Description
A Sharples Classic, Beautifully Reimagined
Set along the ever-popular Farnborough Road in Sharples, this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home is a masterclass in blending timeless character with contemporary living. Generous in both proportion and finish, it offers a home that feels as good to live in as it looks.
From first glance, the bay-fronted façade and smart block-paved driveway set the scene, delivering instant kerb appeal alongside convenient off-road parking.
Designed for Family Life — With Room to Grow
This home offers a timeless appeal that balances classic 1930s character with exciting modern potential. Exceptionally light throughout and generous in its proportions, it provides a spacious, well-considered layout that has proven perfectly suited to family life.
Much loved and carefully lived in, the house has been the setting for many happy memories. Its warmth, sense of space and natural flow make it an ideal environment for raising a family, with room for children to grow, play and gather.
The layout also presents clear opportunities for future enhancement, with scope to create open-plan family living or extend the property as needs evolve, subject to the necessary planning permissions. It is a home that works beautifully as it stands, while offering the flexibility to adapt and grow alongside its next owners.
Welcome Home
Step through the front door and into a bright, inviting entrance hall where warm walnut flooring, crisp neutral décor and high ceilings immediately establish a sense of quality. A white spindled staircase rises gracefully above a neatly tucked-away downstairs WC, finished with Moroccan-inspired floor tiling and stylish grey wall panelling. Thoughtful details including a feature radiator cover, hint at the care and craftsmanship found throughout the home.
Spaces to Relax & Entertain
To the front of the property, the main living room is both elegant and comforting. A striking stone surround fireplace with gas fire forms a natural focal point, flanked by wall panelling and a bespoke built-in cupboard. Light pours through the large bay window, softening the neutral palette and highlighting the textured wall covering beneath the picture rail. Plush carpeting completes the space, making it ideal for cosy evenings or hosting friends in style.
To the rear, a separate dining room sits conveniently alongside the kitchen, with flooring that flows seamlessly from the hallway. Perfectly proportioned for family meals or social gatherings, this room enjoys garden views through another generous bay window, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere.
A Kitchen Designed for Modern Living
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with sleek high-gloss white units, contrasting worktops and a contemporary tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, double oven and five-ring gas hob with stainless steel extractor above, while ample storage and preparation space keep everything effortlessly organised. Two side windows flood the room with light, with a stainless steel sink positioned to enjoy the outlook. Stone-effect flooring with under floor heating, recessed spotlights and a uPVC door leading directly to the garden complete this practical yet polished space.
Upstairs Retreats
The first floor continues the home’s calm and considered design, with a landing illuminated by a beautiful period stained-glass window.
The main bedroom is a true standout. Fitted white and walnut wardrobes are softly lit with recessed spotlights, while a bespoke bedhead, matching bedside tables and built-in TV point create a cohesive, hotel-style finish. Calming greige tones beneath the picture rails enhance the sense of restfulness, and a wide bay window mirrors the characterful frontage below.
Bedroom two is an equally generous double overlooking the rear garden, complete with a full bank of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and soft pink panelling behind the bed. The third bedroom has been cleverly designed with a built-in cabin bed, storage drawers below, cupboards above and matching shaker-style wardrobes and shelving, ideal for children or flexible use.
The family bathroom completes the floor, featuring a modern suite with freestanding bath, separate double shower enclosure, vanity sink with storage, WC, inset mirror and a heated chrome towel rail. Two-toned textured wall tiling adds depth and interest, elevating the space to spa-like standards.
Garden Living & Versatility
Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The generous rear garden has been designed for low-maintenance living, with a patio area leading onto artificial lawn and continuing to raised decking at the rear, framed by raised borders, perfect for summer entertaining.
At the end of the garden sits a detached summer house/bar, complete with a built-in timber bar, wall-mounted TV point and cosy seating area. Currently styled as a relaxed retreat, it would work just as well as a home office, gym or creative studio. A separate detached garage provides additional storage or secure parking, adding to the home’s overall practicality.
Location & Lifestyle
Sharples offers the perfect balance of everyday ease and countryside charm. Daily essentials are close at hand, with Asda, Lidl and The Range all within easy reach, alongside local butchers, independent shops and a nearby Starbucks for those on-the-go mornings. The area is also well known for its welcoming local pubs, many just a short stroll away, while excellent dining options can be found a little further afield towards the moors and Belmont. Much-loved favourites such as San Marino’s and Lottie’s Tea Room are only a short drive away, ideal for relaxed lunches or special evenings out.
Families are particularly well catered for, with a selection of well-regarded schools nearby including High Lawn, The Oaks Primary, Sharples Secondary and Thornleigh Salesian College, along with a range of nurseries for younger children.
For commuters, connectivity is a real strength. Blackburn Road and the A666 provide straightforward access to St Peter’s Way and the M60 for Manchester-bound journeys, while the M61 at Horwich opens up routes to the wider North West, from coastal escapes to weekends in the Lake District.
Final Word
A beautifully finished, move-in-ready home offering space, style and flexibility in equal measure, perfectly positioned within one of Sharples’ most desirable locations.
