Cottage for sale in Bass Lane, Walmersley, Bury BL9

A rather rare commodity; we are often asked for the seemingly impossible - a stone cottage property with three double bedrooms, large gardens, plenty of parking, views down a valley to a stream, oh! And it has to be accessible! Stonelea on Bass Lane in Summerseat ticks all of those boxes and is indeed a bespoke country home and a rare opportunity. Built during the early 19th century Stonelea is a stone constructed, freehold semi detached country home having been meticulously restored and extended over the last 20 years to provide a beautiful family home. Set in gardens and grounds on Bass Lane close to the junction with the A56 and within a 'stones throw' of both the M66 entry and exit roads and yet there are views from most of the rooms down onto the gardens and beyond through the wooded valley, a good deal of which is within the ownership of the property. The current owners recently constructed a detached garage and store/workshop and laid a resin finished driveway to provide off road parking for up to five vehicles. The accommodation has combination gas fired central heating, upvc double glazing with (with working sash windows to the front) and the accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance porch, inner hall, lounge with woodburning stove, dining room, kitchen, rear lobby, guest cloakroom/w.c., conservatory, first floor landing, three double bedrooms (one with ensuite) and a main bathroom.
