Description

Set back behind a generous double driveway, March Drive immediately sets a welcoming tone. Mature shrubs line one boundary, offering a sense of privacy and year-round greenery, while a neatly maintained lawn stretches across the other, creating a smart yet homely first impression. There's ample parking here for family and guests alike, making everyday life and entertaining effortless from the outset.
Step inside through the sleek black composite front door and into a spacious porch - a practical and purposeful introduction to the home. Neutral walls and durable laminate flooring keep things easy to maintain, while a striking slate feature wall adds texture and character. With plenty of space for coats, shoes and storage, and a side window drawing in natural light, this is a calm and organised start to the day.
A secure, partially glazed door leads you through into the main hallway, where dark plank-style flooring flows underfoot, guiding you into the heart of the home. Immediately to the left sits a convenient downstairs WC, finished with full white tiling accented by a mosaic detail, and fitted with a WC and hand basin - ideal for busy family mornings or visiting guests.
Continue along the hallway and you'll find the staircase rising to the first floor on your left, while the main living spaces open up ahead, each offering their own distinct atmosphere while remaining seamlessly connected.

Positioned at the front of the property, the lounge is a bright and inviting space designed for relaxed family living. Wooden flooring runs throughout, while a gas fire with a marble-effect surround creates a natural focal point, perfect for cosy evenings in. Soft sage green walls add warmth, and a large bay window frames views over the front lawn, filling the room with natural light throughout the day.
Double doors link the lounge to the dining room, allowing the space to flow beautifully when entertaining, or to be closed off for quieter, more intimate evenings.

From the hallway, the kitchen sits straight ahead and immediately impresses with its practical layout and generous storage. A large understairs cupboard provides valuable space for household essentials, while white cabinets wrap around the room, paired with laminate worktops and coordinating splashbacks.
The sink is perfectly positioned beneath a window overlooking the rear garden, and a nearby door offers easy access outside - ideal for summer dining or garden gatherings. A gas cooker with extractor hood is in place, alongside space for an American-style fridge freezer, while the boiler is neatly housed away within the kitchen.
The kitchen then opens into the morning room, a wonderfully versatile space where a log-burning stove adds warmth and character. Whether used as a relaxed seating area, breakfast spot or family snug, this room offers flexibility to suit modern life. Additional ovens are tucked neatly around the corner, with internal access through to the garage. A slate feature wall and continuous flooring keep the spaces visually connected and cohesive.

Beyond the kitchen, the dining area opens out into a generous space that comfortably accommodates a large dining table - perfect for family meals, celebrations and entertaining. Neutral walls keep the room light and airy, while feature stone wallpaper adds a touch of interest and personality.
From here, step into the conservatory, extending the living accommodation further still. With its pitched roof and windows on all sides, this is a wonderfully bright space that offers excellent potential to be opened further into the main house. Currently arranged with large sofas and relaxed seating, it's an ideal spot to unwind, with doors leading straight out into the garden.

Returning to the hallway, the staircase leads up to the first floor, which spans both the original house and the later extension, creating a varied and flexible layout ideal for growing families.
The principal bedroom sits at the front of the property and offers a calm and generous retreat. Karndean flooring runs underfoot, with ample space for a double bed, wardrobes and a dressing table. Sliding fitted wardrobes are already in place, while feather-patterned feature wallpaper adds subtle character. The en-suite bathroom completes the suite, featuring a contemporary freestanding bath, WC and hand basin, finished with white tiling and softened by natural light from a glazed window.

Bedroom four, also positioned to the front, is the first of three further double bedrooms. With laminate flooring, neutral décor and a large window overlooking the driveway, it's a bright and adaptable space suitable for guests, children or hobbies.
Toward the rear of the property, the family bathroom sits off the landing, fully tiled in high-gloss white with a contrasting feature band. It includes a bath with electric shower overhead, WC, hand wash basin and a traditional towel radiator. A large window keeps the space bright and airy - the perfect setting to unwind after a long day.
Bedroom five is positioned at the back of the house and is currently set up as a home office. With laminate flooring and neutral walls, it easily accommodates a queen-sized bed and additional furniture, offering flexibility for evolving family needs.
Bedroom two features walnut-effect laminate flooring, lilac-toned walls and spotlights overhead. A large window overlooks the rear garden and conservatory, drawing in plenty of natural light.
Across the landing, bedroom three sits over the extension. With space for a king-size bed and additional furniture, this room enjoys peaceful views over surrounding woodland and greenery, making it feel wonderfully private and tucked away.

Outside, the rear garden is arranged over gentle tiers, offering a thoughtful balance of lawn, patio and established planting. A patio area directly outside the house provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. Steps lead up to two further lawned sections, divided by dwarf walls and bordered by mature shrubs that offer colour and privacy throughout the year.
With no properties directly behind, the garden feels open and secluded, offering excellent potential for landscaping, play areas, or quiet seating spots to enjoy the changing seasons.

March Drive is a substantial and versatile five-bedroom family home, offering generous living space both inside and out. With flexible accommodation, multiple reception areas and a private garden, it's a home designed to adapt as life evolves - whether that's busy family routines, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying peaceful moments at home. A place where comfort, space and lifestyle come together beautifully.

The setting offers a calm, residential feel while keeping you closely connected to everything Bury has to offer - ideal for busy family life with room to slow down at weekends.

Outdoor space is a real highlight of the area. Burrs Country Park is just over ten minutes away, spanning 36 hectares of open countryside along the River Irwell. With woodland walks, wetlands, open pastures and cycle routes, it's a firm favourite for weekend strolls, bike rides and picnics with the family.

Families are exceptionally well served when it comes to schooling.

On warmer days, The Garsdale offers a welcoming beer garden and classic pub atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends.

Everyday essentials are all close at hand. Tesco Express and Spar (with Subway) make quick shopping easy, while Ernill's Bakery is on hand for freshly baked bread and treats. All Bloomin' Things provides beautiful flowers for every occasion, and you'll also find a pharmacy, barbers and Woodbank Medical Centre just a short walk away - everything needed to keep family life running smoothly.
