Spencer Road, Whitley, Wigan, WN1 2PW

Morgan H Lewis are delighted to bring this distinctive and stunning Victorian residence to market.Having been sold only a handful of times in the past, this incredible home is now looking to find its new custodian.

Having been mostly restored by the current owners, this house is ideally suited to someone looking for a truly impressive home, which they are still able to put their own stamp on.

The property maintains many of the stunning original features that one would expect with a property of this age, style and calibre which have been lovingly blended with modern day comforts.

Occupying a delightful position along this highly sought-after road with the rear garden leading down to the beautiful Whitley Mere, the home brims with charm and character, from the initial approach all the way to the water behind.

Originally built in the late 1800's, the opulent layout of this home extends to in excess of 2.400 square feet and arranged around a stunning central and original hallway.

The property is situated on the edge of the sought-after area of Whitley, close to not only the town centre and the excellent Wood Field primary school but the beautiful Haigh Country Estate which offers over 250 acres of rural walks and woodlands, Mesnes Park and Wigan town centre with a host of shops and amenities, as well as excellent schools and transport links via the M6 and M61 motorways, proving that having the balance between a peaceful life and excellent commuter links is possible.

Upon entering the impressive entrance hallway, the feeling of heritage and tradition is evident with a stunning dark wood carved staircase, original mosaic floor tiling and light windows leading from the vestibule. The spacious hallway leads onto the rest of the downstairs accommodation, starting with the front living space, which is beautifully appointed, with original oak fireplace surround painted original wooden floorboards, lovely high ceilings with ornate coving and picture rails and a large walk in bay window flooding the room with natural light. The second living space is again a spacious and brimming with character, with original fireplace and bay window looking out over the rear aspects. The rear of the property, which was previously three rooms, has been opened up, providing a lovely, bright space with bi-fold doors perfectly framing the picturesque setting to the rear. The property is in need of a new bespoke kitchen. Allowing the next owner the once in a lifetime opportunity to create a truly fabulous, enviable space. Finally to the ground floor there is a handy w.c.

To the first floor, the large landing gives access to five bedrooms. Bedroom two, a large double to the rear, has a handy ensuite and offers lovely views over Whitley Reservoir, bedroom three also shares the views, has access to the family bathroom and a lovely cast iron fireplace. The master bedroom, which runs the entire width of the property, is truly stunning, featuring a mirrored bay window with sash windows, ornate fireplace and access to the third floor ensuite and dressing room/bedroom five, which has been recently renovated to a high standard, with traditional style tiling, walk in shower with overhead shower head, basing and w.c. Velux skylights make this a lovely bright space.

Externally, the property rests in an idyllic location, with driveway parking and mature planting, whilst there is a fabulous rear garden which leads down to the edge of the Mere, an ideal spot to enjoy the tranquillity of such a unique location, being mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs to the perimeter, with two separate patio spaces to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun.

This truly amazing home does require some work to bring it to its true potential, but offers a rare opportunity to purchase of the most beautiful landmark homes in this location.

We would highly recommend a prompt inspection of this fabulous home to avoid disappointment.
