Lower Lane, Chinley, SK23

This beautifully presented three-bedroom, with loft room, semi-detached home occupies a prime corner plot in the heart of Chinley village, combining period character with thoughtful modern improvements and a wonderfully versatile layout. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, a bright dual-aspect living room with plantation shutters, bespoke wallpaper, half-height panelling and a wood-burning stove, together with a stylish kitchen/diner featuring bespoke high-gloss cabinetry, quartz worktops and integrated appliances. A useful utility room and downstairs WC add everyday practicality, while the converted section of the garage provides an appealing snug or home study with a vaulted ceiling, overhead glazing and a second wood-burning stove set upon a stone hearth. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a generous family bathroom and a superb loft room providing further flexible accommodation.

Outside, the private enclosed garden is a real highlight, beautifully planted with mature hedging, established shrubs, colourful flowers and an attractive specimen tree, with multiple seating areas creating an exceptional space for entertaining and relaxation. Carefully positioned lighting transforms the garden after dark into an atmospheric retreat. The location is equally compelling, with convenient access to Chinley railway station and road links, while the surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, including the challenging Chinley Churn Circular with its gritstone views, the historic Bugsworth Basin and Peak Forest Tramway Trail, and the scenic climb towards Eccles Pike. Offered with Freehold tenure, this is a distinctive village home combining character, flexibility and an enviable outdoor lifestyle.
