| Description |
Situated in a private gated residential park within a conservation area, this property is unique in the park in having a detached coachhouse at the rear.
There was also planning permission, now lapsed, for a detached house on the side garden. Architects drawings intact.
LOCALITY: Railway station 3 minutes walk. (Manchester Piccadilly 15 mins. by rail). Main bus route 3 mins. walk. Stockport Grammar School 3 mins. Manchester ringroad M60 and M56 motorways in Stockport, about 2 miles.
GENERAL COMMENTS: Built in 1890, this light, airy and spacious house retains many elegant features of the period, including both stone and brick mullions, intricate covings and painted stained glass windows. On the Eastern side, prisms throw early morning rainbow spectra across the main rooms (even in the cellar). All of the modern brightness and none of the old gloom.
To save repetition on the modern features, all rooms have MANY power points, and most have telephone and television sockets. Central heating radiators are everywhere expected, and more besides. The house is totally rewired and replumbed (21st century).
With clean, light, neutral decoration, this may be love at first sight, as it was with us.
GROUND FLOOR:
Stone steps to front door, opening to porch with mosaic tiled floor.
Inner door to entrance hall, stairs with elegant (that word again) banisters and posts. There are double doors to separate, if you want to, "above stairs" from "below stairs". Cloakroom, computer room and separate WC and washbasin.
All these have mosaic tiled floors too, under the heavy carpet. Side door.
SITTING ROOM: 13'9" x 24'2" into bay. Double aspect, East and South, with the Eastern spectra. Gas fire in marble fireplace with Regency style timber surround.
DINING ROOM: 15'6" x 14'0". Adam style fireplace (solid fuel). Disused serving hatch through to:-
MORNING ROOM: 13'9" x 12'0". Built in cupboards.
KITCHEN: 13'5" x 9'9". Stainless steel 1 1/2 sink with waste disposal unit. Fitted cupboards. Electric wall heater. Extractor fan. Stainless steel ceramic hob cooker. Stainless steel fridge/freezer. Built-in dishwasher. Excellent downlighting.
Door to enclosed rear porch and back door.
BASEMENT/CELLARS: (First six of these are individually accessed from a central hall).
GAMES ROOM: 24'0" x 13'6", with parquet block floor and small stage. Early morning rainbow spectra. Could be one or two more bedrooms if you like "reverse level".
STOREROOM 1: 9'0" x 7'0", with shelving.
STOREROOM 2 (under dining room) with two original stone tables and meat store.
WINE CELLAR with shelves.
UNDERSTAIR CUPBOARD.
LAUNDRY ROOM (under morning room) with oil-fired central heating boiler in original cast-iron fireplace, double drainer stainless steel sink with tiled surround, shelving and plumbed-in washing machine. Archaeology too - remains of old "Copper". The old stone sink from here now holds gentians in the garden. Back door to steps to patio and:-
COAL CELLAR with original hatch.
ANOTHER TWO SMALLER CELLARS.
These basements and cellars are only partially below ground level, and they cover the whole footprint of the other floors.
FIRST FLOOR:
LANDING(S).
BATHROOM ONE: 13'4" x 10'0". Double aspect, East and North. Half- and full-tiled, with large corner bath, washbowl, walled shower, WC, bidet and large airing cupboard.
MAIN BEDROOM: 20'3" x 13'0". Double aspect, East and South, with the rainbow spectra.
Door to en-suite:-
BATHROOM TWO: 8'0" x 6'11". Half tiled, with quadrant shower enclosure, WC, washbowl, stainless steel mirrored cupboards, extractor fan and brilliant dichroic downlighting.
Door back to landing, so this is also a family bathroom (choose which door to lock).
BEDROOM TWO: 14'2" x 14'0" with large set of fitted wardrobes.
BEDROOM THREE: 14'0" x 13'9".
SECOND FLOOR:
LANDING(S).
BEDROOM FOUR: 18'7" x 12'10".
TWO BOXROOMS: 10'0" x 6'11" and 6'1" x 4'1" (no windows).
TANK ROOM with adjacent roof void over bathroom one.
ROOF VOID over main bedroom, crying out for conversion for at least two more bedrooms.
OUTSIDE:
COACHHOUSE: Part of this is now the double garage and there is a large workshop with block stable floor and an old original workbench with cast iron legs. The adjoining office (once the ostler's accommodation, with cast iron fireplace and oven) has a Jacob's ladder up to the overall hayloft. This hayloft, which is a radio ham's dream shack, has two large shelved benches made for the purpose. Electricity and telephone are, of course, connected, together with multicore security cabling. Water tap and drain.
Architects grannyflat conversion drawings too.
WASHHOUSE: Houses the 600 gallon oiltank, and is covered in rampant ivy, home to many different nesting birds.
A WALLED STONE-FLAGGED PATIO is above the rear area, which has an old street lamp.
The LONG DRIVEWAY can hold at least six cars, with also caravan, boats and/or cars in the "backyard". Drive and yard resurfaced March 2008.
The GARDENS have many interesting plants and shrubs, and many of the trees, lime, yew, holly, cherry, laburnum, magnolia, rhododendron, willow, lilac, purple maple, camellia, eucryphia, and two ancient horse chestnuts are subject to preservation orders. Pride of place goes to the mature Handkerchief Tree, DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA, rarely seen outside the grounds of a stately home. This must be seen in May and June. The gardens are child friendly, with paths and dens, buckets full of conkers in Autumn and an ideal spread of strong branches for a treehouse in one of the conker trees.
GREENHOUSE: 10' x 8'. Aluminium on brick base. Staging, mains water and electricity.
With two separate buildings to this property, and those cellars, the accent is on airy (not draughty!) space. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the other details, or to argue, criticise or haggle.
