Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Dormer Bungalow in a Quiet Atherton Cul-de-Sac

Set on a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Atherton, this immaculate three bedroom semi-detached dormer bungalow offers generous, flexible living space that works beautifully for couples, families and downsizers alike. With three reception areas, two bath/shower rooms plus an additional WC, well-tended gardens and off-road parking, it’s a comfortable home in a convenient spot for schools, shops and transport.

Inside the Property

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance area with useful storage, leading through to a bright main lounge. This room enjoys a large front window that draws in plenty of natural light and creates a warm, relaxing space to unwind.

To the rear, a separate dining room provides an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining, and flows into a lovely sunroom that looks out over the garden. This trio of reception spaces gives real flexibility – from cosy evenings to larger gatherings.

The fitted kitchen offers a practical layout with ample cupboard and worktop space and direct access to the garden.

A modern ground-floor three-piece bathroom serves the main living level, providing everyday convenience without needing to go upstairs.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms:

The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room with WC and wash basin.

A second double bedroom also benefits from a WC and hand basin, ideal for guests, older children or visiting family.

A third bedroom completes the floor and works well as a child’s room, nursery or home office.

Outside

To the front of the property there is a neat garden area and a driveway providing off-road parking, with gated side access through to the rear.

The rear garden is not directly overlooked, helping to create a more private feel. It offers space for outdoor seating and play, together with a useful shed for storage, and is designed to be relatively low-maintenance.
