Clwyd Avenue, Edgeley, SK3

Summary
Picture a Saturday that starts with a hot drink and a breakfast barm at one of Castle Street's cafe's, carries on with a lap of the reservoirs at Alexandra Park and ends with friends gathered round the kitchen island. That's everyday life at Clwyd Avenue. This semi - detached home has the bay window, stained glass and ceiling rose you'd hope for in a period home, plus a big dining kitchen with a gas hob set into the island, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including a main bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a four-piece bathroom with a proper bath and a separate shower. The loft has been converted and accessed by a pull down ladder, then there are full cellars so even more room to grow. Outside there's a single garage and a garden long enough for a kickabout, and decking to sit out and enjoy the sun. Stockport station is a ten-minute stroll, with trains to Manchester Piccadilly in about ten minutes.

More about the home.
The hallway has a tiled floor, stair up to the first floor and access to the cellars.

The living room is at the front of the house. Its wide bay window lets plenty of light in and the fireplace, with its wooden surround and marble-effect hearth, is the natural spot to arrange the sofa and settle in for a winter film. The deep coving and ceiling rose are original-style touches that newer homes simply don't have, and the room is easily big enough for both the sofa and the comfy chair everyone fights over.

The dining kitchen runs across the back of the house, and it's where everyone will end up. The gas hob is set into the central island, so you can stir the gravy while still chatting to whoever's perched on the other side. There's a long run of pale worktops with a mosaic-tiled splashback, and a bank of tall units with an integrated double oven. There's plumbing for the washing machine and still room for a dining table, whether it's for homework, Sunday dinners or a Friday night takeaway. Two windows look out over the garden, so you can keep an eye on the kids or the dog. A back door leads to a covered side porch, which is the obvious place for wellies, the recycling and the bike helmets that never seem to have a home.

Upstairs, the landing has a built-in cupboard and a pull down hatch for the loft ladder. All three bedrooms have been freshly painted in calm, neutral tones and carpeted in soft grey, so you can move in and add your own touches at your own pace.

Main bedroom: at the back, overlooking the garden and the treetops. It has a full-height fitted wardrobe with cupboards above, handy for storage.

Front bedrooms: both keep their pretty stained-glass top windows. One makes a lovely nursery or guest room. The other works well as a child's room or a home office, a good one to bag if you work from home and want a door to close at five o'clock.

The bathroom is fully tiled and has four pieces: a panelled bath for a long soak, a separate walk-in shower for when you're in a rush, a vanity basin and a WC. A chrome heated towel rail means warm towels on chilly mornings, and recessed spotlights finish it off. With a bath and a shower in the same room, there's less queueing at seven in the morning.

A pull-down ladder takes you up to the loft room. It has a Velux roof window, a radiator, a laminate floor and exposed timber beams. It could be a hobby room, a teenage den or simply somewhere to store everything you don't want to look at.

Cellars
There are two full chambers with windows and electric, so its your choice if you want to use them for storage or convert to extra living space.

Outside

The rear garden is much longer than you'd usually find with house in Edgeley, and that's one of the real reasons to view.

A lawn runs the length of it, with room for a kickabout, a paddling pool or a washing line.
At the far end, a raised seating area catches the evening and has space for a table, chairs and a barbecue.

The single garage sits to the side. It's handy for bikes, tools and the lawnmower, or for anything else you'd rather not keep in the house.

The Local Area & Lifestyle

Alexandra Park is only about three minutes' walk away, so it effectively becomes your back garden's back garden. It has lakes and reservoirs to walk around (bring bread for the ducks), play areas, a skate park, a bowling green and a café for a takeaway coffee on the move. Paths link it to neighbouring parks if you fancy a longer walk.

Castle Street is Edgeley's high street, five to seven minutes away on foot. It covers your everyday shopping and has a good collection of independent cafés:

Brew Crew Room, which locals rate for its speciality coffee and brunch.
Angie's Bistro and Sivori's, for the kind of full breakfast that sets you up for the day.
Brew & Bites, which has recently been refurbished.

Stockport town centre is about a mile away. The Underbanks are full of independent bars and places to eat, there's the Produce Hall and Market Place, and Redrock and Merseyway have the cinema, restaurants and shops.
