This classically-proportioned, period property is beautifully presented and will appeal greatly to those who want period charm, as well as the benefits of excellent local schools nearby, including St Bede Primary and Westgate through school. The house exhibits many original character features, including super period fireplaces and attractive sash windows, but has also been extended and adapted to cope with the demands of modern family life, with an extended kitchen and loft conversion producing well-balanced accommodation. Underfloor heating has been installed in the sitting room, hall and bathrooms.

The entrance hall leads to most attractive sitting room at the front of the house, which has a handsome, period, open fireplace flanked by built-in cupboards and shelving. Lovely engineered wooden floors tie the sitting room through to the family/dining area beyond which also features shelving and cupboards. At the rear of the house, the original kitchen has been extended across the side return to create a superb, bright room with roof lights, ample contemporary units and integrated appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. Beyond the kitchen there is a breakfast room with plenty of room for dining table and chairs. Double doors open out to the rear garden.

On the first floor the main bedroom is a most elegant room across the front with large bay window, built in wardrobes and with contemporary en-suite shower room. There is another good bedroom on this level with built-in wardrobes, and also a large modern bathroom with bath and shower above. A very well-executed loft conversion produces an excellent bedroom on the second floor, with Velux windows, built-in wardrobes and access to eaves storage.

The rear garden has an attractive patio area and then well-stocked vegetable beds beyond. At the bottom of the garden there is a shed with power. Permit parking is available on the road.

Egbert Road is situated in the sought-after area of Hyde and is superbly positioned for easy access to the mainline railway station (links to London Waterloo in approximately 60 minutes), and City with its High Street shops, boutiques, library, coffee shops, public houses, restaurants, theatre, cinema, museums and, of course, the City's historic Cathedral. The house is situated in the catchment for good local schools, namely St Bede primary and Westgate all-through school. There is a local newsagent and two good pubs nearby, as well as beautiful River Park and the nature reserve.
