5 Bed Detached House For Sale Moor Way, Bury, BL8

If location is everything, then it is hard to imagine one more desirable that the enviable position of this substantial detached residence, nestled against the commanding back-drop of the stunning Lancashire countryside and enjoying breath-taking, far-reaching views towards Holcombe Moor and Peel Monument. Occupying a slightly elevated position at the head of this peaceful and highly sought-after cul-de-sac, just off Hawkshaw Lane, the property occupies a large private plot which extends to circa 0.4 acres and abuts mature woodland and a meandering brook, in addition to beautiful countryside, creating a quite idyllic setting.\r
\r
Whilst the calming environment may instil the feeling of being miles away from civilisation, the reality is that the property is far from remote, situated at the heart of the pretty village of Hawkshaw, a thriving local community with much to offer those in search of a quality way of life, particularly those wishing to raise a family. St. Mary’s C.E. Primary School is within walking distance, as is the village store for all of those everyday essentials, whilst there are two delightful country pubs to choose from when one wishes to relax away the stresses of the day. Should one be in the mood for something a little more active, a plethora of local beauty spots are within easy reach, including reservoirs and country parks, or perhaps simply a bike ride or muddy stroll with the dogs through the surrounding countryside.\r
\r
The well presented accommodation is wonderfully spacious, extending to circa 2,655 square feet in total, with the expansive floorplan arranged across two inviting levels. One enters via the entrance hallway with its useful cloakroom and guest WC, before proceeding through the glazed double doors into the 14’ formal dining room, a lovely space in which to host those intimate dinner parties when one has the urge to entertain, perhaps stepping through the uPVC double glazed French doors into the garden for an after-dinner glass of something bubbly. The Oak flooring extends through into the adjoining 20’ lounge via the double doors, linking the spaces seamlessly and ensuring these two spaces can be opened up or closed off, as required, which will be ideal for those more populous gatherings. The lounge is lovely and bright via the dual aspect windows, again including direct access to the garden, and manages to feel effortlessly cosy despite its generous proportions, aided in no small part by the feature stone corner fireplace with its inset solid-fuel burner, which infuses such as warm and inviting ambience, as well as providing the ultimate crackling soundtrack to one’s evening of relaxation.\r
\r
The epitome of modern day living and a wonderfully sociable environment for the family, the open plan kitchen/diner/family room is certainly the quintessential hub of this home, an ideal space for all generations to gather together and the perfect spot in which to appreciate the magnificent gardens via the abundance of glazing, which does a fabulous job of integrating the indoor and outdoor environment. The kitchen is extensively fitted with a range of quality in-frame wall and base units in grey, with contrasting black granite work surfaces, incorporating a breakfast bar and a host of integrated appliances, including two electric ovens, halogen hob with overhead extractor canopy, microwave, wine cooler and dishwasher, whilst there is a handy off-lying utility room in which to keep the laundry out of view of unexpected visitors.\r
\r
If one ventures up to the first floor, the vast landing with its built-in storage cupboard creates a magnificent feature, as well as providing access to the five double bedrooms, four of which benefit from built-in storage. The 19’ principal bedroom is particularly spacious and enjoys an abundance of natural light via the dual aspect windows, whilst there is the added bonus of a dressing area and a private three piece en-suite shower room. The remainder of the household are suitably catered for by the main family bathroom, which is fully tiled and fitted with a three piece suite in white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled corner bath with overhead shower.\r
\r
Externally, the low-maintenance frontage provides all the off-road parking one could require on the extensive block-paved driveway, as well as facilitating access to the integral double garage. The remainder of the property is enveloped by the stunning gardens, which offer a high degree of privacy and provide a safe place for the youngest members of the family to burn off their boundless energy to their heart’s content. The expansive lawn is bordered by mature trees, hedging and shrubs, whilst there is a large paved patio on which to soak up the sunshine afforded by the southerly aspect.\r
\r
This rather special home can only be truly appreciated by an internal inspection.\r
