West Bank, Walmersley Road, BL9

A most magnificent period detached residence dating from the latter part of the Victorian Era, thoughtfully and thoroughly restored to exacting standards by our vendors over the last 8 years. No expense has been spared in recreating the authenticity of the period whilst blending modern convenience to create a truly outstanding home. The property is located on Walmersley Road approximately 1 mile from Bury town centre and a similar distance to the nearest motorway junction. To the rear is Walmersley Old Road, Chadwick Fold (we are informed was a staging post for the original horse drawn tram system). The countryside at Nangreaves, Deeply Vale and Burrs Country Park are all within walking distance. Our vendors are to be congratulated on their presentation and internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate the attention to detail throughout. The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance porch, inner hall with original spindled staircase, lounge with woodburning stove, stunning kitchen/dining room, morning room, guest cloakroom, basement utility with potential to create further living space, first floor landing, three double bedrooms, office and sumptuous bathroom. To the outside there is a garden forecourt and to the rear a professionally landscaped patio garden with driveway for two, electric vehicle charging station and store room. There is the benefit of approved planning in the loft for a further two bedrooms, ensuite bathroom and walk in wardrobes.
