1 Hey Croft, Whitefield, Manchester, M45 7HX WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR FOR THIS PROPERTY Space, Style & Convenience Occupying a sought-after residential position close to Old Hall Road, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers generous proportions, quality finishes, and versatile living ideal for modern family life. Set within a quiet, established residential development just a short walk from Whitefield centre, the property combines a peaceful setting with excellent access to local amenities, transport links, and green spaces, making it well suited to both families and professionals. Welcome Home Approached via a smart concrete-imprinted driveway with integrated lighting, the home offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles alongside an integrated garage, complete with power, lighting, water supply, and an electric roller shutter door. Stepping inside via a small entrance porch, you’re welcomed into the main hallway where the sense of space and quality is immediately apparent. Amtico flooring flows underfoot, while a bespoke oak staircase rises to the first floor, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. An oak archway draws you through to the dining room, offering an inviting glimpse of the character beyond. Versatile Living Spaces The ground floor has been carefully arranged to create a natural flow between spaces, offering both sociable areas for gathering and quieter corners to unwind. At the heart of the home is the oak shaker-style kitchen, installed by the current owners and finished with black granite worktops. With a large window drawing in natural light and space for informal dining, it’s a room that works effortlessly for both everyday living and entertaining. Whether it’s a morning coffee at the table or hosting friends, the kitchen feels both practical and welcoming. Just off here, a well-appointed utility room provides additional storage and laundry space, keeping the main living areas organised. Leading on from the kitchen, the morning room offers a more relaxed setting, perfect for slower moments throughout the day. Decorative wall panelling adds character, while patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection to the outside during the warmer months. The living room is an impressive and versatile space, stretching the full depth of the property and benefiting from a dual aspect that fills the room with light from morning through to evening. Generous in size, it comfortably accommodates both formal seating and more relaxed arrangements, centred around an oak fire surround with a marble backboard and a Dimplex Optimyst fire. The dining room is a real highlight, rich in character and atmosphere with shaker-style wall panelling and William Morris wallpaper. Framed beautifully by a bespoke oak archway, it feels both connected and distinct, creating a natural transition into a space designed for gathering, whether for dinner parties or more informal family meals. A ground floor WC completes the layout. Take the beautiful oak staircase to the first floor, where the same sense of space and presentation continues. The bedroom accommodation has been arranged with family life in mind, offering five well-proportioned rooms that can easily adapt to changing needs, whether for children, guests, or home working. The principal bedroom is a particularly inviting retreat, designed with both comfort and style in mind. Fitted furniture frames the space, while a feature slatted wall behind the bed adds warmth and texture, creating a boutique feel. Generous proportions ensure there is still plenty of room to relax and unwind, while the en suite is finished with a walk-in shower featuring an overhead drench, contemporary tiling, and a clean, understated design. The remaining bedrooms are equally versatile, with three further doubles providing excellent accommodation, two of them enhanced by fitted Rothwell & Thomas wardrobes. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study, offering flexibility as a home office, nursery, or dressing room. Serving these rooms is the family bathroom, a bright and well-finished space designed with both practicality and comfort in mind. Fully tiled in soft, neutral tones and complemented by traditional-style panelling, it balances classic and contemporary styling. Fitted with a Vitra suite and Mira electric shower, it offers a reliable and functional setup for busy households. A full-sized bath with overhead shower and glass screen provides flexibility for both quick starts to the day and more relaxed evenings, while the vanity unit and fitted storage keep everything neatly organised. Patterned flooring adds a subtle touch of character, completing the room with a more considered feel. Stepping out from the house, the rear garden has been designed to feel like a natural extension of the living space, offering a private and well-balanced setting for both relaxing and entertaining. A generous stone patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, from summer barbecues to quieter evenings in the sun. From here, steps lead up to a well-kept lawn framed by mature planting and established borders, creating a sense of privacy and greenery throughout the seasons. A raised composite decked area offers a more tucked-away seating space, ideal for morning coffee or unwinding with a book, while features such as the ornamental water feature and carefully considered landscaping add character and a sense of calm. To the front, the property makes an immediate impression with its smart, contemporary finish and concrete-imprinted driveway providing ample parking. Subtle ground-level lighting enhances both practicality and kerb appeal, while the quiet, well-maintained setting adds to the overall appeal. The current owners have invested in a number of important upgrades, including replacement ground floor windows and patio doors, a new boiler relocated to the garage with upgraded radiators, and a new consumer unit. Externally, the property has also benefitted from new soffits, fascias, guttering, updated canopy roofs with improved insulation, and rendering to both the front and rear, ensuring the home is ready to move straight into. Set on a highly sought-after development just off Ringley Road, the location strikes an ideal balance between tranquillity and convenience, with Whitefield centre just a short walk away. The Metrolink is within easy reach, offering quick, direct access into Manchester and Bury, while the nearby motorway network makes travelling across the region straightforward. Both Whitefield and Prestwich village centres are close by, offering a vibrant mix of independent cafés, restaurants, shops, and everyday amenities. Whether it’s meeting friends for brunch or heading out for the evening, there’s plenty to enjoy on your doorstep.
