Description
Nestled behind a leafy hedge and sheltered by the gentle arms of a mature tree, Tor Avenue invites a world where privacy and tranquillity reign. The driveway, bordered by lush lawns and flourishing borders, sweeps gracefully down to a generous double garage – a versatile space, equally suited to cherished vehicles, creative projects, or the home gym of dreams.
A porcelain-tiled terrace beneath the porch provides a sheltered spot for morning coffee, where the day’s first light lingers, softening every edge and inviting a gentle start to the day. The contemporary, black composite front door, paired with a large window, opens into a hallway awash with sunlight.
To the left, the double garage stands ready for transformation – it’s generous proportions and part-utility area offer endless potential, whether as a workshop, hobby room, or a sanctuary for fitness pursuits. Storage is abundant, ensuring that every tool and treasure finds its place.
Retracing the path to the entrance, a cloakroom reveals itself, a jewel space of bronze Zoffany wallpaper, sandy tiles, and chrome accents. Wooden touches and a chrome towel radiator create a spa-like retreat, where even the most practical moments feel quietly indulgent.
On the entrance floor, a spacious study bathes in natural light. Neutrally decorated and thoughtfully positioned, this room serves as a central hub ideal for creativity, dual working, or gaming, always close to the heart of the home.
The staircase, carpeted in soft tones, split invitingly. One path leading down to the vibrant heart of the home, the other riding to restful retreats above.
Descending to the lower level, horizontal Karndean flooring flows beneath, guiding the way into an open-plan kitchen and dining area. Here, culinary magic mingles with convivial chatter, as aromas weave their spell through the air. High-gloss cabinetry in soft cashmere lines the walls, offering both beauty and abundant storage. The breakfast island, with space for three, invites lazy-brunches and laughter-filled mornings, while the wraparound worktops and integrated appliances make every meal a celebration.
A large window above the sink frames the garden’s leafy border, turning even the simplest task into a moment of quiet reflection. The connection between inside and out is ever-present, with views of the established tree line providing a living backdrop to daily life.
Flow through partially glazed double doors into the lounge, where the flooring continues seamlessly and a feature wallpaper adds a touch of drama. Traditional radiators and mood lighting create an atmosphere that shifts effortlessly from lively gatherings to tranquil evenings. Patio doors open wide, inviting the outdoors in and making this the perfect place to unwind after entertaining. Storage is cleverly integrated, ensuring that comfort and order go hand in hand.
Ascend to the ground floor and turn into the snug, a room elevated enough to offer lovely views through the window. Herringbone Karndean flooring underfoot and a peaceful atmosphere make this the ideal reading room or retreat. A carpeted staircase leads up to the mezzanine bedroom, where a Velux window floods the space with light. The glass balustrade and generous proportions create a sanctuary that feels both private and open—a perfect guest room or personal hideaway.
Opposite the staircase, the family bathroom awaits in the form of a blissful bathing retreat where cream tiles and metallic accents evoke a spa-like serenity. The central-filling bathtub invites relaxation, while the mustard splashback and soft lighting turn every routine into a reverie.
Continue along to the principal bedroom, where herringbone flooring and wall-to-wall sliding wardrobes create a sense of calm order. There’s space for a super king bed and more, while a stunning window frames views across to the distant hills.
The en-suite is a sanctuary of its own, with grey tiles from floor to ceiling, a large window, and a walk-in shower with a drench head and wand—every detail designed for comfort and ease.
Climb to the first floor, where two further bedrooms await. One, currently a walk-in wardrobe, is light and airy with a large window and soft carpet underfoot, a space ready to become whatever the next chapter requires.
The other, a spacious double, boasts a characterful ceiling and ample room for personalisation, with views over the front garden and beyond.
Step outside from either the lounge or the dining area onto the flagged patio, where sunlight dances across the stone and established shrubs cocoon the garden in privacy and perfume. The lawn stretches out, a canvas for children’s games, pets’ adventures, or quiet afternoons with a book. Hidden corners and seating areas await discovery, promising secret picnics and starlit conversations. Here, nature and nurture entwine, creating a setting steeped in tranquillity and possibility.
Out & About
Set along the ever-popular Tor Avenue, this large family home enjoys a prime position within one of Greenmount’s most established residential pockets — a location prized for its community feel, access to open countryside and everyday convenience. With family living at its heart, the area offers an enviable balance of peaceful surroundings and a lifestyle that’s easy to enjoy day to day.
Step outside and you’re immediately spoilt for choice when it comes to walks and outdoor pursuits. Scenic routes wind through Redisher Woods, while gentle circuits around Greenmount Golf Club are perfect for relaxed evening strolls. For those who enjoy a challenge, the rewarding climb up Holcombe Hill to Peel Tower delivers breathtaking panoramic views and is a firm favourite with walkers, runners and cyclists alike.
Families are particularly well catered for. Highly regarded local schools including Greenmount Primary School, Holly Mount RC Primary School and Woodhey High School are all within easy reach. Independent education is also close by, with Bury Grammar School a short drive away, alongside a selection of well-regarded nurseries for younger children.
Everyday life is made easy thanks to a range of nearby amenities. Vernon Road precinct is just a short walk, offering a Co-op, chemist, butchers, hair and beauty salons and a welcoming local bistro. For a wider mix of services, Holcombe Brook precinct provides opticians, a popular bakery, dry cleaners and a choice of takeaways, making it simple to shop locally and support independent businesses.
When it’s time to unwind, you’re well placed for food and drink. The Hare and Hounds remains a firm local favourite, while Miller & Carter is just a short stroll away for premium dining. Further variety awaits in nearby Ramsbottom, regularly celebrated as one of the North West’s most desirable market towns, with boutique shops, artisan markets, cafés and a vibrant dining scene.
A strong sense of community underpins village life here, supported by excellent local clubs and facilities. Enjoy cricket at the village pavilion, fitness and tennis at Holcombe Brook Sports and Tennis Club, or a round of golf just minutes from home.
Commuters are equally well served, with regular bus routes connecting Greenmount to Bury and Ramsbottom, Metrolink services providing direct access into Manchester, and swift road links via the M66 for travel further afield.
Well connected yet wonderfully settled, Tor Avenue offers a lifestyle centred around family, community and the outdoors. With its extended layout designed for modern living and everything Greenmount has to offer close at hand, this is a home that truly supports everyday family life — now and for years to come.
