House For Sale £800,000
Discover the pinnacle of country living at Spillway, an enchanting home set in The Gardens, the exclusive Quarlton Vale development of five homes. Tucked away on the fringes of Edgworth, this unique collection of homes is set within picturesque surrounds and is serenaded by the sound of the stream running through the garden from the Jumbles Reservoir.
Serene setting
Arrive at Spillway along the cobbled lane running alongside Birches Brook, where Spillway stands against the leafy woodland backdrop. Pull up in front of the arched double garage, and admire the turreted edifice of Spillway, flanked by tiered landscaped lawns and with an attractive planted rockery to the front. There is ample parking for three cars on the driveway in addition to space in the double garage with electric doors.
Make your way indoors, via a neat porch where a stained-glass door invites light through to the entrance hall beyond. Broad and bright, sense the spacious nature of this home instantly upon arrival.
A solid wood, split level staircase ascends to the right, with a handy cloakroom located beside it, furnished with WC and wash basin.
Turning left from the front door, cross the spacious entrance hall and open the glazed double doors to enter the living room; the heart of the home.
Work, rest and play
Supremely spacious, this capacious room is brimming in light courtesy of the curving windows to the turreted front alongside a quartet of tall windows to the side overlooking landscaped lawns. Entertain friends ‘til late in this welcoming room; there is ample space for settees, coffee tables and a piano. Snuggle up in front of the stone fireplace on chilly winter evenings.
To the left of the living room, the spacious study is currently furnished with a desk and shelving, providing the perfect setting in which to work from home. Carpeted underfoot and with neutral tones to the walls, seek inspiration and creativity from the sublime countryside views out of the window. Alongside a Starlink dish, which serves as an addition to the vdsl broadband, Spillway is equipped with an Evohome heating control system, helpful in aiding the reduction of heating bills.
Next door to the study, wine and dine family and friends in the large dining room, where sliding doors open to a large patio terrace to the side. Plaster cornicing skirts the ceiling with solid wood skirtings adding a touch of elegance.
Beyond the dining room, a glass door opens to the conservatory; a sunny spot in which to relax and unwind with a book or watch the birds and wildlife in the tiered garden with its leafy woodland backdrop.
Family friendly
Substantially sized, the breakfast kitchen is another room in which there is plenty of space to gather with family and friends. Personalise this enormous room to your preference. Currently accommodating a bottle green Aga, double oven and freestanding fridge-freezer with plumbing for dishwasher and washer-dryer, there is plenty of scope to put your own personalisation to this family hub.
Soak and sleep
From the entrance hall, ascend the handsome staircase to the first-floor landing, where there is ample light flow from the window and plenty of space for furniture.
Relaxation in spacious surrounds awaits in the main bedroom. Situated to the turreted front of the home, a quartet of windows draws in plenty of natural light, whilst there is abundant space for a super-king-size bed. Fitted furniture spans one wall, comprising wardrobes, shelving and drawers, with another corner of tall wardrobes across on the opposite walls.
Soak away your aches in the ensuite bathroom, with bath, shower, bidet, wash basin and WC alongside heated towel rail.
Next door on the left, bedroom two also benefits from a shower room ensuite, overlooking the leafy gardens and woodland to the side.
A family bathroom furnished with bath, shower, bidet, wash basin and WC is spacious and ideal for all the family.
Continuing along, arrive at bedroom three, dressed in soothing lilac tones with views out to the cascading waters of the spillway to the rear.
A fourth bedroom is decorated in shimmering shades, carpeted underfoot and with verdant views out to the countryside setting. With ample space for a double bed, each bedroom is ideal for children and guests.
Should you require extra space, planning permission has been granted for the expansion of Spillway and the creation of an additional bedroom, a garden room, an extended dining room, a small extension to the study, and a rooftop garden/green roof over the garden room.
Garden oasis
Soak up the serenity of Spillway’s riverside setting from the gardens that flow out to the front and rear.
Mature lawn to the front is easily maintainable with an AutoMower, wiring for which is in situ, whilst in the spring the driveway is banked in bluebells, snowdrops, crocus
and several varieties of daffodils.
To the side, the garden extends up a bank, with a patio perfectly situated part way, arriving at a picturesque still-water pond at the top - a haven for frogs, newts and toads.
Spend sunny afternoons soothed by the sound of running water as your own private waterfall – the spillway – cascades down. In such a peaceful and private setting, the only other sounds are from the wildlife that frequents the garden and surrounding rurality.
Enjoy quiet evenings looking out for the visiting wildlife including deer, bats and
foxes. In the rural surrounds, an elusive family of stoats has been spotted occasionally.
The area is also a haven for twitchers, with a variety of birds including colourful jays and nesting owls, including tawny owls and barn owls, alongside kestrels, yellow and pied wagtails, blue tits, robins, herons and even the odd kingfisher.
History and location
Situated next to Spillway, this home is also built on the precise spot of the old textile
mill, once a major source of employment for the local area (many of the routes travelled used by workers remain as public footpaths).
The mill was powered by a waterwheel which sat in the stream now running the length of the development. Once retained in the garden of Spillway, the waterwheel is now to be seen on display at Turton Tower, preserved as an important piece of local history. Spy the original brick chimney on the hill overlooking Quarlton Vale, now home to the many corvids who roam The Gardens. No longer in use, a ‘secret tunnel’ runs from the rear garden to the chimney.
A prized and sought-after location, The Gardens is located on the fringe of the country village of Edgworth, within a stone’s throw of fantastic walks around The Jumbles and Wayoh and Entwistle reservoirs.
Dine out at nearby Giuseppe’s, a well-regarded Italian restaurant at the end of the drive. Edgworth itself is only a walk away with two pubs and a popular walking route.
Take the footpath passing Spillway to Bury Road or into the village. Turton Tower is a 15-minute walk away, while Jumbles Country Park is only a five-minute drive away.
There is a post box at the end of the drive and an excellent local Post Office in the village, alongside a butcher and a number of other shops, a local gp and pharmacy offering
same-day house deliveries.
Commute with ease from Bromley Cross Station, less than two miles from the door, or travel by road along the M65, a 15-minute drive away. Access the surrounding towns of Bolton, Blackburn and Bury with ease.
Local schooling is second to none, with a village primary school close by and Turton High School and Sixth Form around 10 minutes away by car.
Ideal for any family seeking the peace and sanctuary of the countryside, with connections to the city; Spillway is a unique and exclusive, spacious family home in an exceptionally quiet and peaceful setting.
