A handsomely appointed mid-terraced period property, historically dating back to 1895, and so enjoying a wealth of characterful features. The row of four terraced properties it sits with are fondly named ''Brookbank'' and they are pleasantly situated on the outskirts of High Lane/Marple, with this particular property enjoying spacious extended accommodation which has been meticulously updated throughout to provide extremely well presented accommodation with high quality fixtures and fittings as well as characterful picture rails, dado rails and original stripped and revealed internal doors throughout, traditionally laid out over two floors yet offering further scope to extend the living space into the loft if required, to include dormer to the rear and falling within permitted development.The property enjoys an attractive frontage, with front garden enclosed by stone walling and cast iron gate, beautiful ornate brick detailing to the front facade of the property, as well as covered storm porch leading to the front door. The property benefits from a unique garden to the rear, having a traditional paved courtyard and outbuilding to the immediate rear, with a further ‘secret garden’ with gated access, which is privately tucked away and unusually generous for this type of property, offering an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the views over adjoining countryside to the rear.
Internally, accommodation comprises welcoming entrance hallway, beautifully presented sitting room having picture rails and feature wood burning stove with oak mantle, with built in period style cupboards and shelving to either side of the chimney breast. The living/dining/kitchen is of exceptional size for a property of its type, with attractive stone flooring and traditional shaker style fitted kitchen complimented further with quality oak working surfaces and having stable door access to the rear gardens.
The first floor and landing reveals two bedrooms, both of good size with the second bedroom enjoying pleasant views over the open countryside to the rear and both being serviced by the family bathroom, fitted with a white three piece suite including bath with rain head shower over.
As mentioned earlier, the garden deserves a special mention, having a courtyard and outbuilding to the immediate rear, then gated access to the further garden area where there is a raised patio and large lawned area, all adjoining the open countryside to the rear.
The property is located on the outskirts of High Lane, having High Lane’s vibrant village center close by where an array of local parks, cafés, shops, pubs, commuter links and excellent schools are available. Marple is also not far, where further local amenities including supermarkets can be easily reached. For outdoor pursuits, Lyme Park, canal side and countryside walks are easily accessible. For the commuter, easy access to the Manchester Airport relief road is worth noting, as well as bus routes and Marple/Hazel Grove train station being close by.
The property is warmed by gas central heating which is further complimented by uPVC double glazing. An early viewing of this property is advised to avoid disappointment.
