5 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to Rockwood House…

A truly impressive historic house, filled with original charm and features, located on Oaks Lane, Bradshaw. The current owners have heavily invested in modernising and renovating this property to create a beautiful and unique family home, while maintaining original features and sympathetic modern improvements. The renovation works have not been completely finished; bathrooms need completing with some decoration, plus some garden landscaping, so the new owners can add their touch to what is already an exceptional house. Situated within walking distance to great local schools, restaurants and shops, this home offers a brilliant opportunity for discerning buyers. 

A Closer Look…

Step through the front door into the entrance porch, and into the impressive entrance hall. Solid wooden floors, panelled walls and a grand wooden staircase provide a stately atmosphere, and the original tiled fireplace with log-burning stove adds cosy charm. To the left, you'll find the lounge, one of the three spacious reception rooms, with plush carpets, dual aspect windows and a log burner in an original tiled fireplace.

The second reception room, currently used as a games room, is also a great size with a beautiful bay window and original fireplace. Next door is the snug lounge, with solid wooden floors and blue tiled fireplace with an ornate wooden surround. This leads through into the stunning kitchen-diner, with sleek tiled floors which have been pre-plumbed for installing underfloor heating. Dove grey shaker-style base and wall units offer ample storage, as well as integrated full-height fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher and the original enamel Belfast sink. A gas AGA stove sits within the chimney breast, and a large kitchen island with contrasting blue units takes centre stage beneath pendant lighting in a recessed ceiling feature. Bi-fold doors lead to the decking and garden beyond – ideal for enjoying a morning coffee or the summer breeze.

To the rear of the ground floor, follow the original Victorian tiled floors down the hallway to the downstairs shower room, with W.C. and vanity basin. There is also a large utility which leads on to a boot room, including Belfast sink and panelled walling.

Up to Bed…

Upstairs, you'll find five double bedrooms, a bathroom and plans to create an upstairs reception/lounge area. The master bedroom is an indulgent retreat, with dual aspect windows offering serene leafy views. A walk-in wardrobe provides all-important storage for all your belongings, and even a laundry chute which drops your clothing straight into the utility room! The en-suite is part-finished, plastered and electrics wired ready for you to add sanitary ware and floor coverings – perfect for you to add your own design. Three of the other bedrooms are all great double sizes, with original fireplaces and newly fitted deep-pile carpets. At present, the fifth bedroom and family bathroom are part-finished, with plans to create a larger bathroom, and snug lounge for the fifth bedroom. These plans can be discussed during a viewing.

Outside Oasis…

There are gardens to the front, side and rear of the property, with wooden decking just outside the bi-fold doors to the rear. A pergola offers a sheltered place to sit and enjoy evenings with friends and family, surrounded by mature hedges to offer privacy.  To the side of the property is a driveway with parking, and access to the cellar which offers four great sized rooms for storage.
