A truly special home with an exceptional sense of history, character and space, set within one of Atherton's most historically significant locations.

If you have ever wanted to own a property with genuine character and a fascinating connection to Atherton's past, then Millbrook is a home that simply must be viewed. Occupying a particularly impressive position on Old Hall Mill Lane, within the historic setting of Atherton Old Hall, this substantial residence offers generous and versatile accommodation, extensive gardens and a wonderful sense of space rarely found in such a convenient location. A fascinating combination of history, setting and substantial accommodation which makes Millbrook such an individual property.

Entering through the entrance vestibule, you are immediately welcomed into a fantastic sized entrance hallway which provides an impressive introduction to the accommodation and gives access to the principal living spaces.

To the left is a superb formal dining room, second sitting room, a particularly bright and elegant space which benefits from numerous windows allowing natural light to flood into the room. This versatile reception room could equally lend itself to formal entertaining, family dining or simply providing a second principal living space.

A further hallway leads through to the main sitting room, providing a comfortable and welcoming principal reception room, whilst the adjoining conservatory provides another wonderful space in which to sit and enjoy views across both the side and rear gardens.

The accommodation continues with an impressive kitchen and dining area, creating a practical and sociable heart to the home and providing ample space for family living and entertaining. A good sized office completes the ground floor and offers an ideal environment for home working, study or simply a quiet additional reception space.

One of the particularly interesting features of the property is the provision of two separate staircases leading to the first floor, allowing the accommodation to be accessed from different parts of the house and adding further character and flexibility to the layout.

The first floor provides an excellent amount of bedroom accommodation, comprising three particularly generous double bedrooms, with the master bedroom enjoying the additional benefit of a formal balcony overlooking the street. There is also a fourth bedroom, making this an ideal home for a growing family, those requiring guest accommodation or anyone looking for additional flexible space.

The first floor is completed by a separate shower room, WC and formal family bathroom, ensuring that the property is well equipped for modern family life. A large loft/attic space gives an ideal storage space for families.

Outside is where Millbrook really begins to set itself apart.

The property occupies an impressive plot, with a substantial side area providing a private driveway and double garage, whilst to the rear is a truly outstanding garden which offers an exceptional amount of space. A generous patio provides an ideal area for outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which lies a huge laid-to-lawn garden, offering an enviable expanse of outdoor space for children, families, gardening enthusiasts or simply those who appreciate having a large private garden.

The combination of the generous accommodation, fascinating historical setting, extensive gardens and individual character makes Millbrook a property that is extremely difficult to compare with the typical homes available in the local market.

Properties of this nature and in such a historically important setting rarely become available. Early viewing is therefore considered essential to fully appreciate the accommodation, gardens, setting and unique character that Millbrook has to offer.
