3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Greggs Avenue, Chapel-En-Le-Frith, High Peak SK23

Vendor comment:

"i've loved how easy this home is to live in. The kitchen and dining space is where everyone ends up, particularly in summer when the bi-folds are open and the kids and dogs are in and out of the garden. The neighbours are lovely, the views towards Castle Naze still catch attention, and having everything needed within walking distance is something i'm glad not to miss - i'm actually staying in Chapel because I couldn't imagine giving up the lifestyle here."

local area:

Chapel-en-le-Frith gives you much of what people move to the High Peak looking for, without making everyday life difficult. From Greggs Avenue, Chapel-en-le-Frith High School is within walking distance, the Co-op is close enough for those forgotten essentials and open countryside is never far away, with dog walks around Combs Reservoir making an easy part of the weekly routine. The town centre brings plenty of independent character too, whether that's dinner at Coco's or trying the recently opened Bukharaa Indian restaurant, while excellent road and rail connections make Manchester, Stockport, Macclesfield and Buxton accessible for those moving out from the city. The current owner perhaps gives the best endorsement of the area themselves: They're moving home, but they aren't leaving Chapel.

Agent's description:

The familiar proportions of a 1970s semi have been completely changed at Greggs Avenue. A substantial side extension and extensive programme of improvements have created a three-bedroom family home with over 900 sq ft of accommodation and, most importantly, considerably more living space downstairs than its exterior initially suggests. Rewiring, replacement windows, a recently replaced boiler, contemporary bathroom and modern kitchen mean the expensive work has already been taken care of. With an EPC C (76) and nothing waiting on a new owner after moving day, this is a genuine turnkey home.

The kitchen and dining space is where the transformation brought with the extension here really comes into its own. Designed as somewhere to cook, eat and spend time together, natural light arrives through Velux windows overhead while wide bifold doors open almost the entire rear of the room onto the garden. Summer barbecues can move easily between the dining table and patio, children can disappear outside while dinner is being made, and muddy dogs don't have to travel far before reaching the adjoining utility room. A separate utility and downstairs WC also keep the everyday practicalities away from your main living space.

The lounge remains a generous room in its own right, giving the family somewhere separate to settle down while still sitting conveniently alongside the kitchen and dining space. There’s room to spread out, whether it’s children playing while dinner is being prepared, friends gathering for an evening or simply everyone finding their own corner on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a home that’s been shaped around family life rather than simply given a larger kitchen.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a newly fitted family bathroom, all presented in the same move-in-ready condition as downstairs. The larger bedrooms give parents and children comfortable space of their own, while the third - single bedroom works equally naturally as a child's room, nursery or home office. From the rear, the outlook towards Castle Naze brings the surrounding High Peak landscape into everyday life and gives the home a sense of openness that its position within the town might not lead you to expect.

The rear garden makes particularly good use of its end-of-street position. South-west facing and flat, there's lawn for children and dogs, raised beds for anyone wanting to grow a little of their own and a generous paved seating area for barbecues and long summer evenings. The bifold doors make the patio feel closely connected to the kitchen and dining space, while the views over the neighbouring cul-de-sac towards Castle Naze provide the backdrop beyond. To the front, off-road parking comfortably accommodates two cars.

The owner already has an onward purchase progressing, while the previous buyer's searches and survey may be available for a new purchaser to acquire, potentially removing weeks from the usual conveyancing process. Combined with a beautifully finished family home where the renovation, extension and hard work have already been done, this creates a genuine opportunity to get moving sooner rather than later into the dream turnkey home.
