Mayfield Road, Holcombe Brook

Character, history and comfort combine at Mayfield Road, a classic home respectfully renovated and reimagined by its current owners, offering modern family living with fantastic views, in a tranquil setting, where countryside combines with convenient access to village amenities.

Sophisticated living
With its arched doorway and impressive monochrome gable front, No. 1, Mayfield Road stands proudly, instantly visible, whilst peacefully set back from the road. The pillared entrance to the driveway allows for the addition of gates, with plenty of parking available to the front. Confirmation from the council has been recently obtained to widen the driveway, by removing two metres of grass and pavement at the front.

Making your way to the main entrance of this handsome, 1930s semi-detached home, mature shrubs provide a buffer of privacy to the front, with a good-sized lawn edged in borders.

Arched double doors provide entrance to the porch, a handy space with original chequered black and white tiling underfoot, ideal for the removal of coats and shoes, whilst attractive stained-glass features in the internal door, opening up to the entrance hall beyond.

Character and comfort
Inside, the traditional character of the home shines through, with beautiful stained-glass windows to both the front door and staircase to the side showering light through. A home that has kept in step with the times, the current owners have worked hard to make respectful modernisations throughout, retaining the original picture rails with an extensive programme of re-plastering, redecoration and new furnishing seen throughout, alongside the installation of a new boiler.

Newly installed oak flooring flows out underfoot, continuing through to the right in the spacious and bright lounge. Chic and serene, the lounge showcases the sophisticated contemporary decorative style found throughout, with a soft grey-white palette to the walls and featuring an impressive, glass-fronted Flamerite Gotham 900 fireplace. Plantation shutters dress the bay window to the front, with a designer radiator to one wall.

A warm welcome
Next door, on the right, the rear sitting room is a cosy haven, with Laura Ashley flourishes in the feature wallpaper and plantation shutters adorning the bountiful bay window which captures verdant views of the private back garden.

Warmth emanates from the gas, log burner effect stove, enhancing the cosy ambience of this spacious and peaceful room, where oak wood flooring continues underfoot.

Returning to the light and airy entrance hall, beyond the panelled staircase, discover a handy understairs cloakroom with wash basin and WC, before making your way right, into the open and airy kitchen-dining room.

Savour the view
Shaker style units provide plenty of storage space, with ample preparation space on the granite worktops. An array of integrated appliances includes an induction hob, Bosch oven, grill and microwave, whilst there is also space for a freestanding fridge-freezer and dishwasher. Views extend out over the garden. There is also a handy utility room with sink, plumbing for a tumble dryer and further storage.

Flow through into the conservatory, accessed via glazed double doors with feature stained-glass. Offering an instant connection to the garden, views beckon you outdoors, where you can dine alfresco on the patio.

Soak and sleep
From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, carpeted in cream, where a separate WC is found on the left, with modern vanity unit wash basin and heated towel radiator.

On the main landing, to the left, arrive at the first of three double bedrooms. Currently a peaceful nursery, dressed in duck egg blue, this tranquil bedroom offers views out over the garden from one side and out to the countryside from another window.

Back on the landing, to the left lies the master bedroom, a cosy, peaceful and warm sanctuary where an abundance of storage can be found in the newly fitted wardrobes. Designer radiators feature in the upstairs bedrooms, whilst tranquil, contemporary decorative shades maintain the motif seen throughout the home. Verdant views extend out over the well-stocked borders of the garden to Peel Tower in the distance.

Bedroom two is another bountiful bedroom, with original picture rail, ample space for a double bed and freestanding furniture, and far-reaching views to the front out in the direction of Manchester.

Refresh and revive
Revive your senses in the luxurious bathroom, where the underfloor heating can be adjusted by the thermostat control outside. Furnished with a large, walk-in, wet room shower with drench head, there is also a chrome heated towel radiator alongside a wide vanity unit wash basin and WC.

There is also a large loft with impressive head height to be found above, with unique chimney feature.

Outdoor oasis
Outside, the mature garden is large and wraps around the home, beautifully stocked with established planting and trees, and secure to the front and sides, making it ideal for children and pets.

Soaking up the sunshine throughout the day, this garden is private and peaceful, with plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind in the sunshine or shade. Dine alfresco on the patio or relax with a drink as the children play on the large lawn.

A garden that comes to life in the springtime, two large cherry blossoms to the front burst with colour. There is also a handy shed at the rear for your gardening tools and furniture.
