Introduction

Claremont Avenue sits in Heaton Chapel, the most connected of the four Heatons, between Stockport and Manchester. The property’s original Edwardian details — high ceilings, a spacious basement, decorative ceiling coving and stained glass doorway are set against contemporary finishes. The current owner's refurbishment introduced a new kitchen and bathrooms while keeping the period features intact.

Stepping inside

A tiled porch opens to the entrance hall, where wooden floorboards run underfoot and a stained glass window colours the light above the doorway. From the spacious entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor, and doors lead off to the two reception rooms, the kitchen and utility room as well as access down to the basement. To the front of the house, the living room centres on its decorative fireplace. A large, south facing bay window offers an outlook onto the street while outdoor planting provides privacy. Its counterpart, the bay-fronted dining room, faces the garden — ample space here for entertaining, with natural light drawn in from two directions. At the heart of the plan is the kitchen: Modern base and eye-level units, expansive work surfaces and an integrated dishwasher, with room for a breakfast table in place of the current freestanding island. A door opens to the garden. Off the kitchen, a separate utility room with ample storage provides space for laundry, along with a downstairs WC and washbasin. Upstairs, the landing is flooded with natural light by a skylight. From the landing, doors lead to four well-proportioned bedrooms as well as the family bathroom and a storage cupboard. The principal bedroom is a generous double at the front, with an en-suite of WC, basin and panelled bath with shower over and screen. The family bathroom is a four-piece suite - freestanding bath, walk-in shower, WC and basin — with tiled walls and floors. A sizeable cellar with three chambers provides excellent storage, with clear potential for conversion into further living space (subject to the usual permissions).

Exterior

Set back from the road and with a driveway for one car, the house opens at the rear to a garden of generous proportions. A paved patio sits closest to the house — the obvious spot for outdoor dining - beyond which the lawn stretches out, flanked by well-established rose bushes and an apple tree.

Location

Heaton Chapel's amenities are a short walk away: Littlewoods the traditional butcher, Feed General Store for coffee and brunch, the award-winning Heaton Hops tap house and a crop of independent restaurants. The much-loved shops, cafés and pubs of Heaton Moor are ten minutes on foot, with parks, green spaces and good schools — including Priestnall — close by. The house is very well connected by public transport: Heaton Chapel station is 0.1 miles from the door, with trains to Manchester in ten minutes and Stockport in under five. From Stockport Station, 1.9 miles away, direct high-speed services reach London Euston in two hours and three minutes, while the A6 and the northwest motorway network are easily reached by car.

This is a peaceful and bright period home brilliantly connected to the best of Greater Manchester. The current owners love being in walking distance from the shops, bars and restaurants of Stockport, Levenshulme and the Heatons as well as the convenience of reaching Manchester in 15 minutes door-to-door. The Peak District is easily reachable by car or train for weekend hikes and a countryside fix.

Tenure

The property is leasehold with approx. 850 years remaining on the lease. There is a “peppercorn” ground rent of £6 annually.
