6 bed detached house for sale

Manchester Old Road, Middleton, Manchester M24

Hunters are proud to present this exceptional six-bedroom detached substantial Victorian villa, believed to have been built circa 1860 by the Apsell Family, owners of the former Tonge Mill. The residence is perfectly positioned opposite Limefield Park on the sought-after Manchester Old Road and less than 3 minutes walk to Alkrington Woods Nature Reserve which offers over 120 acres of mature woodland, meadows, rivers and fishing lodges.

Thoughtfully restored and redesigned by the current owners, the home exemplifies superior craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout. Offered with no chain and freehold tenure, this distinctive property seamlessly blends period features with high-quality modern upgrades and expansive, beautifully maintained grounds — an ideal home for large or growing families.

Upon entering, a grand hallway with original flooring and high ceilings sets a welcoming tone. Two elegant front reception rooms, both bathed in natural light from large bay windows and side windows featuring original wooden shutters, offer ideal spaces for entertaining or relaxing. Continuing through the hallway, you'll find a spacious dining room with traditional wooden flooring, perfect for hosting large gatherings.

The ground floor also boasts a well-equipped kitchen and breakfast area, complete with premium appliances, which connects to a separate, self-contained annex. This additional living space includes a second kitchen, bathroom, lounge and a double bedroom — ideal for extended family or guests. The annex is easily separated / combined into the main residence with two lockable internal doors.

A stylish garden room at the rear of the property overlooks the garden, while a convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the traditional landing leads to five large bedrooms. The standout master suite features a duplex design, with a spiral staircase leading to a private upper level that includes a lounge (with ideal work from home office space), bathroom featuring twin bathtubs, and separate shower room — perfect for modern living.

A spacious family bathroom, a Jack & Jill shower room, and an en-suite to one of the bedrooms ensure convenience and comfort for all.

For added versatility, the property includes a large basement divided into three rooms — offering excellent potential for conversion into games / entertainment spaces or an additional self-contained living space.

Additionally, a separate log cabin, currently used as an exercise studio and office, benefits from a shower & WC, electricity and ethernet connections.

Outside, the rear garden offers a private oasis, tastefully landscaped with a mix of lawn and decking, and includes a hot tub area. The front of the property features a large driveway providing ample off-road parking.

Ideally located in a popular residential area, this home offers easy access to local amenities, well-regarded schools, motorway links, Heaton Park, and is just around 7 miles from Manchester City Centre.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, charm, and outstanding potential of this unique family home.
