£1.3m home in ‘star’ village
CERTAIN areas of Greater Manchester are like magnets to the rich and famous thanks to their impressive multi millionpound homes.
One prestigious village in Stockport is kitted out with some of the region’s largest and most expensive homes, therefore it doesn’t come as a surprise that it has attracted some renowned residents.
With an average house price of £594,341, the suburban village of Woodford has been home to legendary Manchester United footballers George Best and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Amongst its stand-out 17th century cottages and Grade II* listed buildings is Ronaldo’s former mansion, where he lived during his earlier days playing for United.
Formerly part of Cheshire, Woodford is the most southerly point of Greater Manchester and consists of a ribbon of stunning properties along the A5102 road, surrounded by countryside.
Amongst the beautiful homes that are currently up for sale in the affluent area is an ultra-modern eco home, with a guide price of £1,300,000. Located on Chester Road, the four-bed property has been built with a bespoke contemporary style and designed to be environmentally low impact.
The eye-catching home features a brick facade with Siberian Larch cladding and cast stone detailing on the outside, and is just as attractive on the inside.
A front door opens to reveal an impressive entrance hall with a bespoke oak and glass staircase. A hallway then leads into a spacious lounge with a second door providing access to a ground floor en-suite bedroom, which is being used by its current owners as a home office.
On the other side of the hallway is the main hub of the home, a stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining area.
French doors from the kitchen then open out onto a large decking area and the generously-sized landscaped garden which surrounds the home.
Upstairs on the first floor the landing has an impressive glass roof light and paves the way to the remaining three bedrooms.
The main bedroom suite is the largest of all which comes with a luxurious en-suite bathroom, dressing room and a large south-facing terrace.
There are two further double bedrooms, both with access to the terrace, and both with their own stylish en-suites.
To make it eco friendly, the home boasts tripleglazed windows and a powerful air source heat pump system. Roof mounted solar cells also generate electricity.
