Lumber Lane, Worsley

Is this the rarest home in Worsley? 

With just two recorded transactions on record in the past 100 years, this distinguished 18th Century farmhouse is as rare as it is remarkable.    

Welcome to Spinney End.

Rarely does a home of such heritage and exclusivity come to market. 

Dating back pre-1770, Spinney End is without doubt one of Worsley’s most notable properties.  

Set within an exclusive enclave bordering Roe Green and Beesley Green in the most enchanting of landscapes, this one-of-a-kind property spans 2,830 sq. ft. and offers a secluded retreat surrounded by mature woodland, just moments from Worsley’s finest amenities. 

The house is set back from Lumber Lane tucked away behind stately electric gates for privacy and security. Steeped in history yet thoughtfully restored and reimagined for modern living, this cherished residence is a true hidden gem.  

Step Inside

As you approach, take a moment to admire the handcrafted wooden-framed porch, draped in cascading wisteria, a prelude to the beauty within.

Exuding timeless charm and packed to the brim with original finds and features, this house does not disappoint on period detailing - solid oak flooring underfoot, exposed beams overhead, cast iron column radiators and deep skirting framing each space.

A Home of Grandeur & Character

The spectacular 23ft reception room sets a tone of refined elegance. With wooden beams, decorative panelling, a magnificent stone fireplace and original parquet flooring, this sophisticated space can accommodate sizeable groups, so if you have a big family or love inviting friends over there’s plenty of room.

To the right of the hall, the formal dining room and second sitting room enjoy dual-aspect views over the front and rear gardens. With a multi-fuel stove, traditional detailing, and generous proportions, this is a space designed for intimate dinners, relaxed reading, or fireside conversation.

The Heart of the Home

The heart of the home is a culinary haven, ideal for both everyday meal preparation and more ambitious culinary creations. This natural gathering space is anchored by a statement central island and boasts a top-of-the-range Lacanche stove, double Belfast sink with traditional tapware, custom cabinetry, handcrafted worktops, and bespoke shelving. Seamlessly combining rustic form and classic functionality, this kitchen orangery maximises the natural light thanks to the huge roof lantern. Bi-fold doors enhance the look and frame the fabulous view of the garden and woodland beyond.

A thoughtfully designed downstairs WC and a sunlit rear hallway complete this floor. 

The Magnificence Continues Upstairs

Ascending the staircase, the first-floor galleried landing reveals three distinctive bedrooms, each with unique architectural merit.

Brimming with character, the exposed 265-year-old timbers and exposed brickwork is softened by luxury carpet, plush textures, and soothing tones. 

The principal suite is an opulent space with luxurious accents, statement lighting and enviable proportions, having been reconfigured from two separate bedrooms. It enjoys a wonderful vista over the grounds and being dual aspect, is bathed in natural light. The adjoining bathroom is beautifully designed with walk in rainfall shower, Burlington sanitaryware and quality fixtures and fittings in keeping with the era. 

The main bathroom is a sanctuary of indulgence, where a freestanding bath takes centre stage beneath chandelier lighting. Handmade Italian tiling and a nature-inspired view creates a calm, spa-like ambience in which to unwind and escape.

Finished to an impeccable standard throughout, no expense has been spared in the extensive restoration undertaken by the current owner.

A Garden Oasis 

Surrounded by established trees, mature shrubs, purple bougainvillea, and wide, lush green lawns, the gardens at Spinney End are completely private and not overlooked.

A large stone terrace and sun-drenched patio offer the perfect setting for alfresco dining, family gatherings, or quiet contemplation.

For those who cherish outdoor living, the expansive outdoor space is a paradise. Whether hosting summer soirées or simply soaking in the tranquillity of nature, the sense of seclusion is unparalleled.

A sweeping cobbled driveway provides ample parking for multiple cars, complemented by a well-equipped double garage with EV charging point and a rear workshop.

Adding to the property’s charm is a brick-built outbuilding, originally the groundsman’s quarters, now transformed into a high-end multi-purpose workout studio—complete with unusual corner fireplace.
