luxury real estate for sale Lancaster, United Kingdom
House Lancaster (United Kingdom)
A truly impressive late Victorian gentleman’s former residence that has a commanding presence on one of Lancaster’s primary residential streets. Rich in authentic architectural details, Summerfield packs a mighty punch and offers a lifestyle set against a backdrop of the grandeur and elegance of a bygone age; embracing beautifully proportioned rooms with high ceilings and tall windows, the light filled accommodation offers fabulous space and remarkable scale. Regarded as a local landmark it is often admired by passers by and for good reason too, it has immense kerb appeal with three statuesque floors of living space as well as a floor of cellar rooms offering both already upgraded room and additional scope if more space was required. Perfectly in balance with the size of the house the generous gardens are private and secluded thanks to the varied and well established trees and shrubs. Set back off the road with views over the front garden towards the ever changing vista of the Lancaster Canal there is excellent parking provision and a detached double garage all set within an electric gated entrance. The rear garden isn’t overlooked and is enclosed to make it safe for children and pets. With a large seating terrace, ample level lawn, low upkeep shrubberies and a kitchen garden with orchard, it has open country views towards Lancaster Castle over the unspoilt greenery of the neighbouring Fairfield Nature Reserve. Advantageously positioned Summerfield enjoys a sunny position that illuminates the handsome sandstone elevations. Accommodation offers an entrance vestibule and hallway, sitting and dining rooms, home office/snug, dining kitchen, cloakroom and rear vestibule. Off the first floor landing are three double bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room and laundry room. On the second floor are three further double bedrooms – the perfect children’s floor. The cellars extend under the entire footprint of the house and provide a lower hallway, seventh double bedroom (or a great home office) with ensuite shower room, a games room, walk in shelved pantry and two further traditional and presently unmodernised cellar rooms. Once upon a time the house had a conservatory attached, this was sold off decades ago and has now been replaced with a separate house, its presence in no way affects the privacy of Summerfield. Home is everything and Summerfield has been a much loved one for this family since 2006; now it’s the turn of the next owners to create their own perfect family home, one where future memories will be made. Historical Note Local historians Andrew White and Susan Ashworth visited the property and researched the history on behalf of the owners. They reported that Summerfield appears to be one of the later houses to be built on Aldcliffe Road, the Harrison & Hall map of 1887 doesn’t show a building, but by the Ordnance Survey of 1892 it was complete. In the early years it was occupied by Thomas Green, JP who became an Alderman of Lancaster, his wife, Jane, their niece, and one servant, Annie Dearden. Vendor Insight We already lived in Lancaster and had often admired Summerfield from afar. Our fourth child was on the way, we had outgrown our last house so to us this really was the ultimate, the idea of all of this space, both in the house and garden was absolutely wonderful. The location suited us down to the ground as we can walk into the city centre and as they got older the children could walk to school. It has worked well for our growing family, we have used every single bit of the house and thoroughly enjoyed our time here but with the children off to university and jobs, it’s time for us to downsize, we want to stay local as we love all that the city has to offer. It’s been a super family house, we’ve loved it all and been very happy here. Location Within a Conservation Area, Aldcliffe Road offers the best of both worlds and provides an attractive balance to life, all that the busy and bustling city of Lancaster has to offer is within walking distance and yet returning home there is a sense of peace and tranquility that pervades this smart and very well regarded residential street that overlooks historic Lancaster Canal at the front and Fairfield Nature Reserve at the back. Aldcliffe Road has a lot of admirers and it’s not hard to see why, there are some beautiful houses along here. Lancaster has multi-generational appeal with an established cultural and music scene, bars and restaurants offering cuisines from around the world, an excellent range of high street and independent shops and a comprehensive provision of professional services, two universities (Lancaster and Cumbria) and good healthcare with both private and NHS hospitals in the city. Summerfield is convenient for those working at the universities and is within walking distance for the hospitals and children attending the Grammar Schools or Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy. Whether you need to travel for business or love to get out and about for pleasure, transport links are to hand with convenient access onto the M6 at either J33 or J34 depending on the direction of your travel and a train station scheduling regular services to Manchester, London Euston and Edinburgh on the main West Coast line. Vendor Insight The location has really worked for us. As a place to live it’s quiet. We really value being able to cross the road, get onto the canal tow path and walk in either direction. We’ve got great access to the station, to the countryside and to the city centre, with easy walking to the doctors’ surgery and hospital. Living here we feel we can experience the best of city life and can easily pop in for shops, the cinema or meals out but when we look out of the windows there’s trees and fields at the back of the house and at the front, the canal. Life on the canal and tow path is fascinating, it’s an ever-changing view with barges slowing passing up, walkers, runners and cyclists… it’s lovely watching the world go by. Step Inside First impressions count and Summerfield has tremendous kerb appeal, three handsome floors of imposing late Victorian architecture, golden sandstone elevations, tall sash windows, an impressive front door and approach. Crossing the threshold and the period details keep revealing themselves and never fail to disappoint. The front vestibule has an original patterned ceramic tiled floor, the rear vestibule has one too, but this is a masterly reproduction specially commissioned to replace the damaged original. The inner front door from the vestibule into the hall has beautiful etched glass panels with floral motifs in the style of the Arts and Crafts Movement, walking through and the hallway is welcoming, amply proportioned and the ceiling height soars (it’s a lofty 3.4 meters on the ground floor). Ahead is the staircase with its substantial mahogany newel post and pitch pine strings, handrails and balusters (the fact that there are three per tread gives an indication of the scale of this impressive staircase). Internal doors are pitch pine with burred panels, the rich golden tones chiming well with the fingerplates with brass floriated cross inserts. Cast your eyes up and you’ll note the ornate moulded plaster cornices, the decorative ceiling roses and in some rooms, picture rails as well. The sitting and dining rooms are at the front of the house, both have low window seats and fireplaces. The dining room fireplace is an original one, carved of pale grey marble, the one in the sitting room isn’t original to the house, but you’d never know as the grey marble surround looks right at home. Both rooms look over the front garden towards the canal and the waterside houses opposite. The third reception room, the snug, is now used as a home office, being on the rear elevation it enjoys views over the back garden and has proved to be a great place to work. There’s a black marble mantelpiece with twin alcove cupboards having unusual top curved detailing. Modern office needs are well catered for with a fitted desk, open shelves and storage cupboards. For an easy life, all three ground floor fireplaces are fitted with gas flame effect fires. The kitchen is also at the back of the house and so, like the office, enjoys the afternoon and evening sun. French doors open to the flagged terrace and provide a lovely flow in the warmer months when the terrace becomes a much-frequented summer sitting and dining area and route to the garden. The kitchen strikes a chord of modernity with a sleek and contemporary Sie Matic kitchen from wellregarded local suppliers Mark Leigh in Lancaster. Extensive storage is provided by the black granite topped cabinets and with a large peninsular unit extending into a breakfast bar having space for stools making a handy spot for one to sit and chat, whilst the other slowly stirs something on the stove. The Miele induction hob and extractor fan are set into an illuminated recess, there’s also a Miele double oven and dishwasher. The tall larder fridge and freezer are both Siemens. There are two doors into the dining room enabling good circulation, the dining room has a most unusual floor, centrally there are pine floorboards but the perimeter is edged with narrow strips of maple. It’s distinctive and very attractive. Like the front vestibule, the rear one has space for coats to be hung as well as boot storage and a handy bench so you can perch as you take outside footwear off. The downstairs cloakroom is here too, fittings are Victorian in style and continue the character of the house. The cellars extend under the entire footprint of the house. Two rooms are in daily use (they are tanked, have central heating radiators and engineered oak flooring) and two rooms are virtually untouched (one has a stone topped central table) and provide storage as well as possible scope for upgrading. There’s an overflow bedroom here, a double room with a window in a light well, fitted double wardrobe and an ensuite shower room. The games room has been an absolute boon for a household with four children, the space has taken various forms over the years as the children have grown and interests have come and gone, but it would also accommodate a gym or hobbies space. The walk-in shelved pantry is a great asset and ideal for drinks and bulky storage. The imposing staircase and light filled stairwell are defining features of Summerfield, deep treads rise gracefully to the first floor via a half landing; it’s worth pausing here to take in the view – you can see Lancaster Castle on the horizon, it’s apparently a vantage point for the annual fireworks display. Off the landing are three double bedrooms, the principal bedroom had exposed pine floorboards and extra tall fitted wardrobes (standard height would have simply looked lost with ceilings this high), matching dressing table and bedside units. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom and separate shower room, both of which are on the first floor and have Victorian style fittings including a roll top tub in the bathroom. A clever touch is the siting of the laundry room on this floor, there’s little sense in taking all of the washing to the ground floor, only to bring it all the way back up once ironed. Here you’ll find a cupboard housing the hot water tank so the room stays aired, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a condenser drier. There’s extra storage units and a handy sink unit should you need to hand wash or soak anything. The pitch pine staircase to the second floor is similar in character and size to the main one, this time with single turned balusters. The second floor is absolutely perfect for children. Up here all the pine floorboards have been stripped and varnished, there are three double bedrooms, this high up you can imagine how fabulous the views are, indeed for the largest bedroom at the front you’re on a level with the tops of the trees in the front garden, it’s like being in a treehouse, there are also four remote control Velux skylights with fitted blinds in this room so it’s exceptionally light too. There’s good ceiling height up here, exposed pine roof trusses add character and there are fitted wardrobes or storage in all rooms. Vendor Insight We’ve found it to be a great house for having friends and family over. Between the sitting and dining rooms and the kitchen we can accommodate quite a number; we tend to host a drinks party at Christmas which is always a lovely occasion, we have a tree in the sitting room window – because of the ceiling height we have a particularly tall tree which is impressive and enjoyable to decorate. Christmas is particularly special here – the space allows us all to be in the same room when we want to be, but also spread out and do our own thing. One occasion that springs to mind was when we had a marquee on the back lawn to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had a bar, hog roast and band, it was great fun, very memorable indeed. As you can imagine with four children, over the years we’ve had dozens of birthday parties, for the summer ones we’ve been lucky to nearly always have good weather and we’ve been able to be out in the garden. As teenagers when the children have had friends over everyone migrates up to the top floor – it’s ideal, we can’t hear them and there’s plenty of floor space for a sleepover. Step Outside Arriving at Summerfield and you drive though imposing stone gate posts, the electric gates glide open and you can pull up either at the front door or drive down the side of the house to the garage, a double with undercroft storage beneath. The drive and parking areas are all laid with beautiful granite blocks, a well-considered and excellent choice, the colour lifts the aesthetic of the surrounds rather than tarmac and unlike gravel, it also means that children may happily ride their scooters and bikes. In the front garden sits a large stone lintel, it used to be above the old range cooker in the kitchen but when the kitchen was redone it was removed and repurposed as a bench, a handy spot to perch with a morning coffee in the sun. At the front the houses opposite are set back behind the canal and their gardens so there’s a greater feeling of space and privacy than in a road where houses face each other directly. Awakening the day, the rooms at the front of the house capture the morning sun, it then moves round to the back of the house and importantly, the main garden. The top terrace by the French windows from the kitchen basks in the last on the sun’s rays – sat out here on a warm summer’s evening with a glass of something chilled, friends or family gathered round, or just the two of you must be a lovely way to round off the day. The back garden is tiered, the main seating area running straight out from the house. Steps lead down to the large level lawn, right behind the garage an area has been designed to accommodate a trampoline, swing set or climbing frame. Beyond the lawn is a fence (to protect what lies beyond from stray footballs and the like), there’s an apple and pear orchard and a kitchen garden with a shed and raised beds separated by gravel and block paved paths. Throughout the garden planting is mainly trees and shrubs which were all carefully chosen to provide screening, increased privacy as well as seasonal interest through structure and colour. Outside there are hot and cold water taps as well as a selection of lights, some of which are on motion sensors as well as uplighters under a number of the trees. Vendor Insight On a warm day we open the French windows in the kitchen and all gravitate outside; it’s like an extra room for us. We set up the barbecue here or simply cook inside and take everything outside, it’s so convenient to just wander back and forth – the terrace gets the last of the sun too which is a bonus. We created the back garden almost from scratch. With four children we needed a big lawn for games and robust shrubs and plants that would withstand ball games. It’s very much a spring garden with daffodils planted in the beds along the edges of the lawn. In the new year there’s a beautiful camellia by the front door, it has red and pink alternating petals; most unusual. We’ve lots of rhododendrons around the garden in pinks and purples, bright reds and a creamy peach which follows the colour scheme in the general planting.

House Bolton (United Kingdom)
Offered with no onward chain, Davenport Farm is a unique, detached, high quality, character property in Ainsworth, set within a large, highly private plot with multiple outbuildings, exquisite gardens, and comprehensive grounds. This property is particularly perfect for garden lovers! There is also full planning permission to create a modern detached annexe (see details below). The main house is generous size totalling approx. 3,500 sq. ft, with four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, three reception rooms with the main one offering several reception areas within itself including a mezzanine gallery, a substantial open plan kitchen/diner/living room, utility room, cloak room/WC, and a large central hallway with porch. In addition to the main house, the outbuildings include a large orangery/summer house, a detached annex, and a double tandem garage. The exquisite garden and comprehensive grounds include a large, gated driveway, a children's playground, fruit and vegetable garden, and mature perennial gardens. The Living Space - Through an imposing front doorway with stained glass windows, the central hallway gives you the first glimpse of the generous proportions on offer at this spacious property. Stroll through to the left and the main reception room expresses this even more. The already generous footprint feels even bigger with the double height vaulted ceiling where original exposed beam work gives a nod to the property's past while giving a grand feeling. This super spacious reception room benefits from several areas within itself giving plenty of choice and space for even the largest of families. The main lounge area is brought to attention with a huge imposing fireplace to match the grandeur of the room, which houses a log burner that's sure to create a comforting warm glow during winter. The mezzanine gallery overlooks this fantastic fireplace and offers the ideal position for a home office. Underneath the gallery is an additional sitting room area creating an ideal spot for socialising when entertaining a crowd of family and friends. We have already covered three areas within this one large reception room, and the fourth is a home library area which is the bookworm's dream come true! Back through the hallway and past the cloak/WC which is presented in excellent condition, and through a corridor to the opposite side of the property is arguably the heart of the home - a brilliant open plan kitchen/diner/living room. Its no surprise this room is also of incredibly generous proportions, and also multifunctional in its use - there's a recurring theme at Davenport Farm, it's a home that just keeps on giving! The kitchen itself is of a traditional country kitchen aesthetic with a large central island surrounded by an abundance of storage and all the appliances you need. As you would expect in a high-quality kitchen, the units are hardwood, made from Chestnut, which offers a lovely light tone in contrast to the black granite worktop. In keeping with the country aesthetic there is an electric Aga which provides multiple ovens and hot plates, but the kitchen also benefits from a Neff integrated traditional electric oven and microwave for added practicality. Other integrated appliances in the kitchen include a full-length fridge, two sinks with traditional style mixer taps and inset carved granite drainers, plus an abundance of storage, including space efficient hidden drawers and larder cupboards. The kitchen also provides access onto a private patio which is a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee on warm summer mornings. From a practical angle the utility room provides even further storage, an allocated space for a large American style fridge-freezer, an additional sink and plumbing for the washer dryer. The utility leads onto a rear porch too, which is a convenient entrance for after the kids after getting wet and muddy, or an ideal spot for four legged friends to dry off. Before we head upstairs, the living space downstairs also includes two more reception rooms which offer further versatility in usage and offer more practicality for family life. One of the rooms is currently a TV room with an inset surround sound system, and the other a traditional dining room. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - Back into the central hallway and upstairs are four large double bedrooms that ensure everyone in the family has more than enough space. Two of the bedrooms are unique in shape with vaulted ceilings and exposed beam work that add an extra touch of character. The master bedroom is evidently a good size and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite which features a four-piece suite included bath with shower, wash basin, WC, and bidet. The second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite which features a three-piece suite including a walk-in shower, wash basin with integral storage units, and WC. The third bathroom upstairs is the main family bathroom which is a spacious room with five-piece suite including a freestanding feature roll top bath, walk-in corner shower, wash basin, WC and bidet. Outbuildings - The orangery/summer house is a brilliant addition to the main house, offering an attractive and equally spacious place to entertain family and friends on summer days. With an adjacent patio and steps down onto the manicured lawn and fantastic gardens it adds an extra element of indoor-outdoor living, and for garden parties, BBQs and social occasions. Or perhaps you want to escape the business of family life and get your head into a good book while enjoying the gorgeous garden - the choice is yours! The annex was once a double garage that the current owners converted. It is now used as storage but would easily be converted back to a one-bedroom annex. Or perhaps you would prefer it as something else? A home office separate to the house so you can run your business in peace and quiet? Gym? Hobby room or studio? Again, the choice is yours. The double tandem garage provides shelter for your cars or a massive amount of storage space. There are also several sheds positioned in different places throughout the grounds which provide plenty more storage space if required. Exquisite Gardens & Comprehensive Grounds - As well as the impressive house and several outbuildings, Davenport Farm comes with a fantastic range of exquisite gardens and comprehensive grounds. The most impressive part of the grounds are the mature perennial gardens which have been a labour of love for the current owners across several decades, meaning Davenport Farm is perfect for garden lovers. The gardens include a variety of beds and raised borders which can be appreciated when strolling through the secret garden paths or from soaking up sun on the manicured lawn or patio. The extensive range of beds and plants are taken care of with an automatic electric watering system which senses the type of weather and cares for the plants accordingly! A gardener's dream come true. As well as the mature beds and manicured lawn, the gardens also include a rare walkway tunnel of Wisteria, a garden folly, two ponds, and probably the widest variety of perennial plants and flowers you've ever come across! It's a private green oasis providing a delight for the senses year-round. From a practical angle, this property also comes with a brilliant children's playground with soft rubber ground, meaning the little ones can still enjoy playing outside without causing mayhem in the beautiful mature gardens! As well as the exquisite gardens and practicality for the kids, there is also an extensive fruit and vegetable garden which the owners use to be near self-sufficient. A Convenient Semi-Rural Location - Situated in Ainsworth between the two larger towns of Bolton and Bury, this semi-rural location is ideal if you're looking for a quieter, greener lifestyle without being isolated from the convenience of nearby amenities and a handful of neighbours. Within the surrounding areas are a good variety of supermarkets and retail areas, as well as independent shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and a selection of good schools to choose from, and the location is well connected for commuters, with multiple train stations in Bolton and Bury providing direct rail links into Manchester and further afield, while the M60, M61, and M66 can easily be accessed by car. Planning Permission To Create Annexe - An added benefit of Davenport Farm is the potential to develop one of the outbuildings that currently exists. Full planning permission has been granted to create a modern annexe with one double bedroom, two reception rooms, kitchen, and bathroom. Plans of the approved scheme can be seen at the end of the gallery of images. Services & Specifics - The property is freehold. The tax band is H. The property is Grade II listed dating back to 1723. The gas supply is via its own tank - the current owners use biogas. There is gas central heating with a Vaillant boiler. There is a mega flow tank to ensure enough hot water for 3 bathrooms and good pressure/flow on all showers. The heating for most of the house is a water-based radiator system but the kitchen benefits from electric underfloor heating. All windows benefit from two sets of double-glazed windows, hence giving a quadruple glazed effect. There are two loft spaces which are boarded with loft ladders installed. The property has two alarm systems and CCTV. The property's drainage is via a private sewage treatment plant. There is EV charging ability at the property.

The elevation is faced in massive ashlar masonry with channelled rustication. Pedimented central entrance of three bays, with Doric pilasters flanking the entrance doorway and glazing bar sash windows either side. Flanking three-bay ranges with tall windows below channelled heads, the openings now mainly blocked or infilled.

Bold commissioned the Venetian architect, Giacomo Leoni, who was working in Cheshire at Lyme Park in the late 1720's, to design a new mansion and supporting buildings. The mansion was a nine-bay, three-storeyed, structure with an attached Corinthian portico and a stone-faced ground storey in channelled rusticated masonry. It was demolished c.1900. The east elevation of the stable range replicates in miniature form the architectural detail of the former hall's principal elevation. The park to the hall was the second largest in South Lancashire. The principal elevations of both the stables and the present Home Farmhouse face in the direction of the site of the former hall.The former stable range to Bold Hall and the associated dwelling house, now the Home Farmhouse are the principal surviving elements of the Bold Hall Estate, developed in the early-mid C18 to serve Bold Hall, designed by the notable Venetian architect, Giacomo Leoni c.1730, and demolished c.1900.

The typical historical façade, in excellent condition, looms impressively from a pristinely established garden as it has for generations before and speaks to the many memories made within its walls. The current owners have maintained the property to impeccable standards, ensuring that the classical period features have all been preserved and enhanced for efficiency and minimal maintenance. EPC Rating: C There are many established reasons why the discerning purchaser would choose a Victorian home to invest in. They are typically well-built and spacious, with good layouts and proportions, in prime locations and with plenty of charming period features. But few examples are able to tick every box as this superior property in Marple does. The typical historical façade, in excellent condition, looms impressively from a pristinely established garden as it has for generations before and speaks to the many memories made within its walls. The current owners have maintained the property to impeccable standards, ensuring that the classical period features have all been preserved and enhanced for efficiency and minimal maintenance. The most striking stained-glass windows set in symmetrical bay windows are the first to attract ones' attention. These have all been rebuilt and encapsulated for efficiency and to preserve them for future generations. The windows have all been replaced at huge expense with hardwood frames and noise attenuating double glazing. An ornate stone archway over the front door opens to a small practical porch in which is set a decorative stained glass internal door, leading to a grand and breath-taking hallway. The immaculately restored encaustic mosaic tiles provide the backdrop to the countless period features proudly displayed: high ceilings; cornicing; ceiling roses; turned balustrades; Lincrusta wall covering; original radiators; framed doorways; and decorative arches. All the living rooms lead off from this extraordinary hallway and every door reveals its own series of delightful ornamentation beyond. Throughout the house the original Victorian fireplaces have been restored, beautifully presenting the ornate tiled inserts and decorative surrounds. The living rooms are well proportioned, large rooms, featuring typically high moulded ceilings and cornices, with wooden floors and large windows. The first room to the left of the entrance is a large sitting room with a bay window inset with stunning stained-glass windows. To the right is a drawing room similarly appointed. The charming dining room is one of the current owners' favourite rooms in the house. They recall magical family Christmas dinners hosted in this cosy space. Beautifully decorated, it has retained the original Crittall windows with blown plate glass and a door leading out to the terrace. The gorgeous carved wooden mantelpiece surrounds the original cast iron fireplace now inset with a gas fire. The former tack room has been sensitively converted to an oak panelled study with wooden parquet flooring and a guest W/C. Two original Victorian floor to ceiling cupboards have been incorporated into the beautiful dining kitchen, seamlessly blending with the new designer cabinets. The centre island contains an integrated microwave and is framed by a hanging pot rack. The work surfaces are a classic black granite. There is a LaLacanche range cooker with stainless steel extractor hood. A Belfast sink is set in front of a sash window with views to the coach house beyond. There is space for a large family dining table in front of double French doors leading to a flagstone terrace ideal for al fresco dining within the picturesque garden. On the stairs to the first floor are neat brass carpet rods and a spectacular stained glass picture window which has been secondary glazed outside to provide energy efficiency. Four large bedrooms lead from the voluminous landing. The main bedroom has been converted to an en-suite with a walk-in wardrobe and modern stone tiled shower room. The high-ceilinged room is very spacious and bright with dual aspect windows. It has a beautiful ornamental fireplace and lovely views of the park opposite the home. The remaining bedrooms are similarly appointed, each with a unique characteristic giving it particular charm. The generous proportions of the rooms dominate, and the decorative detail completes the classical Victorian charm of the home. These features are well represented in the delightful family bathroom and enamelled claw bath with brass detail. A second Jack and Jill bathroom provides for easy mornings getting the family ready on time. Below the home, and covering the full footprint of the house, is a cavernous basement with endless potential. It currently holds a utility / laundry room with an original feature stone sink and plumbing for two appliances as well as a workshop, wine cellar and storage rooms. However, the potential for this space is endless and could easily be incorporated into the house as additional reception rooms, bedrooms or workrooms. Outside, the property continues to deliver. Formally the coach house, a separate annex now incorporates a garage with automatic door, a kitchenette and the former hay loft which is currently used as a gym. This unit could be used as is for a home office or converted to living accommodation to rent. The cobbled driveway provides plenty of parking and turning space and leads to the electrified gates set in a stone wall surrounding the property. Ideally located close to the towns two stations, the home is effortlessly commutable to Manchester and London. But if you don't need to travel then you will find everything you need within walking distance. There are plenty of shops and businesses as well as excellent schools in the local neighbourhood. Memorial Park lies opposite the home which features a lovely children's playpark, skatepark and bowling green. Also nearby is the Roman Lakes Leisure Park and the Marple Locks where a myriad of wildlife, including otters and kingfishers, can be spotted. And of course, Marple lies within the scenic Peak District where walking trails and outdoor attractions are abundant. This property is an ideal family home and a wise investment ready for the next chapter of history to unfold.
