Description
From the moment you arrive, the first thing to note is the abundance of parking. There is one designated private space for the apartment, alongside ample visitor parking, making this home ideal for entertaining guests. The development is well-maintained with green spaces, mature shrubs and lawned areas, offering a calm, natural setting from the outside in.
The jewel in the crown? The rear-facing position of this apartment provides uninterrupted views across peaceful lawned gardens, a meandering brook, and the Tottington Lines - a former railway line turned walking trail and wildlife corridor. This unique view is not only beautiful but teeming with nature. The forestry opposite is home to birds, deer and even a local stag, often seen basking in the sunshine. A rare treat for nature lovers!
As you enter the building, a well-maintained staircase leads to each floor, with this apartment commanding the top position, offering maximum privacy and no neighbours above. Step into the entrance hallway - a practical space for coats and shoes - before entering the main apartment through the inner hallway that connects all the rooms. An intercom system provides secure access.
Thanks to its top-floor position and open rear aspect, the apartment is flooded with natural light throughout the day. Combined with recent redecorating and new carpets, the property feels fresh, modern, and welcoming from the moment you walk in.
The heart of the home is a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, perfect for modern lifestyles. The kitchen is finished in light oak laminate with wood-effect block worktops, offering plenty of surface space for cooking and entertaining. Integrated appliances include; Fridge-freezer, electric oven, gas hob with extractor, washing machine and dishwasher
A discreet cupboard houses the combi boiler fitted in 2024, ensuring energy efficiency and peace of mind.
From the kitchen, the space flows seamlessly into the lounge and dining area, with room for both relaxing and socialising. The Juliet balcony opens directly over the gardens and brook, and the sounds of water, rustling leaves, and birdsong create a truly idyllic backdrop. The current owner says:
"When the French doors are open and the sun is shining, there is nothing better than sitting with a book, listening to the peaceful soundscape - it's total bliss after a long day."
Primary Bedroom: Generously sized with fitted mirrored wardrobes, TV bracket and space for a wall-mounted television, and a private en suite (fitted in 2022) with WC, wash basin, and a thermostatic shower.
Bedroom Two: Another spacious double room - ideal for guests, a home office, or even a dressing room.
The main bathroom offers a full-size bath with hand wand, WC, and wash basin - perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.
Back in the hallway, there's a full-height storage cupboard, ideal for household items. And as a top-floor penthouse, the property enjoys something rarely found in apartments - loft access. This adds invaluable extra storage, while the higher ceilings enhance the feeling of space and airiness.
Tottington is one of Greater Manchester's hidden gems - a thriving village with a strong community feel, surrounded by countryside yet within easy reach of both Bury and Ramsbottom.
Tottington Lines - right on your doorstep for morning walks, runs, or relaxing weekend strolls
The Burrs Country Park - just a short drive away, ideal for riverside walks, cycling and family days out
Sports & Social - Excellent local sports clubs in Tottington, Greenmount and Holcombe Brook
Eateries & Cafés - Cosy pubs, bakeries, restaurants and takeaways within walking distance
Transport Links - Quick access to Bury (Metrolink into Manchester) and Ramsbottom (A56, M66)
