Your First Home Should Feel Like More Than Just A Stepping Stone. Here’s one where the gorgeous bathroom has underfloor heating, a built-in TV and a heated Bluetooth mirror, the landscaped garden enjoys the sun right through to sunset, and the guided bus gives you brilliant links into Manchester 24 hours a day.

Your first home should be somewhere you're proud of, not somewhere you're already planning to leave. 87 Guest Street is exactly that kind of stylish starter home.

From the outside it's a neat, well-kept modern semi with a covered porch and parking on the drive. Nothing about it screams for too much attention. But get inside and the standard of finish will genuinely surprise you.

The lounge has a stylish gas fire set into the wall - the kind that makes the room feel properly cosy on a winter evening. 

French doors at the far end open straight out to the garden, so in summer the whole ground floor opens up. The dining area sits just off the lounge, with enough space for a proper table and chairs.

The kitchen has white shaker style fitted units with dark worktops and metro tile splashback. There’s a built-in oven and hob and plenty of storage throughout, including a handy cupboard under the stairs.

The main bedroom is a lovely room, with feature panelling on the wall, space for a king size-bed and two windows that make it genuinely bright and airy. Both bedrooms also benefit from Blocout branded blackout blinds that completely block out the light - a brilliant feature whether you work shifts, love a lie-in or need a nursery to stay dark.

The second bedroom is a comfortable size double room, but also perfect for a nursery, a home office, or a guest room depending on where you are in life right now. There are fitted wardrobes too, giving you some really useful extra storage.

The loft, accessed from the landing, has also been fully boarded out with a light and ladder, giving you even more handy storage options.

Then there’s the bathroom. Underfloor heating means it’s never cold underfoot, whilst the heated towel rail keeps things feeling warm and luxurious. There’s a TV built right into the wall above the bath, plus a heated Bluetooth music mirror with sensor light activation. Fully tiled from floor to ceiling in cool grey, with a vanity unit under the sink, it really does feel more like a boutique hotel or spa than the bathroom you’d expect in a first home.

Outside, the west-facing garden is bigger than you'd guess from the front and gets the sun beautifully through the day in summer, starting at the top of the garden and gradually moving down across the paved seating area until sunset. Sandstone flagging makes up the patio area, with a lawn and wooden shed at the back. It’s the perfect place for firing up the pizza oven and having friends and family over.

Leigh town centre is only a ten-minute walk away (or three minutes in the car), where there’s a good choice of day-to-day shops and places to eat, including a Tesco Extra for the weekly shop.

Leigh Sports Village - next to the nature reserve and country park - and the tennis club are all close by.

The guided busway on Holden Road is only a three-minute walk from your front door, with direct services into Manchester city centre running 24 hours a day. Not only does this mean that Manchester’s a manageable commute but it makes it so easy if you’re heading into the city to hit the shops or catch up with friends.

Your first home should make you feel like you've made it, not feel like you're settling for second best until you can afford something better.
