Description
Commissioned in 1909 by the suffragette, Mary Arletta Leonard, and her husband Thomas Leonard, founder of the pioneering Co-operative Holidays Association/Holiday Fellowship, this distinguished Arts and Crafts house was designed by the celebrated architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. 'Walden' is a truly exceptional period residence of considerable historical significance. Occupying an established double width plot on one of Marple Bridge's most prestigious and sought after roads, this magnificent four bedroom detached family home seamlessly combines timeless elegance with an abundance of original character.
Rich in period charm, the property showcases an impressive array of original features, including exposed ceiling beams, magnificent inglenook fireplaces, and the historic Suffragette portcullis emblem proudly displayed within the entrance hallway, a rare and fascinating reminder of the home's unique heritage.
The beautifully proportioned accommodation comprises three elegant reception rooms, a generously sized breakfast kitchen, four well appointed bedrooms, and a contemporary family shower room, all offering versatile living space perfectly suited to modern family life whilst respecting the property's historic character.
Externally, the home enjoys beautifully established gardens that have been lovingly cultivated and thoughtfully landscaped over many years. The expansive grounds include substantial driveway parking, a detached double-width, double-length garage, an attractive front garden, and extensive mature lawns complemented by a variety of seating areas. Whether enjoying full sunshine or relaxing in dappled shade, the gardens provide an idyllic setting for entertaining family and friends throughout the seasons.
Undoubtedly one of the finest and most desirable homes on Townscliffe Lane, 'Walden' presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of outstanding character, history, and stature. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional proportions, beautiful grounds, and unique heritage this remarkable home has to offer.
