Space, Scale & Parkside Living

Set well back from Sheepfoot Lane behind electric gates, this substantial four-bedroom detached family home occupies a generous plot in one of Prestwich’s most desirable residential locations. Just moments from the open green spaces of Heaton Park, with Bowker Vale Metrolink within easy reach and excellent motorway connections close by, the property combines space, presence and convenience in equal measure.

Approached via a deep frontage with a gated driveway providing ample parking, EV charging and access to the garage, the house sits comfortably within its plot. Established boundaries create a natural buffer at the front, while to the rear, a large garden offers a surprisingly calm and spacious outdoor setting for entertaining and year-round enjoyment.

Welcome Home

From the moment you arrive, the proportions and layout hint at the space within. You step into a welcoming porch which opens into a spacious entrance hall, providing a practical introduction to the house with access to the main living spaces and stairs rising to the first floor. Handy under-stairs storage offers useful space for coats, shoes and everyday items, helping to keep the hallway clear and functional.

Located at the front of the property, the dining room is a well-proportioned space with plenty of natural light and an outlook to the front. To the rear, the main living room is generous in size and benefits from wide sliding doors opening directly onto the garden, allowing light to flow through and creating a strong connection with the outdoor space. A deep chimney breast with a feature fireplace forms a natural focal point, while the room’s scale offers clear scope for refurbishment and reconfiguration to suit a buyer’s own style.

The Heart of the Home

The kitchen forms the central hub of the house and has been opened up to create a sociable, open-plan space that connects easily with the dining and seating areas. Designed by Poggenpohl, it features warm wood-effect cabinetry paired with granite worktops, arranged around a generous central island with a built-in gas hob and breakfast bar seating, making it a practical setup for everyday use and informal dining. The layout works well as it stands, while also offering flexibility for future reconfiguration.

Integrated appliances include a double oven and an integrated Hoover dishwasher, with additional space for freestanding appliances, while extensive worktop areas and storage provide a strong base for a future update or redesign. A contemporary extractor sits above the island, and a mix of tiled splashbacks and glazed wall units adds character. Large windows and wide sliding doors bring in excellent natural light and open directly onto the garden, reinforcing the kitchen’s role as a true family space with an easy indoor-outdoor feel.

Just off the kitchen, the utility room adds valuable practicality, offering additional storage and space for laundry appliances. From here, there is internal access into the garage, making it particularly practical for storage and everyday use. A convenient ground-floor WC is positioned alongside, particularly useful for busy family life.

Retreat Upstairs

The first floor is arranged around a generous central landing and offers four bedrooms, providing versatile accommodation well suited to family living, guests and home working. The accommodation is anchored by a well-proportioned principal suite, with the remaining bedrooms arranged to offer flexibility for family life.

The principal bedroom is a spacious double and is enhanced by a dedicated dressing area that leads through to an en suite shower room. The en suite is well presented and fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and vanity unit, offering a well-considered and practical arrangement.

Another of the bedrooms benefits from an adjoining dressing room, adding valuable ancillary space that could be configured as a walk-in wardrobe, study or additional storage, depending on a buyer’s needs.

A further double bedroom and a well-sized single bedroom complete the accommodation, both enjoying good natural light and flexible proportions.

The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and has been reconfigured and updated, creating a smart, contemporary space fitted with a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and basin, finished in a clean, modern style.

Outdoor Living

The rear garden is a standout feature of the property, offering impressive size and a strong sense of separation from neighbouring homes. Laid mainly to lawn and framed by established boundaries, it provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining, family life and entertaining, with plenty of space to adapt or landscape further if desired.

Glazed openings from the main living areas create an easy flow between inside and out, making the garden feel like a natural extension of the house during warmer months. To the front, the property is approached via electric gates and a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking, alongside an EV charging point and access to the garage, completing a practical and well-balanced outdoor arrangement.

In the Neighbourhood

Sheepfoot Lane sits in a well-established and highly regarded part of Prestwich, valued for its proximity to green space, strong amenities and excellent transport links. Heaton Park is just a short walk away and offers acres of open parkland, woodland walks, lakes, cafés and leisure facilities, making it a major draw for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Beyond the park, Prestwich village centre is close by and continues to grow in popularity, with a wide range of independent cafés, bars, restaurants and local shops sitting alongside everyday conveniences. The area has a strong community feel, with something to suit everything from relaxed coffee mornings to evenings out.

Transport connections are particularly strong. Bowker Vale Metrolink station provides direct access into Manchester city centre, while nearby motorway links make travel across Greater Manchester and beyond straightforward. Several bus routes also serve the area, adding further flexibility.

Families are well catered for, with St Monica’s Primary School nearby and a selection of other well-regarded primary and secondary schools in the surrounding area, making Prestwich a consistently popular choice for buyers seeking space, accessibility and lifestyle in equal measure.
