A Closer Look...

Step through the charming front porch, hang your coat up and continue through into the impressive kitchen-dining-lounge. Spanning the entire floor, this space is perfect for entertaining guests or hosting family meals with great flow between the areas. The kitchen sits to the right, with cream base and wall units and butchers block worktops. There's an integrated double oven, microwave, dishwasher and even an espresso coffee maker, and the kitchen island houses the 5-ring gas hob and extractor hood. The dining room is a great size with a triple sash window letting lots of natural light in, and to the rear of the home is the family lounge with a balcony overlooking the scenic views of open countryside. 

The lower ground floor is home to a double bedroom, a spacious home office/study and a well-sized children's playroom/lounge. Continue down to the second lower ground floor, and there's a double bedroom also serves as a home office, as well as a spacious utility with mink-coloured units and plumbing for appliances, which leads through to a modern wet room, with fully tiled elevations, shower, pedestal wash basin, W.C. and chrome heated towel rail. 

Retrace your steps up to the first floor, and you'll find the amazing master suite with plush carpets, feature exposed stone wall and ceiling beams. There's a mezzanine level for storage, fully equipped with radiators, plug points and lighting, which you could install a lovely spiral staircase to (subject to structural surveys where required). A beautiful en-suite, fully tiled in neutral tones and boasting underfloor heating, offers a place to unwind at the end of the day. Boasting a shower above the bathtub, W.C., vanity basin and chrome heated towel rail, just imagine spending an evening in the bath with a glass of wine! There's also an impressive dressing room, also with underfloor heating, fully fitted with wardrobes and shelving for the ultimate clothing organisation, as well as a light-up mirror in the vanity area.  This floor also hosts a double bedroom, currently used as a home office and gym with those breathtaking views over the countryside. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom with underfloor heating, part tiled in stone with a walk-in shower, W.C., vanity basin and chrome heated towel rail. 

The current owners have replaced all of the windows with energy efficient UPVC sash windows, keeping the charm and character of the home while helping to keep it cosy and warm!

Outside Oasis...

To the rear of the home is a large, sweeping driveway with off-road parking and, unusually for this type of property, a very spacious garden! With plenty of mature planting, lawns and a patio/gazebo area, as well as a greenhouse, shed and chicken run - this garden is perfect for those with green-fingers and offers ample space to grow your own veg with the kids. 

Out and About…

Fifth Street is an idyllic English countryside location, steeped in history. You may recognise it from the ITV series ‘Ridley' where this house has been used for 2 series - and it's easy to see why. Adorable stone cottages with a lovely neighbourhood feeling, in the Barrow Bridge Conservation area and a stone's throw away from Moss Bank Park and rolling countryside. While you benefit from the semi-rural feeling, you're within easy distance of great local schools, shops and amenities. Take an afternoon out to Smithills Ice Cream Parlour or Smithills Farm with the kids or a lovely roast dinner at Bob's Smithy Inn, or perhaps work on your drive at Old Links Golf Club!
