House For Sale £625,000
Welcome to 223 Mottram Road, a large Victorian semi-detached family home. Formally Fern Bank Preparatory School, this house is bursting with charm, provenance and has a wonderful story. Following the closure of the school in the 1960s, the house was divided into two separate dwellings forming the property we market today. Sitting proudly in an enviable position on the prestigious road opposite the entrance to Cheetham Park and Archery Club.
In recent years the property has been lovingly renovated by the existing homeowners who have been careful to restore all of the original features. They have invested in a new roof, electrical re-wire and new central heating system and have meticulously finished each room to a very high standard allowing the new owners to walk in and immediately feel at home.
Upon entering the home through the impressive, large green door you step in to the entrance hallway offering a glimpse of the generous space available on the ground floor. With high ceilings, intricate coving and natural light you're drawn in by the property's charm. To the left is a large downstairs cloakroom with WC and basin and next to this, what was the original kitchen, is now a useful utility room with space for white goods. The existing owners have transformed a former sitting room in to a beautiful modern kitchen/diner with a large gas cooker, excellent range of wall and base units, ceramic sink and central island with seating and space for a separate dining table. A fine example of how contemporary design and tradition can work so well together.
The home office can be found across the hallway, beautifully decorated like the rest of the property. A space where anybody would be more than happy to work from. Next door is a large sitting room, a grand space benefitting from the large bay window as the focal point overlooking Cheetham Park. With beautifully detailed original ceiling cornice and refinished wood flooring, cast iron fireplace with oak surround.
The lower ground floor basement is accessed from the hallway and covers the beneath of the whole house, split up in to four separate rooms. With power and light throughout the space it has lots of potential for further development, workshop space or simply a vast amount of storage. The rear room houses the boiler (installed in 2016) and has a door leading out to the garden.
The impressive original staircase leads up to the first floor where you'll instantly spot the beautiful stained glass leaded skylight and roof lantern flooding light on to the landing, one of the original features making this home truly unique. The landing is spacious leading on to the three bedrooms and bathrooms.
The master bedroom sits at the back of the home, a large space easily accommodating a super king size bed. The owners have added an en-suite bathroom with large basin, WC and walk in shower. The guest room comfortably houses another super king bed with original cornice ceiling and granite fireplace and the third with enough space for a double, traditional fireplace and two built in wardrobes. Both have access to a large family bathroom with roll top bath, shower cubicle and WC and an extra, separate WC.
There is an under stairs storage cupboard and access to the loft area with storage space and stairs leading to an outside roof space with far reaching views. The perfect spot to enjoy the 5th of November or welcome in the new year.
The rear garden has been the most recent project for the existing owners where they have extended the homes entertaining space outside. They have created a large patio area in the sunniest part of the garden with composite decking and an outdoor bar with power providing the perfect area for al-fresco dinners or drinks with friends. With a wooded area to the rear the garden remains private and not over looked. A well-kept lawn area gives children a place to play, safe and secure behind a side gate to the front entrance of the home.
The front driveway provides off road parking for two cars and the property also comes with an extra parking area accessed by a private driveway leading off Fern Bank which can be accessed internally via the gated side entrance of the garden.
Mottram Road is located just under a mile away from the centre of Stalybridge with a selection of shops, cafes and public houses. Stalybridge Railway Station is a 5 minute drive away with regular direct services in to Manchester City centre with a journey time of just 15 minutes. Mottram Road itself has Cheetham Park a beautiful green space with children's playground, sculpture trail and cafe. There are local Tennis and Archery Clubs, a large gym and country pubs, The Waggon & Horses and The Rising Moon in nearby Matley.
The property is close to Stalyhill infant and junior school and St Peter's Catholic Primary School. Secondary schools close by are Copley Academy and West Hill School for boys.
A fine example of a family home. A property steeped in history where Victorian architecture meets contemporary design. Viewings for Mottram Road are now being taken, strictly by appointment.
