Description

SmoothSale is delighted to present this remarkable detached home, quietly positioned just off Aberford Road in Stanley. Set within approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped and lawned grounds, this expansive residence spans three floors and offers around 5000 sq ft of flexible living accommodation—ideal for large families, multigenerational living or those seeking generous space both inside and out.

The ground floor hosts a welcoming hallway leading to several reception areas, including formal sitting and dining spaces, a bright conservatory opening onto the garden, and additional rooms perfect for leisure, work, or guest use. A well-equipped kitchen and separate utility room provide excellent practicality, while the layout also includes ground-floor bedrooms and washrooms, enhancing the versatility of the home.

Across the upper floors, you'll find a collection of sizeable double bedrooms, many benefiting from their own en-suite facilities. The top floor features a particularly impressive suite with its own lounge area and private balcony, enjoying elevated views over the surrounding countryside.

Externally, the property truly excels. A long private driveway leads to expansive parking, an integral double garage, plus two further substantial detached garages. Extensive lawns, mature boundaries and outbuildings surround the home, offering privacy, open outlooks and endless potential for outdoor recreation.

Well placed for excellent schools, rail links and motorway access, this exceptional property combines space, privacy and convenience in a highly sought-after setting. A rare opportunity not to be missed.

You can secure this property with an optional reservation deposit of £2,500. This forms part of the property's total purchase price and is not an additional fee. The deposit draws up a legally binding exclusivity agreement which gives exclusive rights to purchase the property within an agreed timeframe.

The reservation deposit guarantees that the seller will remove their property from the market as soon as the offer is accepted and the deposit is paid. This means that the property is reserved for you, giving you time to complete the sale without the risk of being gazumped.

The fixed exclusivity period (typically 8-10 weeks) allows you to prepare financing, surveys and property searches with the confidence that you aren't wasting money on a sale that may fall through.
