About this home
Occupying an elevated position with breathtaking views across open farmland and towards Brabyns Park, this impressive four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached residence offers an exceptional blend of character, charm and versatile family living arranged over four spacious floors. Affectionately known locally as "The Flag House" due to the various flags flown from the property over the years, this iconic home is a recognised landmark within the sought-after village of Marple Bridge.
Steeped in period elegance, the accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch featuring the original tiled floor, setting the tone for the wealth of character found throughout. The inviting entrance hallway leads to two beautifully presented reception rooms. To the front, the elegant living room is enhanced by a striking bay window, open fireplace and an array of original period features. To the rear, the second reception room enjoys a charming period fireplace with gas fire and magnificent views across the surrounding countryside and Brabyns Park.
The heart of the home can be found on the lower ground floor, where an impressive kitchen diner provides the perfect space for both everyday family life and entertaining. Finished with a range of quality units and integrated Neff appliances. A convenient downstairs WC is also located on this level. The kitchen enjoys direct access to the south-west facing rear garden, ideal for making the most of sunny afternoons and evenings. Beyond the kitchen is a highly practical cellar area offering a utility space, pantry, workshop and extensive additional storage.
To the first floor are two generously proportioned bedrooms. The rear bedroom benefits from the same spectacular far-reaching views, whilst the front bedroom retains an original feature fireplace. A stylish family shower room serves this floor.
The second floor hosts two further well-proportioned bedrooms, with one bedroom benefiting from a built-in wardrobe and additional storage cupboard, perfect for keeping luggage and household items neatly tucked away. This floor offers versatile accommodation, ideal for growing families, visiting guests or home office space.
Externally, the south-west facing rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged with lawned and seating areas, perfectly positioned to capture both the sunshine and the outstanding views. To the front, the property benefits from valuable off-road parking.
Situated in the heart of Marple Bridge, one of Greater Manchester's most desirable villages, the property is within easy reach of highly regarded schools, independent cafés, delis, restaurants and local shops. Excellent transport links and nearby rail connections provide convenient access into Manchester City Centre, making this a superb choice for commuters and families alike.
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive Victorian home of character and local significance, enjoying stunning views, extensive accommodation and a prime Marple Bridge location.
