Kings Drive, Heaton Moor, Stockport, SK4

An exquisite five bedroom late-Victorian period family home on the prestigious Kings Drive in Heaton Moor offered to the market promising a seamless blend of character and contemporary throughout that will naturally appeal to growing families seeking exceptional accommodation. Built in 1894, the property boasts over 3100 square feet spanning over four floors and a much larger-than-average garden for a period home in the Heatons. A true Heatons Gem, offered chain-free and in a location where properties rarely grace the market and even more scarcely in this condition, an internal inspection is essential to appreciate the home on offer.

King’s Drive holds prime position as one of the most sought-after and prestigious streets in the Heatons boasting enviable family homes in a location that is second to none. Situated a stone’s throw from the high street on Heaton Moor Road, the plethora of bars, retail and independent shops provides residents with a wonderful variety of amenities to enjoy. The street is also zoned for superb local primary and secondary schools making the setting especially appealing to growing families.

Entering through the hallway, the ground floor is briefly comprised of: inviting and spacious hallway enjoying ample light from the original period leaded light windows at the front door with views throughout the property from front-to-back. Double doors lead through to a spacious open-plan living/family room boasting triple aspect windows to front, side and rear with a large characteristic Victorian bay window with encapsulated original windows that is south-facing, allowing for ample natural light during the day. A useful WC may be found off the hallway. Completing the ground floor is the immaculate open-plan kitchen/diner leaving little to be desired throughout – this superb space features bespoke premium fitted units, a large island to the centre, three skylights to the dining area and bi-folds to the garden. A range of NEFF premium appliances are also integrated including but not limited to a full-height fridge, freezer, dishwasher, double pyrolytic ovens and a coffee machine. A Quooker Tap features to the centre of the kitchen island. The entire ground floor benefits from zoned underfloor heating beneath a mixture of oak flooring to the hallway and living area and tiling to the kitchen/diner.

Single flight stairs to the lower ground floor open onto a second hallway with storage for coats and shoes, a utility area underneath the stairs and a versatile storage room to the front. Double doors open onto a spacious and versatile reception room currently utilised as a games room ideal for growing families to use as they please with similar proportions to the living room upstairs and a south-facing window allowing for a light and airy space. A further window to the rear may also be found in this room. A second hallway to the rear features a Rock door granting access to the garden, a further WC and a second storage room, which houses the condensing Worcester Bosch boiler alongside a modern immersion heater. This floor has been fully tanked and finished to building regulation standard (call branch for details), features underfloor heating, includes approximately two metres of head height and a premium Delta pumping system.

To the first floor, three well-proportioned and very generous double bedrooms may be found ideal for the growing family with even the smallest of the rooms featuring dimensions that dwarf those of principal rooms in other homes and each of them including integrated wardrobes. The principal room to the front of this exceptional home spans the entire width of the house, features its own characteristic south-facing bay window and a cleverly-configured en-suite shower room with its own internal window allowing for a lighter-than-average en-suite space. The modern family bath/shower room finishes this floor with a mixture of contemporary and mosaic tiling, a four-piece suite with walk-in shower and in-set bath, and low-level lighting.

Stairs to the top floor grant access to two more double bedrooms each lit with a combination of windows and skylights and the front bedroom including integrated wardrobes and a walk-in storage room to the eaves. A final family bathroom completes this floor with modern tiling, a three-piece suite and a skylight.

Externally, there is a driveway offering off-street parking for two cars, one of which may be found to the front and the second to the rear via the shared driveway. To the rear, the landscaped garden is particularly generous for a property of this age and consists of a mixture of raised Indian Stone patio, middle patio, and lawn. It enjoys the sun throughout the day in the majority of the garden and features the late evening sun from the west to the paved patio area. A useful storage shed offers extra opportunity for external storage.

Other notable features of this impeccable home include electric gates, a fully-fitted CCTV and alarm system, and recent replacement work to the charming decorative fascia hardwood on the façade of the property.
