Nestled off a historic street in Shuttleworth, Bye Road is a home that greets with both grandeur and warmth. The driveway curves gently downwards, offering ample space for visitors and private parking for two cars, while a community car park sits conveniently adjacent. Gorgeous original stone walls, hand-repointed by local stonemasons using traditional lime, frame the property; once a 19th-century mill store, now a unique landmark in the area and a home full of future memories. With modern touches including CCTV, security lights, wired fire alarms, a burglar alarm and a NEST thermostat for safety and ease.

Steps lead down to the front door, and a quaint path meanders through a picturesque iron gate, inviting you to wander alongside the house and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Top Mill Park hugs the property, providing unrivalled views of woodland, flowers, and wildlife. Deer, barn owls, bats, and kestrels are regular visitors, and the gentle chorus of birdsong is ever-present.

Step inside to a spacious, welcoming hallway, where vibrant Victorian-style tiled flooring sets a lively tone. Partially glazed feature windows allow light to pour in, illuminating every corner. Underneath the stairs, ample storage for shoes and coats keeps life effortlessly ordered, while the flooring flows seamlessly into the downstairs toilet, finished with metro tiles, grey hues, and clever shelving for extra storage.

Flow across the hallway to the lounge, where hardwood flooring and neutral walls create a canvas for personal style. Double aspect windows with bespoke shutters frame views of the garden, filling the room with natural light. Designer radiators keep the space warm year-round, while a cosy snug overlooks the garden, a perfect spot for quiet reflection or lively conversation.

Continue through to the kitchen, passing a rear porch with feature mosaic tiling underfoot. A handy nook opposite the rear door is ideal for wiping mucky hands or paws after adventures in the park.

The dining kitchen is a culinary haven, with dual aspect windows, shutters, and space for a full family and guests around the table. Here, mornings arrive gently and evenings glow quietly, as the bespoke kitchen, dressed in navy blue cabinetry and quartz worktops, wraps the space in a sense of calm and creativity. The breakfast bar, a natural gathering point, invites slow starts and lively conversation, while the quartz countertop gleams beneath the soft rhythm of daily life.

A mosaic of feature tiles underfoot leads the way to the utility area, where practical touches blend seamlessly with charm. Shelving and a butcher’s block worktop offer a quiet choreography of elegance and ease, keeping linens, kitchenware, and everyday essentials close at hand.

Ascend the staircase to a haven where brightness breathes life into every room. The first floor opens to a spacious bedroom currently used as a lounge, carpeted in plush softness and filled with light from dual aspect windows. Here, weekends seem to stretch just a little longer, and every gathering feels like a chapter in a cherished tale. Designer radiators keep the space warm, while neutral walls provide a blank canvas for new memories.

Continue along the first-floor hallway into the second bedroom, where large windows with shutters frame woodland views, and tucked-away alcoves offer space for work, play, or quiet contemplation. Soft carpets underfoot and gentle hues on the walls create the same sense of ease that carries throughout the home.

The family bathroom is a blissful bathing retreat, fully tiled in soothing greys and accented with stylish black fixtures. A deep bath and drench shower invite moments of pause beneath the hush of fragrant waters, while cupboards below the sink keep the space beautifully uncluttered.

Climb to the top floor, where roof lights and windows let daylight dance through the landing and bedrooms.

First on the left, discover a delightful room tucked into the eaves, a sanctuary where soft grey carpet cushions every step, and roof lights with manual blinds invite sunlight to spill in. This space, currently a nursery, is perfectly poised for transformation: a peaceful reading nook, a creative workspace, or a tranquil retreat for quiet moments. Generous eaves storage keeps treasures and essentials neatly tucked away, ensuring the room remains beautifully uncluttered.

Continue along the hallway to a serene double bedroom, where light green walls and soft grey carpet create a restful palette. A large window frames views over the garden and the lush expanse of the communal park, inviting the outdoors in and filling the space with a sense of calm and possibility. This is a room where mornings arrive gently, and evenings settle in golden quiet, a perfect haven for guests, family, or peaceful reflection.

Further down the hallway, step into a spacious bedroom where original beams stretch overhead, whispering stories of the home’s 19th-century heritage. The same plush grey carpet continues underfoot, while black window features add a touch of modern drama. Gaze out over the garden and Top Mill Park in the distance, where deer and birds are frequent visitors. Ample space allows for restful nights, creative pursuits, or simply soaking up the tranquil views. Eaves storage and roof lights ensure the room is as practical as it is enchanting.

At the end of the hallway, a practical upstairs cloakroom awaits, finished in gentle greys, with large tiles underfoot and light grey walls. Black accents add a contemporary touch, while eaves storage provides space for linens and essentials. The cloakroom features a toilet and vanity unit, ensuring comfort and convenience for all who call the top floor home.

Step outside into a garden that feels like a living poem.

Quote from owner - "As someone who works from home the gorgeous street has offered endless inspiration, it has given me a wealth of ideas over the years, it's a wonderful community and my kids are obsessed with the garden, which really comes to life in the summer as well as the park."

Stone walls and mature shrubs cocoon the space in privacy and perfume, while a winding path leads through levels of greenery and a generous lawn. Sunlight sprawls across the grass, inviting barefoot wanderings, games, or peaceful afternoons with a book. A large shed and log store stand ready for every season, and there’s scope to create secret seating areas or even a hot tub beneath a canopy of stars.
