Combining countryside elegance, outstanding local amenities and effortless connections, Walmersley Road offers a lifestyle rarely found — a place where family life, entertaining and peaceful escapes all come together in one of the area’s most desirable settings. Walmersley Road is a home that slowly unfolds, revealing something new around every corner.

From the moment the front door opens, it feels like stepping into the opening pages of a story. The gallery-style hallway stretches beneath high ceilings and exposed beams, while rich Karndean flooring guides the way through the home. Above the front door, a feature window pours daylight into the space, dancing across neutral walls and creating an ever-changing stream of light as the hours pass.

A generous cloak cupboard sits discreetly to one side, providing an abundance of space for coats, boots and outdoor essentials, ensuring the home's calm aesthetic remains beautifully uninterrupted.

Opposite, the downstairs cloakroom introduces the level of finish found throughout the property. Crisp white tiling is paired with striking black accents underfoot, and the contrasting black basin creates a sophisticated contemporary feel, creating a luxurious and convenient space for daily life.

The cinema room opens effortlessly from the hallway.  Natural light floods through the elegant square bay window, framing views of the surrounding greenery while regal wallpaper adds richness and character to the generous space. Whether transformed into a private cinema, games room, music lounge, or sophisticated entertaining space, this room is ready to evolve with every stage of family life.

Next door, another beautifully sized room provides equal flexibility. Currently arranged as a study and gym, its generous space and large window create the perfect environment for working from home, pursuing creative hobbies, or building a peaceful library where quiet afternoons disappear amongst favourite books.

Across the hallway, the lounge offers a wonderfully different atmosphere.

Soft grey carpets introduce warmth underfoot, while rich blue tones create depth around the handsome wood-burning stove. Framed by an impressive oak mantel, the fireplace naturally becomes the heart of the room, encouraging winter evenings gathered around glowing flames while rain falls softly beyond the glass.

Patio doors invite the garden inside during warmer months, while glazed double doors connect seamlessly to the open-plan living spaces beyond, allowing the entire ground floor to flow beautifully when entertaining family and friends.

It is the sort of room that feels equally suited to lively Christmas mornings or peaceful Sunday afternoons when the only soundtrack is crackling logs and birdsong drifting in from the garden.

The hallway gently draws visitors towards the true centrepiece of the home.

Here, the living spaces expand dramatically beneath soaring ceilings into an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area where light seems to arrive from every direction.

Gloss white flooring reflects the daylight streaming through large garden doors, while generous dining and seating areas allow family life to unfold naturally around the changing rhythm of the day.

Beyond, the kitchen itself has been created by Kitchen Design Centre, combining timeless design with exceptional practicality.

A full wall of integrated appliances includes twin warming drawers, an oven, microwave, a grill, and a full-height refrigerator and freezer, allowing everything needed for everyday family life or large-scale entertaining to remain effortlessly organised.

Corian worktops sweep elegantly around the room, providing abundant preparation space, while subtle feature lighting illuminates the dark timber splashback to create warmth and atmosphere after sunset.

At the centre sits an impressive island, complete with an induction hob, generous storage, and informal seating where conversations can continue long into the evening.

Above, twin roof lanterns flood the kitchen with natural light, while carefully positioned pendant lighting creates intimacy as evening arrives.

Perhaps the most captivating feature, however, is the picture window that frames uninterrupted views across the garden towards rolling countryside, distant hills and ever-changing skies beyond. Every meal prepared here comes accompanied by a landscape that quietly changes with the seasons.

Flowing naturally from the kitchen, the utility room provides everything needed to support busy family life without intruding upon the main living spaces.

Extensive pantry storage, generous work surfaces, and dedicated laundry areas ensure daily tasks remain neatly tucked away, while internal access leads directly into the substantial double garage.

With its electric door and exceptional proportions, the garage offers far more than secure parking. It presents endless possibilities as a workshop, home gym, hobby studio, or additional storage for growing families and adventurous lifestyles.

Ascending the staircase feels every bit as impressive as the entrance itself.

Soft grey carpets, warm oak detailing and glass balustrades allow natural light to cascade throughout the gallery landing, while dramatic glazing stretches upwards towards exposed timber beams overhead.

Standing upon the landing, the entire entrance hall opens below, creating an extraordinary feeling of space.

The first bedroom enjoys an abundance of natural light through twin Velux windows, while fitted wardrobes provide extensive storage without compromising the generous space. The adjoining en-suite features striking charcoal tiling accented with subtle bronze tones, a spacious walk-in shower and elegant Villeroy & Boch fittings, creating a private retreat for family or guests.

Across the landing, another spacious double bedroom enjoys fitted furniture thoughtfully designed around the room, leaving ample space for study areas, reading corners, or quiet relaxation. Its accompanying en-suite continues the same exceptional finish, pairing soft sandy tones with timeless contemporary styling.

Beyond, another generous bedroom enjoys sweeping views across Winter Hill and the surrounding countryside. Whether used as a peaceful bedroom, elegant home office or creative studio, it remains beautifully connected to the remarkable landscape beyond every window.

Nearby, the family bathroom elevates everyday routines into something altogether more indulgent.

Large tiles, underfloor heating and luxurious fittings create a space reminiscent of a boutique spa. A deep bath invites long evenings of relaxation, while illuminated shelving and carefully layered lighting provide both atmosphere and practicality.

The principal suite occupies its own peaceful corner of the first floor, offering an atmosphere that feels wonderfully secluded from the rest of the home.

There is ample space for a super king bed alongside seating areas that invite slower mornings and quieter evenings. The bespoke walk-in wardrobe has been thoughtfully arranged with fitted storage, dedicated dressing areas, and beautifully organised compartments, ensuring everything has its place.

Beyond, the room opens beneath a vaulted ceiling towards an elegant seating area where patio doors lead onto a private balcony.

Finished with composite decking and framed by sleek glass balustrades, this elevated retreat enjoys uninterrupted views across fields, woodland and distant hills. The peace allows morning coffees to slow down, and sunsets to linger just a little longer.

The luxurious en-suite continues the boutique feel, with floating vanity units, illuminated mirrors, contemporary tiling and an expansive walk-in shower creating a space where every day begins and ends in complete comfort.

A further staircase rises to the second floor, where natural light streams through a Velux window above before revealing an exceptional guest suite.

The room offers ample space for both sleeping and seating areas, while the countryside unfolds beyond the window like a living landscape painting.

Its private en-suite continues the impeccable standard found throughout the home, with natural tones and a peaceful atmosphere.

While extensive storage concealed within the eaves presents exciting possibilities. Seasonal storage comes naturally here, although equally, this hidden space could evolve into a dressing room, music studio, hobby room, or private reading retreat.

It is a floor that offers independence without separation, making it ideal for guests, older children or multi-generational families.

Outside, the rear garden feels wonderfully connected to the countryside that surrounds it.

Patio doors from both the lounge and the open-plan living area spill naturally onto a generous patio, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, summer celebrations, or evenings gathered around a fire pit beneath open skies.

Beyond, broad lawns stretch towards mature trees and neighbouring fields, allowing the landscape to feel almost limitless. As the seasons change, the distant hills provide an ever-changing backdrop of colour, light and texture, while towns and villages shimmer softly on the horizon beyond.
