Further Information

Built circa 1890 by a wealthy cotton trader, this beautiful home, more formally known as The Manors, boasting spacious accommodation, superb views and an abundance of outdoor space. Its recent refurbishment has undergone copious amounts of work which have been completed to a great standard including, but not limited to: fitted CCTV and alarm systems, refurbished fireplaces in all rooms, and replacement shower in the middle bathroom. In the main bathroom the shower has been refurbished, the bath has been re enamelled and new taps have been fitted. Full decorated throughout, it has also seen a new boiler system in the cellar, new boiler fitting in the utility and refurbished radiators with newly fitted thermostatic valves. The internal doors have been re hung including new hinges, and the front door has been stripped, re-glazed and refitted with a new replaced sign. In the conservatory, the floor has been fully sanded and oiled. The electrical and gas work has all been certified, including certificates, and the windows were replaced with uPVC double glazing about 7 years ago (FENSA certificate supplied).
