4 bed detached house for sale

Old Hall Road, Gatley, Cheadle SK8

If you're local to Gatley village currently or have been exploring moving here then you'll more than likely recognise this iconic home offered with no chain - the house that offers something for everyone from the perfect location to be in the heart of the action whilst feeling secluded to the expertly designed and implemented extension making the most of the generous plot.

This isn't your usual family home though, it is believed the property was originally called Orchard House which is a nod towards its history of being built on the old orchard and is situated a short stroll to Gatley train station as well as a short stumble to the Village with its array of restaurants, bars and pubs. That isn't where the magic ends though, the house itself is perfectly designed for family living with four double bedrooms, an en-suite and family bathroom, huge living room, gardens to play in, double garage and at the heart of it all a large open plan living kitchen!

This could be one of Gatley's most enviable locations for those house hunting. You've got the ideal mix of school catchment with easy access to Gatley Primary School, Cheadle Village Primary School and more; plenty of amazing green spaces to explore like Gatley Park, Gatley Carrs and Abney Hall Park; you've got motorway access across the north west, trains to Manchester city centre, bus routes to the Airport, hospitals and Media City, bike routes down the Mersey; and Gatley Village is just a short stroll away with a range of independent and small chain shops, bars and restaurants! That's not forgetting you are just down the road from Cheadle Village too.

There is definitely more to this offering than just location though with the house providing so much for a range of buyers. This feels like the finished family home sat patiently for the next owner to come in and love it as much as the current owners have however it could be ideal for those who are looking for their first home, commuters, young professionals and relocators alike!

The first thing you'll notice about this home is the secure electric gate which helps create that illusion of seclusion along with the high fencing that could easily be complimented with natural borders. You'll probably notice the huge extension completed by the previous owner next which adds so much space and finishes the home off perfectly. Finally you spy the double garage that is powered and insulated to look after your cars but could be the perfect all American hide out spot for your teenagers with a ping pong table and pool table!

Upon entering the grounds via the electric gate you are greeted by a large driveway with space for several vehicles in front of the garage (ideal for those with grown up children) and a quaint pathway up to the house. You'll open the front door to the entrance hall with downstairs WC/utility and large storage as well as plenty of space to store the pram, shoes and coats. A grand set of double doors opens this space into the modern living kitchen space. This is will be the heart of the home and will be high on most people's wish lists for their next home. Given it's unique L shape, it is a unique versatile space that can be used in a variety of ways. It currently has a large formal dining space along side a breakfast table for eating with the kids but you could easily fit a sofa alongside the table giving you chance to watch older kids while they do their homework and you cook or for those entertainers among you you could throw lavish dinner parties around a grand table or even just a big family get together where you throw open the bi folds combining the open plan living with the exquisite rear courtyard. However you are going to use this space, it's ready for you though and with the immaculate décor alongside modern tech such as space for wall mounted TVs and built in speakers. One thing that does shine in this room though is the way the light floods the space - very similar to the living room next door. Both rooms benefit from having huge bi folding doors getting the light from one side while the bay windows to the front create a classy space which also draws the light in.

The living room is accessed via another set of double doors which just adds to the grandeur of the space which is perfect for any family size! While this space currently feels more formal you can still see the children's influence with toys hidden away but imagine Christmas Day in a space like this, it will be magical. However, in those summer months you'll be able to throw the bi-folds open and let the kids play outside in the rear courtyard while you relax in the evening in front of the TV. Again the strong décor choices come through which only elevates the room.

As mentioned the ground floor has a large storage cupboard under the stairs but also the downstairs WC which also has a handy space for the washing machine!

Upstairs is just as versatile as the ground floor and that comes down the intelligent decisions made while extending. No room is sacrificed to fit another in, you have four double bedrooms meaning no arguing about rooms (well maybe about who gets the en-suite ...) and could fit any size family in it! However for those that work from home there is a secret in the loft, accessed via a pull down ladder there is a fitted office space. If you are after a full home office though you could look at converting the garage or one the bedrooms as well. Finally there is a family bathroom, spacious enough for a tiled shower cubicle, bath, WC, sink and storage space.

Now onto the outside which could be a surprise bonus to some people. The plot offers a lot more space than the pictures and outside allude too. You have all the parking to the front, lawns at the front of the property and around the side which look perfect for a kick about or a trampoline and a modern low maintenance courtyard to the rear. There's even space for a play house by the garage! Having these zones creates a unique feeling allowing kids to play, adults to relax and pets to run around safely behind the secure fencing and gates. The double garage was installed by the previous owner and has space for two large cars but it also hides a secret. It has been insulated to keep the space warm and the cars safe and has power throughout. These means you could look at converting into a home office, annexe for family or simply just the best hang out spot for teenagers!

So if you agree that this sounds like the perfect home, now is the time to pick up the phone and quote GY0737.
