Longsight Road, Holcombe Brook Guide Price: Sold STC

Pull up onto the traditional cobbled driveway of this semi-detached home, where there is parking for three cars, and make your way to the Rockdoor front entrance. CCTV adds a comforting layer of additional security upon returning home, whilst secure gating to the rear is reassuring for those with pets and younger children.

Terracotta tiles coat the floor of the handy porch, where there is space to add coat hooks or an umbrella stand. A part-glazed internal door invites borrowed light through into the heart of the home, an open-plan dining room kitchen. A sociable space, ideal for modern living, the kitchen-dining room sits at the hub of the home, drawing residents together.

Tucked to the right, the solid oak kitchen cabinets and drawers provide ample storage, while the granite worktops offer plentiful preparation space. An induction hob surmounts an oven-grill with oven beneath. Grooved drainage sits beside the undermounted sink for a seamless look, benefitting from a Quooker instant boiling tap. Above, a window frames views out over the garden, separated from the worktops by earthy toned splashback tiles. Integrated appliances also include a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Storage is in abundance, with deep pan drawers and cupboards set within the central island. To one side of the fitted units, there is space for a large American-style fridge-freezer, alongside a tall wine rack; perfect for pouring the chef a well-deserved Friday night tipple as dinner is prepared. A sociable breakfast bar with seating for three invites conversation and merriment.

Flowing out from the kitchen, the dining room is carpeted underfoot with a toasty multi-fuel stove set within a fireplace. A blank canvas upon which to imprint your own personal style, this central room is ideal for all the family, with patio doors leading out to a paved area and garden beyond – perfect for the summer months.

Refresh and revive in the easily accessible wet-room on the ground floor with underfloor heating. Fitted with a drench shower and tiled in contemporary beach-vibe tones to the walls, there is also a heated towel rail, WC and vanity unit sink with mirror.

To the left of the main entrance, a large bay window floods the living room with light. Fitted cupboards and shelving sit within the alcoves either side of the chimney breast, currently housing a gas fire.

Take the carpeted stairs up to the first-floor landing, turning left into the second bedroom. Bright and light, with high ceilings, this front facing room overlooks the comings and goings of the neighbourhood ahead.

Opposite this bedroom discover the family bathroom, featuring a WC, wash basin and bath. Refreshing blue mosaic tiling surrounds the bath beneath turquoise toned walls. Light and bright, an opaque window draws in the daylight.

Continue along the landing, turning left into the master bedroom. Spaciously proportioned, an array of full-height fitted wardrobes offers ample storage for all your clothes. Further fitted furniture includes a dressing table, whilst views extend out over the rear garden.

Across from the master, discover the third bedroom, overlooking the front. Ideal as a nursery, the high ceilings of the room are beneficial for bunk beds.

Garden designs
Outside, this low maintenance, sunny garden offers plenty of space in which to relax and unwind in the evenings and on weekends. A neat thatch of lawn is set beside a paved patio area, perfect for a table and chairs for alfresco summer dining. Should you wish to extend this garden or perhaps create an area to grow your own, a raised pebble-dash garage to the rear could be removed to offer additional space for raised beds, an upper lawn or even an office pod.
