Modern Bungalow Living in the Heart of Greenmount

Occupying a generous corner plot in one of Greenmount's most sought-after locations, this beautifully renovated bungalow offers stylish single-storey living with a superb balance of open entertaining spaces and cosy retreats. Having undergone an extensive programme of improvements by the current owners, the home combines high-quality finishes with practical family living, close to highly regarded schools, local amenities and beautiful countryside.

Inside, you'll find well-planned accommodation centred around a spacious living and dining area that flows effortlessly into a contemporary kitchen. Two log burners, bespoke media walls, feature radiators and new flooring throughout create a home that's both elegant and welcoming, while improvements by the current owner - including a replacement boiler, replacement windows, upgraded insulation, electrical works and a Ring alarm - provide peace of mind for years to come.

Outside, the landscaped gardens have been designed for easy maintenance and year-round enjoyment, with two separate patio areas, lawned gardens, mature planting, external lighting, a garden shed, carport, EV charger and secure gated access on both sides of the property.

Designed for Everyday Living

The rear of the home has been transformed into a superb open-plan living space, where cooking, dining and relaxing flow effortlessly together. Flooded with natural light from large windows and French doors opening onto the landscaped garden, it's a room designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday family life, with herringbone flooring and a calm, contemporary palette creating a real sense of cohesion throughout.

At one end, the bespoke kitchen makes an immediate impression with its sophisticated navy cabinetry, bronze accents and sleek granite worktops. Under-cabinet lighting highlights the contemporary design, while the boiling water tap and integrated Zanussi double ovens, induction hob, Hotpoint dishwasher and fridge ensure the kitchen is every bit as practical as it is stylish. Generous granite worktops provide an abundance of preparation space, while the considered layout keeps whoever is cooking connected to family and guests in the adjoining living areas.

The living and dining spaces are equally inviting. The dining area comfortably hosts everything from everyday family meals to larger celebrations, while the sitting area enjoys uninterrupted views across the beautifully landscaped garden through an impressive picture window. Between the two, a bespoke media wall with a contemporary inset log burner forms a striking focal point, adding warmth, character and atmosphere throughout the seasons.

A second reception room adds another layer of versatility to the bungalow. Currently arranged as a cosy lounge, it provides a wonderful retreat, complete with a bespoke media wall, feature log-burning stove and French doors opening onto the garden. Whether used as a relaxing sitting room, home office, cinema room or hobby space, it is a flexible room that can easily evolve with changing lifestyles.

Completing the practical accommodation is a well-appointed utility room, fitted with an abundance of cabinetry, generous worktop space, room for laundry appliances, an additional fridge and freezer, and direct access outside - an invaluable addition for busy family life.

Comfortable Accommodation

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged away from the main living spaces, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

The impressive principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double, beautifully presented with extensive fitted wardrobes spanning an entire wall to provide superb concealed storage. A large picture window frames leafy garden views, while the proportions easily accommodate additional bedroom furniture, creating a calm and luxurious principal suite.

The remaining two bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, each enjoying excellent natural light and offering flexibility for growing families, guests or those requiring a dedicated home office.

Completing the accommodation is a stunning, fully refitted family bathroom, finished to a superb standard with large-format porcelain tiling and striking textured stone feature walls. Designed with both luxury and practicality in mind, it features a freestanding bath, a contemporary walk-in rainfall shower with elegant Crittall-style screening, a floating vanity unit with countertop basin and premium black fittings throughout, creating a true spa-inspired retreat.

Step Outside

Occupying a generous corner plot, the property enjoys wraparound gardens that provide an excellent balance of outdoor entertaining space, family-friendly lawn and attractive landscaped planting.

To the front, a substantial stone-paved driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a smart covered entrance, while an EV charging point adds everyday convenience for modern living.

The rear and side gardens have been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces. A generous lawn provides plenty of room for children to play, complemented by mature hedging that enhances privacy and greenery throughout the seasons. Two separate patio areas offer ideal spots for al fresco dining, relaxing with family and friends or following the sun throughout the day.

Completing the gardens are secure fencing, external lighting, a useful timber garden shed and gated access on both sides of the property, combining practicality with an attractive, low-maintenance outdoor setting.

Out & About

Greenmount has long been regarded as one of Bury's most sought-after villages, combining the charm of semi-rural living with an excellent range of everyday amenities. A thriving community, immediate access to beautiful countryside and an enviable choice of cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities make it particularly popular with families and professionals alike.

Greenmount Cricket Club and Holcombe Brook Sports and Tennis Club, are both within easy reach, while the nearby Kirklees Trail (locally known as The Lines) follows the route of the former railway and forms part of National Cycle Route 6. Picturesque walking and cycling routes weave through the Kirklees Valley, passing the village lake and beautiful woodland, while Redisher Woods, Holcombe Moor and the iconic Peel Monument are all close by for longer countryside adventures.

The village itself offers a wide selection of independent businesses, including The Hub Tea Rooms, a traditional butcher, Co-op convenience store, pharmacy and doctor's surgery. Just a few minutes away, Ramsbottom offers a vibrant mix of award-winning restaurants and cafés, independent boutiques, artisan markets and a year-round calendar of popular community events and festivals

Getting Around

Despite its peaceful village setting, Greenmount is particularly well connected. Regular bus services provide direct links to Bury, Ramsbottom, Bolton and Rawtenstall, while Bury's Metrolink station offers fast and frequent services into Manchester city centre. The nearby M66 provides straightforward access to the M60 and wider motorway network, making commuting across Greater Manchester both convenient and efficient.

Schools

Families are particularly well served by an impressive choice of schools. Greenmount Primary School, Holly Mount Roman Catholic Primary School, Holcombe Brook Primary School, Summerseat Methodist Primary School and Woodhey High School are all within easy reach, while a number of highly regarded grammar and independent schools, including Bury Grammar School and Bolton School, are also easily accessible. This wide choice of well-regarded schools continues to make Greenmount a desirable location for growing families.
