8 bed detached house for sale

Sheffield Road, Godley, Tameside, Greater Manchester SK14

The residence was previously separated into several independent residences: A three-bedroom house with four independent apartments - so this is far from the usually expected description.

Inside, this home delights the soul with the most beautiful period features, including, amongst many other features, an original, bespoke plasterwork ceiling with chandelier and high, shuttered windows, a marble fireplace and an 11 ft high ceiling and that is just in the sitting room..

Through the entrance porch, into the grand hallway, one can go left to the huge kitchen/dining room featuring shuttered windows and with utility, pantry and WC beyond or turn right from the hallway, into the 20ft long lounge which imbues you with a sense of grandeur and history. Further along the hallway, there is another hallway! Cleverly designed, the original hallway still exists and transports you up to the higher floors.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress and includes many fantastic features. The highest rooms have spectacular views over Werneth Low! In total, the property offers eight bedrooms and four bathrooms.

To the lower floor, there is also a cellar room, currently used for some free-time table tennis but also offering excellent storage potential or scope for conversion to suit individual needs.

Set within its own private gardens, the property features ample parking for several vehicles. The old washhouse now provide storage for garden equipment, and the old stable is now a detached garage. To the rear, beautiful, mature gardens (with an apple orchard and 50 year continuous organic veggie patch) provide a wonderful setting for relaxation and entertaining, with exceptional views over Werneth Low.

Ideally located for transport links, it is a 7-minute walk to Godley train station then 20mins to Manchester Picadilly and the wider UK rail network. The M67 is a five mins drive away connecting you easily to all major motorways. The area has a wealth of good schools and entertainment facilities.

Whether as a family, generational home or to be viewed with investment potential for development (stpp) (previous approved but expired planning details available) there is an exceptional amount of living space. This grand property has undergone a comprehensive renovation recently to part of the house, stripped back to the brickwork and carefully restored to create a truly stunning home of distinction. Some parts of the house require some cosmetic updating but overall, the property is in good condition.

Extending to over 5,000 sq. Ft., this is truly a unique and grand home of exceptional quality. An internal viewing is essential to appreciate the craftsmanship and care that have gone into this extraordinary building.
