The £1.2m house which you wouldn't believe is in Greater Manchester

A unique home has just been added to the market which you would struggle to believe is in Greater Manchester. This villa-style home looks like it should be up for sale in sunny Spain, but it is in fact in a 'sought-after' part of Salford.

The six-bed house has been put on the market for the first time in more than 45 years, with the owners accepting offers over £1,250,000. The detached property sits on Waterpark Road in Broughton Park, where properties have sold for an average price of £232,111 over the last year.

Estate agents Butler Ridge say it is an 'extremely rare opportunity' to buy this 'much-loved' family home, with grounds that span approximately 0.2 acres. It is hidden from the road within its own 'private sanctuary' with a six foot-high wall, electric gates and a pond with a bridge leading to the front door.

Decorated throughout with a neutral interior, the home boasts three reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Once you step inside, there is a grand reception hallway with tiled flooring, intricate gold details and a stunning staircase which sets the scene for the home.

On the ground floor there is a formal sitting room with a full height window looking out to the rear garden. This room connects to an additional sitting area, currently used as a games room, with double doors leading out to the garden. There is also a second reception room at the front of the property.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area is a standout feature, with enough space to comfortably seat 20 guests. The kitchen has a sliding door with access to the garden, whilst opposite the kitchen is a utility room and an additional room with plumbing for a second kitchen, as well as a downstairs toilet.

Up on the first floor, a spacious landing leads to six double bedrooms, three of which have their own ensuite bathrooms. There is also a large family bathroom on this level.

Additional features of the home include a detached double garage with an electric door and off street parking for several cars, a decked seating area in the garden, a well manicured lawn and mature trees that surround the home.

The Broughton Park area is a suburb in Salford lying south of Prestwich. It is home to Albert Park, which offers a multi-use games area, bowling green, all-weather sports pitch, and children's play area.
