About this home

Set along the popular Holcombe Road in the heart of Greenmount, this delightful two-bedroom end stone terrace is as rich in character as it is in comfort. Nestled behind a pretty garden gate, framed by a neat garden to the right and a gentle stone pathway ahead, the home welcomes with a timeless confidence. There’s plenty of parking along Holcombe Road and neighbouring North Avenue or scope to utilise the private garage tucked just across the way.

Step through the porch doors, a charming threshold complete with delicate stained-glass rose windows that catch the light in hues of ruby and green. The perfect place to store an umbrella, rest shopping bags from trips out, or kick off shoes after a busy day. Beyond the porch lies the light-filled dual aspect lounge, where neutral carpet underfoot pairs effortlessly with beige walls and a feature chimney breast wallpaper. The warming fireplace and the surrounding white mantelpiece serve as a natural focal point for slow Sunday mornings and cosy evenings. Freestanding furniture sits snugly in the alcoves, and there’s generous space for large family sofas, a bookcase or two, and even a writing desk. Light pours in from the front window, catching on the high skirting boards on summer days, while cast iron radiators complete the room for a warm and traditional finish.

Through a partially glazed door, and past the stairs to the first floor, lies the kitchen-dining room– a well-sized space that serves both function and charm. L-shaped cabinetry in soft white, with a gas hob and oven below, provides plenty of room for cooking and creativity, while the double window above the sink opens wide on both sides to welcome the outdoors in. There’s space for a six-seater dining table perfectly at home in the heart of the room, perfect for hosting friends, chatting over weekday suppers, or enjoying a long weekend brunch. Out & About Set along the ever-desirable Holcombe Road, this prime Greenmount location offers the perfect blend of countryside serenity and everyday convenience. With leafy surroundings, a strong sense of community and excellent local amenities, it’s no surprise this area remains one of the most sought-after in the region. Families are well catered for with top-rated schools including Greenmount Primary, Holly Mount RC Primary, and Woodhey High School all close by. Bury Grammar School and a choice of reputable nurseries are also within easy reach. For lovers of the outdoors, you're spoilt for choice. Explore the woodland trails of Redisher Woods, enjoy a Sunday stroll through Greenmount Golf Course, or hike up Holcombe Hill to take in breathtaking views across the West Pennine Moors. Sports enthusiasts can join the local golf, cricket, or tennis clubs, while children can make the most of the village’s adventure play park. Daily essentials are a breeze thanks to nearby shops, including a Co-op, chemist, butcher, and independent gift stores. For broader convenience, head to Holcombe Brook or Vernon Road precinct, just a short walk away. When it’s time to dine or unwind, enjoy a glass of wine at The Bower, a hearty Sunday roast at The Hare and Hounds, or explore the bars, bakeries and restaurants of nearby Ramsbottom—regularly ranked one of the North West’s top places to live. Commuters benefit from excellent transport links, with direct buses to Bury and Ramsbottom, Metrolink access into Manchester, and swift connections to the M66 for regional travel. Charming, connected and full of character—Holcombe Road is the perfect place to enjoy village life, with all the comfort and convenience of a well-connected community. Underfoot, classic white tiles add a clean finish, while the cream and soft green walls keep things bright and calm.

Continue through to the rear of the home, where the garden room offers an enchanting space. With bi-folding doors and magnetically controlled inset blinds, it seamlessly connects indoors with the courtyard, offering a snug retreat for reading, working, or unwinding with a glass of something chilled. It currently plays host to a sofa bed, a flexible touch that transforms it into a guest room with ease. Attached is a sleek downstairs WC featuring soft white paint, a neutral feature tile, a mirrored cabinet, a vanity with storage and a stylish, compact WC. There’s also a separate storage room, ideal for laundry or to be reimagined as a compact utility space.

Return to the hallway and ascend the carpeted staircase, with an open landing at the top and loft access tucked above, already boarded and with lighting and a ladder installed, it offers yet more storage or scope to explore. To the right, the principal bedroom makes a beautiful first impression. Dual aspect sash windows invite in the views, one framing Holcombe Hill, the other offering a perfectly aligned sightline to the historic Greenmount United Reformed Church, both framing the home in peace and heritage. Painted in a gentle blue with a subtle wallpapered feature wall, the space is dressed in traditional radiators, high skirting boards, and a decorative ceiling rose that brings elegance to the central light. There’s ample room for a king-sized bed, wardrobes, and side tables. It’s the kind of bedroom that calls for soft linen and a well-loved book on the nightstand.

Straight across the landing sits the bathroom, beautifully tiled in soft sandy hues with a gentle mosaic feature, creating a calm and inviting space. The vanity unit with drawers offers elegant storage beneath a deep basin, while the bathtub, complete with an attached shower head, awaits bubbles and bath soaks. The ornate door surround and folding door are perfectly in keeping with the home’s traditional leanings. Just next door is bedroom two, another classically styled space, with soft beige carpet, sunshine yellow walls, and a large sash window that overlooks the quiet street below. Ornate coving, a ceiling rose, and fitted wardrobes complete this warm, restful retreat.

Step through the garden room’s bi-folding door to the courtyard garden, a private and peaceful retreat, ideal for an evening drink or summer morning coffee. But there’s more… across the short walkway lies another garden space, adjacent to the garage fully equipped with power. A private patch of land, perfect for planting, pottering, or transforming into a home gym, studio, or even an office, nestled among the shrubs. It's a hidden treasure waiting to be shaped by new ideas.
