Lea Road, Heaton Moor, SK4

This beautifully presented and meticulously maintained five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached home is a rare blend of character and modern efficiency, offering the charm of the Arts and Crafts movement alongside thoughtful contemporary updates. Nestled just 300 metres from the vibrant heart of Heaton Moor Village, the property is ideally located for access to local cafés, bars, reputable schools and parks, and is within strolling distance of Heaton Chapel train station, making it a highly desirable home for families and professionals alike.

Stepping through the ornate tiled open porch and inset entrance, you are greeted by a large and welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the house. The front living room is a standout space, flooded with light from a generous bay window and anchored by a striking original inglenook fireplace with a decorative surround, a true hallmark of the home's Edwardian heritage. The second reception room, with dual-aspect windows, provides a flexible and light-filled area for relaxing or entertaining. To the rear, a well proportioned dining kitchen overlooks the gardens and offers direct access outside, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor living.

The first floor features a spacious main bedroom complete with a three-piece ensuite and a useful built-in storage cupboard. Two further well-sized bedrooms are also found on this level, along with a modern three-piece family bathroom and an additional storage cupboard on the landing. Upstairs, the second floor comprises two more charming bedrooms, one of which includes its own ensuite bathroom, and a separate store room offering valuable extra space.

Beneath the main living space, stairs lead down to a practical cellar, which has been thoughtfully adapted to include a utility room in the main chamber, with two adjoining storage rooms providing further functionality and organisation for modern family life.
Energy performance has been a key consideration in the home's upkeep. A new roof was fitted in 2017 and solar panels were installed at the same time, which currently help the vendors save approximately £650 annually on energy costs.

Externally, the home continues to impress. A driveway to the front includes an EV charging point and sits beneath a beautiful Acer tree, providing shade and a picturesque entrance. A gated side plot offers further outdoor space and flexibility, while to the rear, a remarkable South West-facing garden provides a peaceful retreat. Designed with a naturalistic ethos, the ‘wild garden’ is a sanctuary for birds, insects, and frogs, bordered by four towering poplar trees that offer privacy and a sense of seclusion rarely found in suburban settings.

This is a home that not only showcases timeless architecture and decorative detail but also meets the demands of contemporary living, making it an exceptional opportunity in a highly sought-after location.
