully replaced, and externals have been carefully refreshed.
Stalybridge sits around 30 minutes from Manchester city centre, offering open countryside and a balance of landscape, community, and connectivity.

Cranworth Street is quietly positioned within a residential pocket, with everyday amenities close at hand. Stalybridge town centre offers a range of shops, cafés, and pubs, while far-reaching views, open countryside, and moorland walks are all easily reached, alongside nearby green spaces including Cheetham Park, Stalybridge Country Park, and Stamford Park.
For commuters, Stalybridge Train Station provides regular services into Manchester city centre, with journey times of around 10 minutes. Road connections link easily to surrounding towns and the wider region via the A635 and M60. The area is also well served by schools, contributing to its appeal for families.
