About this home
A substantial four-bedroom detached family home occupying a fantastic elevated plot in a popular Shaw location. Offering approximately 1,247 sq ft of accommodation, the property features two reception rooms, four bedrooms, family bathroom, generous gardens, garage and excellent off-street parking. Complete with stunning far-reaching views and conveniently positioned for local schools, Shaw town centre, bus routes and the Metrolink, this is a superb long-term family home.
Occupying a generous elevated plot on the ever-popular Hillside Avenue, this substantial four-bedroom detached family home offers approximately 1,247 sq ft of versatile accommodation, two reception rooms, excellent off-road parking, a garage and fantastic gardens, all complemented by wonderful far-reaching views.
Offered on a leasehold basis with approximately 953 years remaining, this is a property that delivers exactly what many growing families are searching for – genuine space inside and out, four bedrooms, flexible living accommodation and a sizeable plot, while remaining conveniently positioned for Shaw town centre, well-regarded local schools and excellent transport connections.
The ground floor immediately demonstrates the versatility of the home. There are two generous reception rooms, allowing a family to create separate spaces for relaxing, entertaining and everyday life. The main living room provides a comfortable family lounge, while the second sitting room could work equally well as a snug, children's playroom, home office or more formal reception room.
A separate dining area provides plenty of room for family meals and entertaining, while the kitchen offers a generous amount of fitted storage and preparation space with an outlook towards the garden. A useful ground-floor WC further enhances the practicality of the layout.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, making this a genuine family home with enough space to accommodate a growing household without having to compromise on additional office or guest space. The bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, with the overall first-floor arrangement offering excellent flexibility.
At approximately 1,247 sq ft, the house provides considerably more space than many properties of its type, and the accommodation is well balanced between the ground and first floors.
Outside is where Hillside Avenue really begins to stand apart.
The property occupies a substantial plot with excellent off-street parking to the front together with access to the garage – an increasingly important feature for family buyers.
To the rear is a large garden providing plenty of room for children, pets and entertaining. Established lawned areas are complemented by patio and seating spaces, creating a garden that can be enjoyed throughout the warmer months while still offering plenty of potential for a new owner to personalise further.
The elevated position also provides one of the property's most impressive features – its stunning far-reaching views. Combined with the generous gardens and space surrounding the house, there is a fantastic open feel that is difficult to replicate on more densely developed estates.
Hillside Avenue itself is a brilliant position for family life. Shaw offers a strong selection of everyday shops, supermarkets, cafés, pubs, restaurants and independent businesses, with the town centre within easy reach.
Families are also particularly well catered for when it comes to education, with a choice of established primary and secondary schools throughout Shaw and the surrounding area.
Public transport connections are another major advantage. Regular bus services operate throughout Shaw and towards Oldham, Rochdale and neighbouring areas, while Shaw and Crompton Metrolink provides convenient connections towards Oldham, Rochdale and Manchester.
For those travelling by car, the location provides straightforward access towards Oldham, Rochdale, Royton and the Saddleworth villages, alongside connections to the wider Greater Manchester road and motorway network.
The real attraction of 56 Hillside Avenue is the combination of everything it offers. This isn't simply a four-bedroom house – it is a substantial detached family home sitting on a large plot, with two reception rooms, garage, driveway parking, excellent gardens and fantastic views, all within a well-established and highly convenient Shaw location.
For buyers looking for a property with the space to become a genuine long-term family home, Hillside Avenue represents a superb opportunity.
