Space & Setting

Set along a quiet residential street close to Ainsworth Village, this substantial five-bedroom detached home has been significantly extended and thoughtfully reconfigured to create an impressive family residence of excellent proportions. The result is expansive living space that flows effortlessly from room to room, giving the house a layout that feels both generous and cohesive.

With open greenbelt land, countryside walks and peaceful lodges just a short stroll away, the setting strikes a perfect balance between residential calm and access to the outdoors, while still remaining well connected to Bury town centre and beyond.

Welcome Home

A broad driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached garage, creating a practical and welcoming approach. The frontage has been extended to enhance both internal space and kerb appeal, while the addition of a front porch offers a useful transition into the home.

Step inside through the porch, where handy storage keeps coats and shoes neatly organised, ideal for busy family life, before moving into the bright entrance hallway. Instantly, the sense of space is apparent. Large-format tiling runs seamlessly across the entire ground floor, complemented by crisp white walls and recessed lighting. Aluminium windows throughout the property allow natural light to flow through the interiors, while electric blinds in many of the principal rooms add a layer of everyday convenience. A striking oak staircase rises to the first floor, adding warmth and character against the modern backdrop.

Electric underfloor heating serves the living room, dining room, family room and side porch, with central heating throughout the remainder of the house, ensuring comfort all year round.

Versatile Living Spaces

The living room is a generously proportioned space designed for relaxation. A striking stone feature wall forms the focal point, complete with a mounted television and sleek finish that adds texture and depth. The room comfortably accommodates multiple sofas and occasional seating without feeling crowded, making it ideal for both family evenings and entertaining guests. Built-in cabinetry provides display and storage space, while the tiled flooring continues seamlessly underfoot.

The separate dining room offers a more formal setting for gatherings and celebrations. Well sized to accommodate a full dining suite, it benefits from a bright outlook and the same polished tiled flooring, creating continuity with the rest of the ground floor while allowing the room to feel distinct and purposeful.

Contemporary Kitchen & Family Living

At the heart of the home sits the kitchen, a spacious open-plan environment designed for both practicality and connection. Granite work surfaces extend across the main perimeter units and the substantial central island, creating generous preparation space and an ideal spot for casual dining or socialising. The island also incorporates a gas hob with a stainless-steel extractor canopy above, forming a natural focal point within the room.

The kitchen is comprehensively equipped with two Neff ovens, a Neff microwave, a Neff gas hob with extractor, a Samsung Speedcook oven and a Miele dishwasher, offering both performance and reliability. High-gloss cabinetry keeps the aesthetic clean and contemporary, while large-format porcelain tiles continue underfoot, reinforcing the seamless ground floor finish.

Flowing directly from the kitchen is the adjoining family room, a bright and inviting space designed for everyday living. Skylights above draw natural light deep into the room, while wide bi-folding doors span the rear elevation, opening fully onto the porcelain-tiled patio and landscaped garden beyond. This connection between inside and out makes the space particularly suited to summer gatherings and relaxed weekends at home. A sleek wall-mounted contemporary fire adds warmth and atmosphere, creating a comfortable setting throughout the seasons.

Positioned just off the main kitchen area, open yet thoughtfully set back, is the utility room. Although not separated by a door, it occupies its own defined space, fitted with additional cabinetry, work surfaces, a sink unit and plumbing for laundry appliances. This keeps the functional elements of family life neatly organised without interrupting the flow of the main living space.

Beyond the utility is a practical boot room, providing further storage and everyday convenience. With two external doors leading to both the side and rear of the property, it offers ideal access for children, pets or muddy boots after countryside walks, ensuring the main living areas remain clean and uncluttered.

Together, these spaces form a cohesive hub of the home, sociable, well planned and designed to support modern family living with ease.

Retreat Upstairs

Take the solid oak staircase to the first floor, where the sense of space continues. A well-positioned window above the stairwell draws natural light down through the space, enhancing the bright, open feel as you rise to the landing. Hardwood flooring continues underfoot, while clean white walls and recessed ceiling lights maintain the contemporary finish established below. The timber detailing adds warmth and consistency, creating a seamless transition between levels.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous in scale, comfortably accommodating a full suite of furniture without compromising floor space. A wide window draws in natural light and provides an open outlook, while fitted wardrobes offer streamlined storage. The room feels calm and well proportioned, a true retreat at the end of the day.

The en-suite is fully tiled in large-format marble-effect porcelain, creating a sleek, cohesive finish from floor to ceiling. A walk-in shower with glass screen, contemporary sanitaryware and chrome fittings give the space a clean, modern aesthetic, while a high-level window ensures both natural light and ventilation.

Bedrooms two and three are both well-sized doubles, each benefiting from hardwood flooring and generous window openings that frame pleasant views and allow light to flood in. One features extensive fitted wardrobes and a dedicated dressing area with integrated drawer units and worktop space beneath the window, creating a practical yet refined storage solution. These rooms are bright, comfortable and adaptable for family members or guests.

A further bedroom offers excellent flexibility as a nursery, guest room or home office. Its inward-opening bi-fold style windows create a Juliet effect when opened, inviting fresh air into the room while maintaining a clean, contemporary look when closed. The generous glazing ensures the space feels bright and airy throughout the day.

The main bathroom is finished to the same high standard as the en-suite, fully tiled in marble-effect porcelain for a seamless, contemporary look. A Japanese-style bath provides a distinctive focal point, complemented by a separate glass-enclosed shower, modern vanity unit and chrome heated towel radiator. The clean lines and cohesive design create a space that feels both practical and calming.

Continuing upward, the staircase rises again to the converted loft level, where the sense of space extends further. Cleverly designed to maximise head height and usable floor area, this level offers impressive proportions, enhanced by large Velux roof windows fitted with integrated blinds, allowing light levels to be adjusted for comfort and privacy. Built-in storage is neatly incorporated into the eaves, maintaining clean lines while providing practical everyday use.

Modern Outdoor Living

Stepping out through the wide bi-fold doors, the connection between inside and out becomes immediately apparent. The porcelain tiling continues seamlessly from the family room onto the patio, creating a cohesive outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of the home.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with both structure and simplicity in mind. Large-format porcelain tiles span the full width of the property, offering generous space for dining, seating and socialising without feeling crowded. A linear drainage channel is neatly integrated along the threshold, ensuring both practicality and a clean architectural finish.

Raised brick-edged beds frame the patio on multiple levels, filled with decorative Welsh slate for a crisp, low-maintenance aesthetic. The tiered design adds depth and visual interest while subtly zoning the space, with ample room for outdoor dining as well as more relaxed seating areas.

Black composite fencing encloses the garden on all sides, delivering both durability and a sharp contemporary contrast against the warm brickwork of the house. The fencing sits in front of the original timber boundary, all within the property’s curtilage, reinforcing the sense of enclosure and long-term practicality.
