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

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

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.
