Remarkable home combining luxurious, contemporary interiors with a picturesque & tranquil setting.
Occupying a choice plot at the higher end of Herons Wharf with south facing gardens and stunning far reaching views over the Leeds-Liverpool canal and Ashurst Beacon - this exceptional home has been beautifully extended and upgraded to maximise its remarkable setting, featuring a contemporary open-plan kitchen and a stylish first-floor balcony.
Spanning nearly 2,000 square feet of high-quality living space, this superb family home is arranged over two floors and is a true credit to its current owners.
The accommodation briefly comprises: a welcoming entrance hallway with cloaks/WC and a versatile study/home office. Positioned at the front, the elegant main lounge boasts a feature fireplace and dual-aspect windows, while to the rear, the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. This impressive space has been enhanced by a sleek extension with vaulted ceilings, skylight windows, and bifold doors that seamlessly connect the interior with the landscaped rear garden.
The kitchen itself features a central island with breakfast bar, an extensive range of bespoke units, Granite worktops, integrated appliances, spot lighting, and Porcelain tiled flooring. A separate utility room adds further practicality to the ground floor.
To the first floor, there are four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a beautifully decorated master suite complete with a modern en-suite shower room. The main family bathroom is finished to an equally high standard. A unique feature of this home is the third bedroom, which has been cleverly reimagined as a peaceful lounge/reading room with French doors opening out to a newly constructed glass and steel balcony—the perfect spot to take in the stunning panoramic views.
Externally, the property continues to impress with meticulously landscaped gardens to both front and rear. The south-facing rear garden features a quality Indian Stone patio, decked seating area, well-stocked borders, and a neatly maintained lawn. A double driveway to the side provides ample off-road parking and access to a detached double garage.
This remarkable home combines luxurious, contemporary interiors with a picturesque and tranquil canal-side setting—offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for discerning buyers.
