CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TOUR

Ready & Waiting 

Completely re-designed by Home Design and Build – reputable local builders renowned for their exceptional finishes – this high-spec four-storey home in the heart of Ramsbottom breaks the mould of the typical terraced property.

Inside, the living space extends from an incredible converted basement level to two floors of immaculate receptions, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms (served by a pressurised hot water tank) before ending on the top-floor master suite. 

A sunny southeast raised terrace and garden and private off-road parking wrap up the exterior.

Land with Potential

Adjacent lies another expansive garden brimming with potential. This area offers ample space to accommodate a purpose-built home office or studio. Additionally, there's the option to extend the existing area, thereby increasing parking options or expanding family or entertaining spaces.

Given its size, this section even holds potential for future planning and development, while country walks, stunning scenery across to Peel Tower, and fabulous bars, pubs, shops, and eateries await on your doorstep.

Come On In

While you’ll find extensive parking to the rear, come to the front to appreciate the home’s smart stone exterior, where stone lintels highlight the black-framed sash windows matching a traditional panelled front door with chrome furniture.

Passing a pretty flower border trimming the patio, step through into a bright porch and a glazed door leading to the hallway beyond. From a high ceiling with restored original ornamental plasterwork to the Karndean herringbone flooring underfoot, the first impression reflects the quality found throughout.

Live Well

To your right lies a lovely and inviting lounge lit by LED spots, a central pendant and twin front-facing sash windows. The plush carpet underfoot perfectly complements the subtle paintwork, while the original restored mouldings and a wooden mantle above the rendered fireplace infuse the space with character.

Just behind the lounge, stairs descend to the lower ground floor. Here, you’ll discover an oversized reception room where chunky beams and LEDs overlook contemporary décor and another thick carpet, all warmed by triple-column period-style radiators.

Further lit by a big window and a glazed garden door and featuring several plug sockets and integrated storage, this space would suit numerous purposes – think epic cinema/gaming room, home office, gym, or kids’ playroom.

An identically decorated bedroom with a three-piece en suite shower room adjoins this versatile area, so this floor could also be the perfect pad for teenagers or guests. 

The Entertaining Hub

Back on the ground floor, a super chic kitchen lies to the rear, flooded in light from the French doors to the raised terrace, LEDs, and stylish hanging pendants above the Calacatta Italian marble-topped island bar.

Meanwhile, gold-plated cup handles pop against matt-grey shaker-style cabinetry and match the sink and plug sockets for a luxe finish, echoed by the stone tiled floor, triple column radiator, and the reproduction coving to the high ceiling.

As you might expect, the kitchen has a full suite of integrated appliances, including an electric island hob with a concealed extractor, a double oven and microwave with warming drawer, a wine fridge, and a concealed fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. 

Combined with the dining room beyond – which boasts French doors to the terrace and a self-cleaning roof lantern crowing the Karndean herringbone floor – the kitchen allows you to easily host family and friends, whatever the time of year.

First Floor Luxury

Upstairs, the plush carpeting and soft wall tones on the landing continue into two fantastically sized double bedrooms featuring striking focal panelling and large windows to draw in plenty of natural light.

Across the landing in the spot-lit family bathroom, you’ll discover a gorgeous monochromatic blend of micro-cement walls and dark matt fixtures and detailing to contrast with spotless white sanitaryware, further brightened by a back-lit mirror above the modern vanity basin and a large frosted window.

Choose between a bubbly soak in the freestanding double-ended bath or steam in the huge walk-in rainfall shower while your towel warms on the heated rail beside it.

The Master Suite

Continue now to the top floor, where another oversized bedroom with cosy carpeting overlooks a serene, leafy landscape through two big windows. Like the bedrooms below, it’s warmed by a vertical cast-iron radiator and illuminated with LEDs, plus there’s in-built storage available on the landing.

However, it’s the four-piece, marble-tiled en suite that really steals the show. Here, a Velux window provides sky views above the double-ended bath, while a walk-in rainfall shower and a funky flat-panel heated towel rail round things off.

Step Outside

Return to the kitchen or dining room, where French doors open directly onto a raised terrace with attractive paving, enclosed by slatted fencing and a glass balustrade, which gives the effect of standing on a balcony overlooking the southeast-facing lawn.

Outdoor lights and in-built seating create the perfect atmosphere for evening parties, while steps lead down to a large gravelled driveway and an enclosed storage area extending along the southwest-facing side garden.

Screened by slatted fencing, brick walls, and mature trees and shrubs, the lower level culminates in a generously sized lawn bordered by raised planters. Adjacent lies another expansive garden brimming with potential. This area offers ample space to accommodate a purpose-built home office or studio. Additionally, there's the option to extend the existing area, thereby increasing parking options or expanding family or entertaining spaces. Given its size, this section even holds potential for future planning and development.

On Your Doorstep

Nestled on River Irwell in the West Pennine Moors, the delightful market town of Ramsbottom lies 3.9 miles northwest of Bury and 12 miles from Manchester. It boasts popular shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars, including an award-winning brewery, while Victorian architecture and the East Lancashire Railway offer a glimpse into its industrial past.

In the town centre, stop by the Theatre Royal for some culture and make sure you’re around for the highly tempting Ramsbottom chocolate festival and the annual black-pudding throwing world championships allegedly dating back to the War of the Roses. There are also plenty of amenities, such as supermarkets, a library, a dentist and a leisure centre, to cater to your day-to-day needs.

The surrounding rural landscape provides endless walks and days out, including Holcombe Hill – home to the historic Peel Monument and a great viewing point for stargazing or watching firework displays – and several parks and nature reserves on your doorstep.

The local section of the Irwell Sculpture Trail in nearby Nuttall Park is another popular route, but across the river, you’ll also find a waterside sports stadium, football and cricket club. Within an hour’s drive, you can explore the Peak District and Yorkshire Dale National Parks, the Forest of Bowland AONB, and the West Coast.

Schooling-wise, you have various options just minutes away, including the Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ St Andrew’s CE Primary, Woodhey Secondary in Holcombe Brook, and Rossendale Special School, also rated ‘Good’. You’ll also find grammar schools in nearby Rossendale and Bury.   

The riverside setting and heritage railway continue in Bury, named the Greater Manchester Town of Culture in 2021. Make sure you pick up fresh produce from the market or take advantage of the town’s Purple Flag status whenever you fancy a night out. The Met is also renowned for its English folk festivals, comedy and theatre. On a more practical note, you’ll find a local hospital and healthcare amenities here, too. 

Travelling around the area is simple. Hop onto the M66 running alongside the town to join the M62 and M60 for quick links to Manchester (12 miles), Liverpool (40m), and Leeds (45m). You can also reach Chorlton Street in Manchester by bus, an hourly service that runs from the stop by St Paul’s Church, or hop on a train at Entwistle station for a 45-minute commute. Additionally, Bromley Cross station runs Northern line services and trains to London Euston (c. 3 hours).
