Welcome to Clarkes Hill House

Nestled on a sprawling 2.5-acre plot, Clarkes Hill House is a Tudor-style period property dating back to the 1700s, offering a rare blend of historical charm and modern luxury. As you approach via a private country lane off Ringley Road, the tranquillity of the countryside envelops you, despite being just 20 minutes from Manchester city centre and a mere three-minute drive to the Metrolink. This unique property in Whitefield stands apart with its unparalleled seclusion and breathtaking surroundings. The private country lane, within the 2.5 acres, is owned exclusively by the property owners, ensuring ultimate privacy.

Upon purchasing the property, it required a complete renovation, which has been meticulously carried out to the highest standards. The entire house has been rewired, fully insulated, and redesigned to accommodate contemporary open-plan living while preserving its original character and charm. New double-glazed windows have been installed throughout, and the outdated oil heating system has been replaced with an energy-efficient Valiant gas boiler.

Entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious and inviting living/dining room. This area seamlessly flows into the heart of the home—the expansive kitchen/family room. Here, broad picture windows and doors draw the garden inside, making it an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen also features an integrated TV, perfect for keeping up with your favourite shows while cooking or entertaining.

The fully fitted German kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting high-end appliances including two AEG ovens (a single fan oven and a combination steam oven), two 60/40 split Electrolux built-in fridge freezers, a 4-in-1 boiling water tap, a Siemens induction hob, a cda glass-fronted built-in wine cooler, a cda 60cm integrated dishwasher, and an Elica Star Diamonte extractor hood. The island worktop and sills are crafted from Silestone quartz, offering both elegance and durability. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient utility room, a small creatively designed office space perfect for working from home, and a ground floor WC.

Character features abound in the main lounge, where original cornices, a fireplace, and functional wooden shutters on the windows have been lovingly retained. The ground floor is adorned with travertine marble tiles and benefits from underfloor heating, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Ascending the bespoke steel-fabricated balustrade and handrails on the stairwell, you reach the first floor, which houses the principle bedroom. This luxurious space includes floor-to-ceiling mirrored fitted German wardrobes and a dressing room, offering a private retreat for relaxation. An additional bedroom on this floor is perfect for guests or family members, and the family bathroom provides convenience and luxury for all.

The second floor reveals another spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes, providing ample storage and a private haven away from the main living areas.

The garden has undergone a comprehensive makeover to enhance the open aspect views of the land, making it a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining. The property also includes a shared septic tank and a previously granted application for the erection of three double garages (approximately 60ft x 20ft), which having reinstated should be a real possibility.

Clarkes Hill House is not only a private haven but also conveniently located. It is within walking distance of Hirst Wood Country Park, accessible via the bridle path next to the property. Four supermarkets, a Metrolink station to Manchester, and a bus stop at the bottom of the lane are all within a one-mile radius. The area boasts numerous bars and restaurants, and some of the best schools in Manchester are just a short drive away, including St Monicas, Phillips High, and Bury Grammar.

The property is south-facing, allowing you to enjoy sunshine throughout the day, and is just 1.5 miles from junction 17 of the M62 motorway, providing easy access to the broader region. This exceptional home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, making it an ideal residence for those seeking a private, luxurious lifestyle close to all amenities.
