Glebelands Road, Sale, M33 5QT

The most surprising thing about living in Ashton Upon Mersey is that you think you have seen it all then you come across something truly special like this - that's right you've just found an immaculate three bedroom semi that has open plan living to the rear with views over the open fields at the rear. Properties with views like this aren't common in the suburbs of Greater Manchester - imagine being able to have your morning brew in the garden while the horses graze opposite, now that's special.

One of the best things about this home though is the fact that while the view is spectacular, the house itself could be considered the star of the show. The vendor has spared no expense making this the ideal home for all the buyers of Sale. First time buyers will love being able to just move in because it's turnkey standard, families will adore the modern open plan living at the rear, young professionals will appreciate the size of the third bedroom which would make a great home office, downsizers will utilise the detached garage for all the things they've accumulated over the years and everyone will love the location.

Talking of the location, time for a history lesson (powered by Wikipedia, naturally!), the township of Ashton Upon Mersey was first mentioned in 1260, with it's oldest building (St Martins Church) built in 1304. Back to the modern day though, the church is still standing and the grounds are definitely worth an explore but the village itself is very much your modern village. You've got a range of pubs on your doorstep, several shops from chains to independent, niche shops like the vets and bike shop, there are also cafes, restaurants and takeaways but the most impressive thing has to be the sense of community with an active committee that hosts fairs and events like the Christmas light switch on. Further afield though AoM is part of Sale and Sale is regularly voted into the best places to live in the UK and is one of South Manchester's most sought after suburbs. If you get chance after viewing this home you must take the time to visit Stanley Square, Walkden Gardens and Trafford Water Park to name a few hotspots. There is no sugar coating it though, the main draw for families has to be the excellent primary and secondary schooling and you're within walking distance to some of the most sought after like Wellfield Primary, The Firs Primary and Ashton on Mersey High School.

Back to the house though, turnkey home is a term that describes a fully completed property that is ready to move into with no further works required. In fact if there were pictures in the dictionary, a picture of this property would be sitting right alongside it. It's a massive credit to the vendor as they have spared no expense to the make this the ideal home for the next buyer from the simple things like décor and maintenance to those big jobs like a brand new downstairs WC, kitchen and bathroom. In fact the WC is so new it wasn't even installed when the photos were taken. The layout has been changed to suit modern living while the décor has had new life breathed back into it making it the ideal property for someone who just wants to move in and put up their pictures.

Sitting at around 926 SqFt, this property is larger than you may expect and the best example of this is the front room which has the generous bay window overlooking the front garden but is perfectly sized for being the snug or the adult hideaway space for the evenings all built around the wood burner adding to the cosy feeling. The living room used to be open to the dining room to the rear but with a few smart adjustments the vendor has closed this room back off which is something that a lot of buyers desire now. Which leads us nicely onto the renovated kitchen diner behind.

The whole vibe of the house can be summed up when you open the kitchen door into this open plan space and find you're greeted by the picture window drawing in those views over the fields to the rear as well as all the natural light. The space has been built around the views and light, the kitchen fits right in with that aesthetic and truly is the heart of the home. With modern handless units topped with sleek white worktops, this space has a crisp finish which is beautifully offset with the bright feature wall. The rest of the room is currently used as a sitting area overlooking those open fields and a home office but could easily be a play room, dining area, entertainment space or more. Given that the kitchen has seating for four around the breakfast bar this space could be the family room where someone cooks tea while the other watches TV and the kids play inside or out via the sliding doors to the patio (all while everyone takes in those views because they are never going to get old are they?) Finishing off the ground floor is the brand new downstairs WC which no family can live without. 

Upstairs is more of a traditional layout with three bedrooms (that all fit beds and furniture!) and a modern bathroom. However there are some serious questions to be asked - do you use the front bedroom with the feature bay window as the main bedroom or do you go with the endless views from the rear bedroom? Whichever you choose there is more than enough space in both. The box room is bigger than expected too with space for a bed and there is already a built in wardrobe. The bathroom is another masterpiece of design by the vendor as they knocked through the separate toilet and pinched some of the second bedroom to create a truly modern bathroom again with a clean finish that has space for a bath and freestanding shower. The loft has been boarded and other properties on the road have added loft rooms so with the right architect this is something you could potentially investigate too.

The property also has a lot to give outside too alongside the views. The front currently has a driveway for two cars while retaining the lawned front garden behind a wall giving some separation from the road. The back has the detached garage ideal for storage but you could always look at either removing and creating a larger garden or converting into a home office or gym. As mentioned, there is a patio that provides the perfect seating area to take in the surroundings and there are steps down to the fence where the horses will sometimes walk past to graze right outside your property!

Vendor's favourite features:  “I've been here since around 2020 and I loved living here. The house has been the perfect place to bring my daughter up to adulthood and now it's time for us both to spread our wings. It really has been the best family home.

The neighbourhood has been particularly welcoming and I've felt incredibly safe as a single person with a teenage daughter. The village has a great selection of pubs, shops and restaurants - I'm really going to miss living here!"
