Welcome to Sweetbriar House...

Perfectly balancing period charm with contemporary style, Sweetbriar House is a beautifully presented detached family home that's been lovingly modernised throughout. The thoughtful renovation has enhanced its character, creating a stylish and functional home ideal for modern family living. Briefly comprising lounge, stunning open-plan kitchen-diner with second lounge, downstairs W.C., three generous double bedrooms (with potential to convert back to the original four), including master with dressing room and en-suite, plus a 4-piece family bathroom. Outside, the south-facing rear garden offers a private retreat with a summerhouse, shed and log store, while the front provides generous parking for 4+ cars and open views across neighbouring green fields. Ideally located just a short stroll from Bromley Cross train station, Turton School, and local shops, cafés and pubs — early viewing is strongly advised to appreciate this truly special home.

A Closer Look...

Park on the spacious private driveway and step through the arched Edwardian storm porch into the welcoming entrance hall, where LVT flooring and crisp white woodwork set the tone for the elegant interiors beyond. To the right, the lounge exudes warmth with its large bay window, feature gas fireplace and classic ceiling roses. Double doors open to the showstopping kitchen-diner-family room - a newly renovated heart of the home designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday living. Sleek matt black cabinetry with copper hardware houses integrated appliances including double ovens, microwave, full-height fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The large central island, illuminated by pendant lighting, features an induction hob, breakfast bar seating and plenty of storage. An undermount sink sits beneath a bay window with instant hot water tap, while the sitting area's cast iron multi-fuel stove adds a cosy focal point. To the rear, the dining room and second lounge enjoys vaulted ceilings, dual aspect windows, a feature electric fire and French doors opening to the garden. Back along the hall, a downstairs W.C. with vanity basin and useful coat storage completes the ground floor.

Off to Bed...

Upstairs, three spacious double bedrooms await. The master suite to the front features fitted wardrobes, a dressing room with Velux window, and a stylish en-suite with walk-in shower, wash basin, W.C. and chrome radiator. Bedroom two, previously two separate rooms, now offers a superbly sized double spanning the width of the home with fitted furniture — perfect for families seeking flexibility. The third double bedroom features fitted furniture and a charming cast iron fireplace, a nod to the home's period roots. Completing the floor, the elegant 4-piece family bathroom is tiled in soft neutral tones with a walk-in shower, bathtub, wash basin, W.C. and chrome radiator.

Outside...

Step through the patio doors into the south-facing rear garden — a serene, private space designed for relaxation. A flagged patio offers room for outdoor dining and summer BBQs, leading to a neat lawn framed by mature flowerbeds and shrubs. A summerhouse provides a peaceful spot to unwind, while a side patio with shed and log store adds practical storage. A secure gate connects to the front driveway, which offers ample parking for several vehicles.
