Cowell & Norford are delighted to present to the market this exceptional Edwardian family home, constructed in 1908 and occupying a prime position on a quiet cul-de-sac within the highly sought-after Crompton Avenue, Rochdale. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home that has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renovated over the years to an excellent standard.

Offering approximately 1,592 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation set across three floors, the property seamlessly blends period charm with modern living, making it an ideal purchase for families seeking both space and quality.

Upon entering, the property is greeted by a charming entrance porch, complete with a modern remote-controlled alarm system. The hallway beyond has been recently refurbished and immediately showcases the home’s high ceilings and elegant proportions, with stylish tiled flooring continuing through to a contemporary downstairs WC. There is also newly created understairs storage, enhancing practicality.

The front reception room is a superb living space, featuring newly installed real wood flooring with heat insulation beneath, bespoke shelving to either side of the chimney breast, and a beautiful bay window that floods the room with natural light throughout the day.

To the rear, the property truly excels with an outstanding open-plan kitchen/dining area. A structural redesign, including the installation of steel supports, has created a generous and sociable space, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is newly fitted and finished to a high specification, incorporating an induction hob, oven, microwave, and integrated dishwasher. Underfloor heating runs throughout, complemented by a fully tiled floor and tiled wall finishes extending beneath the kitchen units for a clean and seamless look. A wood-burning stove with a solid wood mantel adds warmth and character, while French doors and traditional sash windows invite an abundance of natural light into the space.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed, while the second bedroom benefits from a charming bay window. The third bedroom offers flexibility as a nursery, dressing room, or home office. The main bathroom is spacious and functional, featuring both an electric shower and bath with overhead shower fitting, and offers potential for further enhancement or the creation of an en-suite if desired.

The second floor has been converted into a superb fourth bedroom, fully compliant with relevant regulations and accompanied by the necessary documentation. This space is particularly versatile and is currently utilised as a home office. It enjoys excellent natural light and offers extensive storage within the eaves via sliding doors, along with an additional carpeted storage area.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is generous and arranged over two levels, providing a large patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A recently refurbished utility room includes a new sink, worktops, plumbing for appliances, and a WC replaced within the last two years, adding further convenience. An additional smaller utility/storage area is also located to the side.

To the rear, a garage provides secure parking for a medium-sized vehicle and opens onto a private shared yard accessed via a large secure metal gate, serving only a handful of neighbouring properties. There is also potential to extend the garage, with approximately 3 metres of additional space available to the side, subject to the necessary permissions.

Further benefits include solar panels, generating approximately £1,200 per annum, offering an excellent supplementary income and improved energy efficiency.

The location is equally as appealing. Positioned on a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property benefits from a strong sense of community with excellent neighbours. Directly opposite is a local playground, while football pitches are located just at the end of the road, making it ideal for families. A range of local shops, amenities, and well-regarded schools are all within close proximity, while convenient bus routes and transport links provide easy access into Rochdale town centre and beyond, including connections to Manchester.

This is a truly special home that has been carefully improved while retaining its original Edwardian character. Properties of this quality, size, and specification rarely come to the market, and early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything on offer.
