Cartmel Close, Gatley, Cheadle, SK8 4QP

The question for this one is - can a bathroom be the reason you bought THE house?  Honestly, the highlights of this one are too many for one headline sentence - no chain, true bungalow, modern décor throughout, fully renovated, landscaped gardens, scope for garage conversion, quiet cul-de-sac, high end kitchen and bathroom, ideal for downsizers, first time buyers and more. The list just keeps growing and growing with every aspect of this home so it's easier to simply say book your viewing today and start preparing your offer.

This bungalow holds a secret though, it has flipped the script on what a bungalow means. It no longer means retirement or a certain need for single floor living. Due to it's size and layout it feels more like a family home which will attract families, first time buyers and young professionals alike. 

Now we know estate agents love hyperbole but there aren't enough words in the estate agent jargon handbook to describe this one. Let's start with the location, you're going to be living on the sought after Lakes Estate but on top of that this bungalow is set in a cul-de-sac which means you can chuck the kids out to play safely! This is a perfect location for a range of buyers but you're just around the corner from Gatley village which means you've got everything on your doorstep from restaurants, bars, shops, churches, parks, schools and more. But if you're looking to go slightly further afield you've got easily accessible motorway networks, bus routes and of course the train station meaning commuting couldn't be easier to the hotspots like The Trafford Centre, Media City, the Universities and the Airport.

Let's get back to the star of the show though. Warning in advance though, expect many adjectives because this really is a stunner.

Set back from the road this detached bungalow has a small front garden set alongside a long tandem driveway for several vehicles with a garage at the end of the drive but more on that one later... The entrance to the home is at the side and the hallway offers the first glimpse of the high end finish to this home with the exquisite tiling leading from the entrance all the way to the living space. 

Heading down the hallway to the left you'll approach the open plan living kitchen room where the tiling continues. This area will be the heart of the home with a high end kitchen installed and leaving space for a living area and a dining table, most families pay thousands to create a space like this within their home. This room also starts showing off the features this era of build are famous for - natural light! With two large windows and french doors this room is flooded with light drawing the outside in (and it's a cracking view too over the landscaped gardens with established treeline behind!). However this home is versatile - there is nothing stopping you using this space as an open plan kitchen diner and just using the front room as the living room but similarly it is also large enough to mean you could simply use this as the sole living space and the front room as a bedroom! The choice is yours and the bungalow will flex for your needs.

The superb décor is on full display in the open plan kitchen and you'll realise that you may not need to lift a paintbrush or a screwdriver for a long time yet but the star of the show is just back out onto the corridor and into THAT bathroom.

There aren't enough words to describe the opulence of this bathroom. Smartly designed to incorporate a wet room with a large freestanding bath alongside those stunning art deco inspired tiles, colours and metallic highlights. The Great Gatsby would be proud to have a bathroom like this in his home! If you can't imagine yourself sat in that bath with a cold beverage and book after a hard day at work are you even living?

Across the hallway is the smaller bedroom which is currently set up as a single bedroom with a pull out bed underneath but this could easily be a large office space or even a double bedroom for guests again highlighting the versatile living space this home hides. If you're working from home this could be the perfect space for you. 

Heading back down the hall there is a handy storage cupboard for the vacuum cleaner and shoes as well as the living room to the front and two further bedrooms.

The living room currently has a large three seater sofa and wall mounted TV creating a beautiful snug to unwind and watch a film. Again the room benefits from having a large off-centre window and being off-centre it's almost like this room was designed for having a wall mounted TV creating a truly cinematic experience! However if you are in need of more bedroom space there is nothing stopping you using this room as an additional bedroom.

The principal bedroom is exceptionally generous and comes with fitted wardrobes and drawers with the final bedroom across hallway that currently has a double bed and drawers.

If you're feeling adventurous and up for a challenge this bungalow could be for you as the garage is currently used for storage but if you've got an eye for design or a hunger for building this could easily be converted into a living room, gym, office, additional bedroom, formal dining room or more. If you converted it into a living room there is nothing stopping you chopping the living up to provide two en-suites for the main bedrooms or simply switch the living room into a bedroom. You could even go completely rogue and add a door from the patio then chuck a hot tub and bar in there!

Talking of the patio, it makes up part of the landscaped gardens that is a mix of lawn and tile but is a true BBQ king's garden with the pergola over the tiles. This space is similar to the home though, it'll be what you make of it - do you chase the sun? Do you chuck the kids and dogs out to play? Do you host the parties?  Whatever you choose to do though this space could be perfect for you and your family.

So whether you are downsizing, retiring, buying your first home, moving with the kids or simply just buying your next home and this sounds like the one for you call today and quote GY0737.
