HOUSE FOR SALE
Walmersley, Bury, Lancashire

Bassfield South

is one-half of a house believed to have been built in the 1890s by one of the area's most prominent mill-owning families. It has high-ceilinged rooms, typical of such a house, and a large garden.

Inside, the lounge (22ft x 16ft), dining room (26ft x 16ft), and hallway are well decorated and furnished: the lounge has wood panelling to waist level and a large chandelier. The two-stage staircase has a landing at half-way and open bannisters. There are also four bedrooms, cellars and a sauna/shower room, not forgetting the spacious kitchen.

The large garden is generally secluded and includes a 100ft lawn, a small orchard, a well, paved pathways and circular Victorian summer house. There is also a swimming pool.

The house is situated on the northern edge of the Manchester conurbation and is easy to reach by car or public transport. Miles of spectacular countryside, both moorland and river valley, as well as a tourist steam railway, are all within walking distance.
