Hayfield Close, Greenmount

In the heart of Greenmount, with excellent access to nearby schools and transport links, seek sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life in the comfort and quiet of Hayfield Close.

From the main road, turn into Hunt Fold Drive, before taking a second left into Hayfield Close, where you leave the wider world behind. A quiet, peaceful road, yet less than an hour from Manchester and close to the fantastic network of local schools, No. 4, Hayfield Close offers the best of both worlds.

Park up on the driveway, or in the garage ahead, beside the neatly manicured lawn before making your way to the front door, with its attractive stained glass, and which opens into a lovely airy hallway.

Cosily carpeted underfoot, this light entrance hallway leads off to the large lounge on the left, where wooden flooring features underfoot.

Light streams in through the beautiful, broad bay window to the front, overlooking the verdant front lawn and mature, colourfully planted border, where an established hydrangea adds late summer colour.

Warmth emanates from the gas coal-effect fire, nestled within a handsome wooden surround and inset upon a cream hearth. Neutral tones create a contemporary, sophisticated feel, whilst to the rear a sweeping archway frames the open-plan dining room beyond. A tranquil space, curl up in front of the fire with a book on chilly winter nights.

Patio doors to the rear bring the outdoors in, providing instant access out from the spacious dining area into the garden, for alfresco dining on the patio. A homely, bright space, ideal for informal gatherings and festive feasts, or simply watching the wildlife visiting in the manicured mature garden to the rear.

Connecting through from the dining room is the kitchen, also accessible from the entrance hall.

Wood laminate flooring extends underfoot in the kitchen, a room filled with natural light from a large window overlooking the garden, above from the sink. Plenty of storage can be found in the traditional white cabinetry, with deep, built-in pantry storage also available. Furnished with a freestanding cooker, and integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, this kitchen is light and bright, with direct access out to the patio at the rear.

Reconnecting with the hallway, discover storage on the right beneath the stairs, across from a handy downstairs cloakroom with vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Ascend the oatmeal carpeted stairs to the first floor landing, where a hatch overhead provides access to the loft.

Overlooking the peaceful close to the front, and distant hills of Turton and Affetside, sleep soundly in an exceptionally sized double bedroom brimming in light and served by a wall of fitted wardrobes and separate, deep storage cupboard that runs behind the stairs.

At the rear of the home, bedroom three offers leafy vistas out over the garden to the rear, and with distant views out over the pretty greens close by, offering plenty of space for a double bed.

Also nestled to the rear, sharing these same pleasant views, a fourth bedroom currently serves as a peaceful and private study, ideal for those working from home.

Refresh and revive in the family bathroom, with white tiles banded in teal green to the walls, and furnished with a heated towel radiator, WC, wash basin and bath with shower over.

Sleep soundly in the principal bedroom, where neutral shades dress the carpet and walls, and plenty of space is available for a double bed and bedside tables. Built-in wardrobes offer ample storage, with pleasant views out over the quiet close to the front, and leafy views beyond.

Freshen up in the shower room, served by a large shower, heated ladder radiator for towels, wash basin and WC.

Recently remodelled, trees and bushes have been removed to invite an influx of light into the rear garden. Formal, raised tiers of walled borders bring colour through the seasons. Securely fenced to the rear, this is a safe and wholesome garden for families and pets.

A newly laid path offers a pleasant aspect from which to admire the garden. Ablaze with colour in the autumn, spectacular views await in September and October.

Private and not overlooked, soak up the sunshine in this peaceful, serene outdoor space.
