Stand Lane, Radcliffe, Manchester, M26 1JP

Set behind a gated entrance within established communal grounds, Apartment 9 at Stand Lodge is a wonderfully individual home, combining the character of a Grade II listed building with generous, beautifully presented accommodation.

Renovated and converted into apartments in 2010, Stand Lodge retains its impressive period exterior while offering comfortable modern living within. Apartment 9 extends to approximately 1,942 sq ft across three floors, with its own entrance and a layout that gives it the space, privacy and feel of a house.

The approach sets the scene, with the handsome building framed by mature trees, lawns and planted borders. Steps lead to the apartment’s entrance, opening into a home with distinct spaces for relaxing, entertaining and everyday life.

On the lower accommodation level, a generous reception room offers ample space for comfortable seating, bookshelves and a desk. Beautifully presented and adaptable, it works equally well as an everyday lounge or a relaxed family room.

Two double bedrooms are positioned on this level. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the communal grounds — a lovely setting for a morning coffee. The second double bedroom is served by a separate bathroom with a bath.

Upstairs, the kitchen and dining space forms a sociable heart to the home. White cabinetry is complemented by dark worktops, while a central island with breakfast seating provides space to prepare food and catch up with family or friends. A striking glazed ceiling feature introduces additional light and adds to the apartment’s distinctive design.

The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a dining table, creating a welcoming space for everyday meals and entertaining.

A third double bedroom sits on this level, offering flexibility as a guest bedroom, nursery or home office. An additional WC is conveniently positioned nearby.

The uppermost floor reveals a second substantial reception room. Sloping ceilings, a rooflight and generous proportions create an inviting retreat, with plenty of space for comfortable seating. Whether used as the main lounge, a film room or somewhere to unwind, this room adds another dimension to the home.

Outside, residents enjoy established communal gardens with lawns, mature planting and seating areas. The gated driveway provides access to residents’ parking.

A particularly attractive feature is the low service charge of just £110 per month, equivalent to £1,320 per year, offering an appealing combination of substantial accommodation and modest ongoing communal charges.

With three double bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms and an individual layout within a handsome listed building, Apartment 9 offers a distinctive alternative to a conventional house.
