Luxury Meets Location

Nestled in secluded south-facing grounds, this four-bedroom detached family home has been finished to exacting standards, using high-quality materials, fixtures and fittings throughout. The property also benefits from direct BT Fibre broadband and a recently replaced open-plan dining kitchen, while the spacious double bedrooms have all been refreshed and redecorated.

Dating back to the 1800s, when it was a coach house for a nearby manor, the house has been reconfigured and extended to create a uniquely quirky, characterful home retaining some of the original beams upstairs.  

You’ll find Number 39 just a few minutes’ walk from Prestwich Village and local tram stops in a safe and leafy residential street of detached homes. Here, wrought-iron double gates flanked by red-brick walls open onto a sweeping driveway beside a raised front lawn bordered by mature screening trees and tall hedgerows. This leads to a spacious parking area by the garage. 

Living the Dream

Follow the rendered exterior, with its pretty arched windows, round to the front, where statement lantern lights and a semi-circular step frame an impressive entrance featuring panelled double doors set with stained glass and full-height side windows.

Stepping into the spot-lit porch, you instantly feel drawn in by the coved white walls and Amtico flooring that flows throughout the ground floor. Head straight into the stunning dining kitchen, where you’re greeted by sleek high-gloss cabinetry with Cosentino Silestone worktops (with a 23-year warranty) facing a supersized waterfall island bar trimmed with LED lighting.

Large dual-aspect windows, recessed downlights, and feature pendants ensure the perfect lighting level whether you’re making breakfast or enjoying a quiet evening drink from the wine cooler on the built-in seat. Other integrated appliances and fittings include a double Belfast sink with a pull-out tap, a Lamona oven and microwave, an electric hob with a Hotpoint angled extractor, fridge-freezers, a dishwasher, and laundry appliances.

Contemporary Chic

Just off the kitchen, you’ll discover an orangery flooded with natural light from the French doors and windows to the garden. A pitched wood-clad roof makes it a lovely, airy space for working, reading, yoga or entertaining.

Meanwhile, steps from the kitchen lead through a spot-lit hall with in-build cupboards and access to a fully tiled high-spec WC into the living room. Here, a large south-facing window brightens a cosy seating area warmed by a pyramid log burner backdropped by a stone surround.

Beyond, a few steps then rise to an additional carpeted snug or formal dining room, separated from the living room by open bannisters. A chandelier pendant draws the eye to the high, coved ceiling and complements that elegant arched fanlight window.

Sweet Slumber

Return to the kitchen to find the half-landing staircase, which begins with curved steps framed by twisted iron handrails. The Amtico flooring continues on the landing, which is lit by antique brass industrial wall lights and broad windows with fitted wooden shutters. 

All four double bedrooms have recently been decorated in crisp white tones and feature high-quality laminate flooring, apart from bedroom four, which has a soft grey carpet. On one side of the landing, you’ll discover a dual-aspect master with in-built wardrobes and secret doors revealing an en suite bathroom featuring hotel-quality format tiles, a large shower enclosure, a chrome heated towel rail, and modern sanitaryware.

Adjoining the master, bedroom four would make the perfect nursery, while on the other side of the stairs, you’ll find a split-level spot-lit double featuring triple-aspect windows with wooden shutters and in-built wardrobes. Bedroom two lies at the end of the landing and exudes character with its pitched ceiling, original beams, and arched fanlight window to match the snug.

Meanwhile, gorgeous high-end floor and wall tiles line a large family bathroom containing a bath and pedestal basin with traditional tapware, a separate shower, a chrome heated towel rail and a close-coupled toilet – all brightened by ceiling spots and a wide casement window.

Step Outside

From the tree-filled lawn beside the driveway, a sweeping stone terrace edged with established raised stone flower and shrub borders stretches along the front of the house. Trees also screen the steps leading onto a large south-facing lawn with plenty of room for kids to play while the adults watch from the hot tub on the partly hidden side patio. 

Everywhere you look, you’ll spot a wide variety of flowers, shrubs and towering trees that completely shelter the garden, creating a private and secure oasis only minutes from the heart of Prestwich. You can also access the garden from the kitchen and French doors in the orangery.

On Your Doorstep

Prestwich is a town in Bury, Greater Manchester, just 3.3 miles north of Manchester city centre (c. 10 mins), 3.1 miles north of Salford and 4.7 miles south of Bury. It’s a popular area well-known for its thriving Jewish community, with many Jewish-run businesses, shops, and delicatessens along Bury New Road, Kings Road and Bury Old Road. The Longfield Precinct also regularly holds artisan fairs, as does the Red Lion pub.

Many of our local sellers have loved frequenting Prestwich Village, which hosts delights such as Cuckoo for a weekend breakfast, All the Shapes, Remal for Lebanese cuisine, Anatolian Grill for Mediterranean eats, and OSMA – as seen in the Michelin Guide. Alternatively, pop into Wine and Wallop for great food and open mic nights, Tuk Tuk for amazing Thai food, or quirky drinking spots such as The Pearl and The Crooked Man.

Of course, you’ll find plenty of other options locally, from shopping precincts and budget and high-end supermarkets to pubs, bars, restaurants and bakeries. It’s also just a short ride by tram or taxi to Manchester, Whitefield, and Bury – or Altrincham and Didsbury within 30 mins.

Despite Prestwich’s proximity to the city centre, several open green spaces lie on your doorstep, including 490 acres to explore at Prestwich Forest Park and the championship golf course at Heaton Park, which hosts annual food, drink, and music festivals. Across the road, St Mary’s Park has a great playground and tennis courts. Sporting types of all ages will also enjoy easy access to Bury Athletics Club – a great for beginners right up to competition level.

The current owners also enjoy taking the dog for a walk along Prestwich Clough, a 24.12-acre Site of Biological Importance that affords a beautiful river walk through Drinkwater Park. Walks can be as short as 20 minutes, or you can take the day walking to Clifton Marina for a pub lunch. The Clough also has well-maintained and exclusive mountain bike tracks.

Getting around is also a breeze, thanks to the local Metrolink tram stations and numerous bus routes that connect the town to the wider area, several of which are within walking distance – perfect for nipping into town without the hassle of parking, where you can pick up National Rail services from Piccadilly. The M60 ring road also grants easy access to the motorway network surrounding Manchester, with the nearby M62 linking Leeds to Liverpool. 

Education-wise, several well-rated primary schools sit within walking distance or a short drive, along with four secondaries (including faith schools) and two colleges in Bury. Independent options, including Prestwich Prep (5 minutes by car) and Manchester Junior Girls and Tashbar School, are also available nearby. In addition, Prestwich is on the bus route to Bury Grammar.
