Longsight Road, Holcombe Brook

In the heart of Holcombe Brook, discover Longsight Road, a warm and welcoming family home where classic charm meets everyday comfort.

With its red brick and white render, leaded glass windows and a practical porch, character and comfort emanate from Longsight Road upon arrival. Parking is plentiful along the paved driveway, which is tucked away behind mature planting.

Slip off your shoes and coat in the porch, tiled underfoot, before emerging into the light and bright hall, where the bifurcated staircase rises up ahead, dividing to the right and left and leading to four generous bedrooms.

Fresh light grey walls and wood-effect flooring create a timeless first impression in the entrance hall, which leads to the sunny lounge. A broad bay window provides views over the driveway to the front, while deep cornicing borders the high ceiling above and soft carpeting offers warmth underfoot.

OWNER QUOTE: "The front lounge is bathed in afternoon and evening sun."

Next on the right, the spacious family room awaits, offering ample space for gathering and socialising. Carpeted underfoot, the Portuguese stone fireplace serves as a handsome focal point, housing a gas fire with a living flame. Light floods in through a large front-facing window and arched glass doors to the rear, which lead through to the sunroom.

Returning to the entrance hall, step into the kitchen - the culinary heart of the home. Spacious and bright, the slate-style Karndean flooring is both practical and stylish, complementing the surrounding light cream cabinetry, which provides plenty of storage for utensils and essentials.

An array of fitted Neff appliances meets every need, including a trio of ovens (steam oven, microwave-combi oven, and conventional oven), an induction hob, and a dishwasher. A Quooker instant boiling tap adds convenience. Light streams in through the stained-glass window, while a dining table fits neatly to one side.

From the kitchen, flow into the sunroom, a tranquil space with Karndean flooring underfoot, where doors open directly onto the garden, perfect for alfresco dining.

Private and peaceful, a home office overlooks the rear garden, providing a serene environment for those working from home. Loft access is also available above.

Returning to the open-plan kitchen-dining room, discover a spacious reception room, currently used as a boot room but ideal as a utility space. This room leads to a cloakroom with a wash basin and WC.

Back in the entrance hallway, beneath the panelled staircase, find ample storage for coats, a vacuum cleaner, or an ironing board. There is also access to the integral garage-a vast space brimming with potential, featuring a sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

From the entrance hallway, stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, branching both left and right to the bedroom wings.

To the right, the third bedroom is bright and spacious, with ample room for a double bed. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage, while enchanting views stretch out over the long, broad garden and the countryside beyond.

Next door, the principal bedroom offers both space and serenity. A wall of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and drawers provides generous storage, while elegant cornicing graces the ceiling. Carpeted underfoot, there is ample room for a king-size bed, and the window frames far-reaching views over the rear garden and beyond.

A further guest bedroom, featuring Scandinavian-style sliding-door wardrobes, is positioned at the front of the home. Light pours in through the beautiful bay window, offering views of Holcombe Hill. Throughout the home, original period doors enhance the character.

Refresh and unwind in the first of two family bathrooms, where a large bath with a shower attachment invites relaxation. A WC, wash basin, and heated towel radiator complete the space.

To the left of the staircase, bedroom four is peacefully positioned at the rear of the home. With built-in storage-an feature in each of the bedrooms-this room is ideal as a child's bedroom or a home office.

A large roof tunnel allows light to stream into the landing as you continue to the contemporary shower room. A privacy wall separates the WC, while the double walk-in shower is tiled in slate grey. Plenty of fitted storage includes a vanity unit with drawers beneath the wash basin and a large LED mirror above.

Step outside onto the patio terrace, an ideal space for alfresco dining. Multiple patio areas allow you to follow the sun throughout the day.

A picture of classic English charm, with a lush green lawn stretching out to the rear, the peaceful garden is also bordered by mature planting. Established trees offer plenty of privacy, and, when in full leaf, they create a natural screen at the garden's edge.

A plum tree stands at the bottom of the lawn, alongside two gooseberry bushes that produce a prolific harvest most years. In autumn, the garden comes alive with colour, with a large acer glowing like embers on the right-hand side. Early spring brings the first signs of new life, with delicate snowdrops and daffodils appearing in abundance.
There is plenty of space for children to enjoy outdoor games, from football to hide and seek. Secure boundaries and a gated entrance provide peace of mind for families with children and pets.
