Whalley Road, Shuttleworth

Positioned along a picturesque stretch of road, where everyday conveniences sit alongside beautiful countryside walks and views towards Peel Tower, this gorgeous stone Victorian terrace is a home that feels instantly welcoming.

The honey-toned front door provides a warm welcome, opening into a lounge that feels like the warm heart of the home. High ceilings and original beams draw the eye upwards, while natural light streams through the large front window, settling softly across the neutral décor. At the centre of the room, a focal fire sits within a charming hearth painted in calming duck-egg blue, creating a natural focal point for cosy evenings, slow Sunday mornings, and everything in between.

Beyond the living room, the home opens into a spacious dining kitchen where daily life can unfold with ease. There is room here for family meals, morning coffees before the day begins, and long evenings spent chatting around the table.

Cream shaker cabinetry wraps around the room, paired beautifully with light worktops and complementary, brown-toned splashback tiling. Practicality sits comfortably alongside style, with integrated appliances including a NEFF oven, a microwave and an induction hob, while the Rangemaster Belfast sink enjoys a lovely, peaceful outlook towards the garden.

For those who enjoy cooking, entertaining, or simply spending time together, this space naturally becomes a place where people gather.

Tucked beneath the house, the cellar offers excellent storage space and already serves as a utility area. With power connected and generous proportions, it also presents exciting possibilities for the future, whether as a workshop, hobby room, home gym, wine store, or simply a place to keep life's practicalities neatly organised.

A staircase rises from the kitchen to the first floor, where the sense of space continues.

The family bathroom was beautifully renovated in 2025, creating a space that feels more akin to a boutique spa than a traditional family bathroom.

Stone-effect tiling wraps around the room, complemented by elegant gold fittings and a striking vanity unit finished in rich green tones and natural wood. A wide bath with a mains-powered drench shower invites long soaks at the end of the day, while underfloor heating ensures every morning begins in comfort.

Adjacent to the bathroom, the second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, though its generous proportions easily accommodate a double bed. Built-in storage stretches across one wall, making it equally suited to becoming a dressing room, guest bedroom, creative studio, or peaceful workspace.

A large window frames views towards the rear, while soft floral wallpaper adds a gentle touch of character.

At the end of the landing lies the principal bedroom, a wonderfully spacious retreat where high ceilings enhance the sense of openness and light.

Deep blue panelling creates an elegant backdrop behind the bed, while fitted Hammonds wardrobes provide excellent storage without compromising on floor space. There is room here for a super king bed, dressing furniture, and cosy reading corners, allowing the room to be tailored entirely to its next chapter.

The outlook is particularly special. From the window, views stretch towards Peel Tower and the surrounding treetops, offering a constantly changing backdrop through the seasons. On Bonfire Night, fireworks can often be seen illuminating the skyline, while winter brings a particularly magical atmosphere as snow settles across the nearby countryside.

Stepping outside, the garden has been designed for simplicity, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space that can be enjoyed from the moment of moving in while still offering endless opportunities for personalisation.

The flagged patio provides plenty of room for outdoor dining, summer barbecues, and evenings spent with a glass of wine as the sun begins to set. Mature greenery rises beyond the boundaries, creating a backdrop of trees and foliage that brings both privacy and a wonderful connection to nature.

Whether imagined as a courtyard garden filled with pots and colour, a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, or even a future hot tub hideaway beneath the stars, it is a space that feels full of possibility.
