Longhurst Lane, Stockport, SK6

Step through the storm porch and into the entrance hall and you’re immediately met with a bright, spacious feel. From here you’ve doors into the living room and kitchen space, along with a handy shoe cloak and understairs WC.

The living room sits at the front of the home and feels really private thanks to the mature hedging outside. A lovely large bay window floods the room with natural light, while the additional windows either side of the fireplace bring even more brightness into the space. The gas fire creates a real focal point and gives the room that cosy feel for evenings in.

To the rear is where the home really opens up. Stepping from the hallway, you enter a fantastic open plan living, dining and kitchen space that feels both spacious and well zoned. The sitting area is tucked quietly towards the back, while the dining area takes centre stage adjacent the large bifold doors. It’s a brilliant set up for indoor/outdoor living and dining, with lovely views over the garden and surrounding countryside beyond.

The kitchen itself is beautifully fitted with an extensive range of units, a large central island, quality fittings and quartz worktops that finish the space off perfectly. It’s easy to imagine this becoming the part of the home where everyone naturally gathers.

From here there’s also access into the garage, which conveniently has a small utility area to the rear with additional storage and a sink.

On the first floor you’ve three bedrooms, two generous doubles, one at the front and one overlooking the rear garden, along with a recently refitted family bathroom. The bath is a great size, perfect for a long soak, which isn’t something you always find nowadays, and there’s also a separate shower.

The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study, but would work equally well as a single bedroom or nursery.

One thing that really stands out throughout the home is the natural light. Every room feels bright and airy.

A second staircase then leads up into the converted loft space. The first thing that grabs your attention up here is the view. A large picture window frames the garden and countryside perfectly, giving you a view you’d happily wake up to every morning. There’s also plenty of storage with a large bank of fitted wardrobes, along with access into the ensuite shower room. Recently refitted again, it’s a great space with full head height, lots of light and a strong shower to start the day properly.

Importantly, despite the fitted wardrobes, there is still access into the remaining loft storage space behind them, so you don’t lose that practical storage area that many buyers still want.

Outside, the property sits nicely back from the road with mature hedging providing plenty of privacy. There’s parking for a couple of cars, side access and the added bonus of an electric roller shutter garage door.

The rear garden is another real highlight. A raised patio sits directly off the house and offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps then lead down to the main lawn area. It’s a really wide, private plot and one of the few that enjoys uninterrupted views at the back without trees blocking them. Whether it’s family football games, space for the kids to run around, or somewhere to create a beautiful garden, it’s a space that offers loads of flexibility.

Overall, this is a home that will tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people. Spacious, flexible, well thought out and beautifully presented throughout. It’s very much a move straight in and enjoy kind of home.
