SEE THE VIDEO TOUR FOR THIS HOME

Set well back from the main road behind an expansive, sweeping block-paved driveway, Lynton is a truly individual semi-detached home offering generous living space, a distinctive layout, and far-reaching views both front and back. With excellent transport links nearby and countryside walks - including those around Elton Reservoir - just a short stroll away, this home effortlessly combines character, privacy, and potential.

From the moment you arrive, Lynton sets itself apart. The striking front veranda with bespoke balustrades and under-lighting offers a warm welcome and hints at the individuality and space that lie within. The large driveway provides parking for several vehicles, and there’s ample space to the side of the property for those considering future extensions - without compromising outdoor space or parking.

Step inside to a particularly spacious hallway where original coving, ceiling rose, and high ceilings create an inviting first impression. The ground floor has been cleverly arranged with the main living spaces positioned towards the outside of the home - giving the layout a detached feel and enhancing privacy and light. The bay-fronted lounge to the front features a contemporary gas fire, while to the rear, the dining room is centred around a log-burning stove, perfect for entertaining or relaxed evenings in.

The dining room flows effortlessly into the kitchen, creating a sociable, open-plan feel. Traditional in style but updated in all the right places, the kitchen features exceptionally well-crafted units that complement the home's period charm. A central island doubles as a breakfast bar – ideal for informal dining or morning coffee – while modern additions include updated radiators, a plinth heater, and lovely views over the garden. Practicality is well covered, with a freestanding fridge freezer, a built-in microwave, integrated dishwasher, and a freestanding cooker all included. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility room and a downstairs WC, adding everyday convenience to the space.

Step outside and you’ll find a generous patio and lawned garden with uninterrupted open views across farmland to the rear. Despite the road-facing position, the garden feels wonderfully peaceful - perfect for enjoying long summer evenings or quiet weekends. The outdoor space includes a detached garage and a separate workshop.

Beyond the main garden lies an exceptional bonus: an additional parcel of land accessed via a gate to the rear, currently held under an annual garden tenancy agreement with Wilton Estates at just £100 per year. The agreement is on a rolling yearly basis and requires six months’ notice to terminate. The current owners have enjoyed use of this space for all 18 years they’ve lived at Lynton, and it’s believed the previous owners did the same.

Already a brilliant garden in its own right, this extra area adds significant flexibility. It currently accommodates a metal shed and a fully powered log cabin—ideal as a home office, gym, or creative studio. A site plan is available on request.

Back inside, the first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of the doubles feature bespoke fitted wardrobes, while the third - currently used as a home office - makes a perfect single bedroom or nursery. The family bathroom has been recently updated with sleek fittings and tasteful décor.

A full staircase leads to the top floor, where a spacious loft room provides excellent additional space - ideal for hobbies, guests, or storage. While not currently certified for use as a bedroom, it offers great potential for conversion thanks to its size and natural light.

The block-paved driveway and rear patio - completed just four years ago - reflect the quality of work throughout the property. Every improvement has been carefully considered and carried out to a high standard.

Lovingly maintained, packed with character, and positioned to take advantage of open countryside and excellent commuter links, Lynton is a home that offers generous proportions, future flexibility, and a lifestyle that’s equal parts peaceful and practical - all within easy reach of Radcliffe, Bury, and Manchester.
