Detached house for sale in Westminster Road, Ellesmere Park, Monton, Manchester M30

Rowsley Manor is a truly breathtaking period home. It provides exceptionally well-proportioned and highly versatile living space that simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated. With its perfect balance of character, charm and contemporary styling, this beautiful property sits within a private gated plot of over half an acre on arguably Ellesmere Park's most prestigious road.

Recently fully renovated by the current owners, this distinctive four-storey Edwardian residence offers spacious and luxurious accommodation throughout. The impressive scale of the wow-factor interior is matched by the mature tree-lined outside space, where extensive secure parking dovetails perfectly with fabulous, landscaped grounds and outdoor entertainment areas.

With its size, setting and finer features, this landmark manor house would be the ideal choice for growing families wishing to find a forever home of their dreams. Rowsley Manor was once the epitome of age-old grandeur, and although it retains that pedigree to this day, it is also a warm and welcoming home.

Location

Ellesmere Park is a much sought-after prime residential area close to Monton, a highly popular village on the outskirts of Manchester. A firm favourite with homebuyers of all price ranges, this buzzing community boasts a host of local amenities including well-regarded schooling and a wide range of local shops and eateries. A major hospital and large retail outlets, including the Trafford Centre, are only a short distance away. With major transport links nearby, including tram and train networks and the M6, M60, M61 and M62 motorways, this is the ideal setting for easy commuting to Manchester city centre, Media City, Salford Quays, Bolton, Preston, Bury, Warrington and Liverpool.

Reception Rooms

Enter beneath an ornate terracotta portico and through double doors and you will step into a most impressive reception hall. Dominating the space is a very large stained-glass window, double-height ceiling and a spindled staircase that rises to the six first-floor bedrooms and beyond. The hallway leads off to a variety of reception spaces. These include the principal lounge, a stunning room with a feature fireplace and large walk-in bay window that not only floods the room with natural light but also offers a commanding outlook to the property’s greenery-filled frontage. An equally spacious sitting/dining room offers a more formal area for entertaining whilst a well-proportioned snug /family room provides a useful alternative area for relaxing.

Kitchen And Utility Rooms

The hub of the house is the large dining kitchen which offers more than enough room for cooking, dining and relaxation. Modern family living at its best, it has been designed to be practical yet aesthetically pleasing. It is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units and marbled white quartz work surfaces. These are complemented by integrated appliances, and, as one might expect from such a home, a room-warming four-oven Aga. This impressive space features original floorboards and has windows to rear aspects, offering views over the gardens. The kitchen also leads directly to two must-have rooms for any manor house – a generously-proportioned utility room and a dedicated, well-equipped pantry.

Master Suite

The large master suite comprises a serene and light-filled bedroom, an adjoining walk-in dressing room and a stylish en-suite bathroom - only recently completed and now with a large shower, bath, designer vanity unit and low-level wc.

Bedrooms

There are six further spacious double bedrooms, each having its own unique, style and character, many of which feature their own luxury en-suite facilities.

On the top floor there is a self-contained apartment with a lounge, bathroom, fitted kitchen and further bedroom options if required.

Self-Contained Annexe

The property has the added benefit of an additional large space on the ground floor. With its own entrance and multiple windows overlooking the garden, it has a generous open plan reception room (currently used as a large office), a kitchenette and a cloakroom/wc. Alongside this, another light-filled room could easily be converted into a large bedroom or gym. Although linked seamlessly to the main house, this splendid, highly flexible area could be used as a fully self-contained living unit.

The basement level offers exceptional storage space and excellent potential for further development if required (subject to relevant planning/building consent).

Gardens And Parking

One of the main features of this property is the stunning outside space. Zoned and landscaped to accommodate all tastes and interests, the well-maintained gardens include a large greenhouse, stone-flagged patios, and an extensive range of mature shrub and floral displays with raised herbaceous beds. There is also a mini orchard with apple, pear and plum trees. This is a reassuringly private area, not directly overlooked, and is therefore an ideal area for relaxing, children’s play and alfresco entertaining.

The property is accessed via a gated driveway which leads to an extremely large courtyard that offers off-road parking for numerous vehicles. What was originally a vaulted-ceiling coach house now acts as an oversized detached double garage/workshop. It provides yet more extensive secure parking and additional exterior storage space but could also offer splendid potential for further development if required (subject to relevant planning consent).
