3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Broughton Road, Salford MK17

Believed to date back to the 17th century, this Grade II listed semi-detached thatched cottage is a home of exceptional character, seamlessly blending period charm with thoughtful modernisation. Set within the sought-after village of Salford, the property offers beautifully presented accommodation, combining original features with stylish contemporary finishes to create a truly unique family home.

From the moment you arrive, the cottage’s traditional thatched roof and striking façade set the tone for what lies within. Inside, exposed wall and ceiling beams, fireplaces, and an abundance of natural character celebrate the home’s rich heritage, while carefully considered extensions and upgrades ensure it caters effortlessly to modern living.

The heart of the home is the extended kitchen/breakfast room, reimagined with both practicality and style in mind. Limestone flooring, oak work surfaces, cream fitted cabinetry, glazed display units, and a plate rack combine to create a warm and inviting space. Vaulted ceilings with skylights flood the room with natural light, enhancing the sociable atmosphere.

The ground floor offers a versatile arrangement of reception spaces, including a charming sitting room and dining room, each featuring exposed beams, open fireplaces with brick surrounds and cast iron grates, and views over the garden. A separate study provides flexibility for modern family life, whether for entertaining, home working, or quiet relaxation.

Particularly impressive is the luxurious ground floor bathroom, beautifully appointed with a large double shower and striking bronze-coloured roll-top bath, creating a boutique hotel-style retreat.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two generous double rooms filled with natural light. The third bedroom is currently utilised as a dressing room but would equally suit use as a nursery, guest bedroom, or home office. A useful first floor cloakroom adds further practicality - a rare feature for a home of this period.

Outside, the landscaped south-facing garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide a tranquil extension of the living space. Mature planting, colourful borders, lawned areas, and multiple seating terraces create a private and peaceful setting ideal for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. A paved patio offers the perfect spot for al fresco dining, while a winding pathway leads to an insulated timber summerhouse with power and lighting connected, offering excellent potential as a studio, garden bar, or additional workspace.

Further benefits include off-road parking for up to three vehicles and an electric vehicle charging point, discreetly integrated into the property’s timeless surroundings.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved and sympathetically enhanced period home, offering all the romance and charm of a 17th century thatched cottage alongside the comfort, space, and functionality required for modern living.
