5 Bed Semi-Detached House For Sale Thurlestone Drive, Stockport, SK7

Situated within the Bramhall Lane South Conservation Area, this stunning Edwardian period family home dates back to 1913. Originally designed in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, the interior has been sensitively remodelled by its architect owner to reflect contemporary open plan living whilst retaining the charming features that only a property of this age can offer. This is a truly unique home with five bedrooms, two reception rooms, unconverted basement and a beautiful West-facing rear garden.

Set back from the tree-lined street, behind a generous paved driveway, is this substantial Edwardian semi-detached property.
