Situated on Coronation Avenue in Gee Cross, a quiet cul-de-sac set back from Dowson Road, this striking two-bedroom home enjoys a peaceful setting with no through traffic, while remaining well placed for local amenities and transport links. The property blends period character with a thoughtfully updated contemporary finish. Exposed brickwork, timber detailing and a carefully chosen material palette add warmth and texture, creating a subtle edge that complements the home’s refined feel.
The front garden is finished with Yorkshire stone paving, creating an attractive, low-maintenance setting that catches the morning sunshine. With space for a small patio set, it offers a private and peaceful spot to sit out at the start of the day. An entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway, retaining original-style detailing including a glazed internal door and decorative dado rail, providing a clear separation between the entrance and the main living spaces.
To the front, the living room is positioned off the hallway behind a closing door, creating a sense of privacy and enclosure, set apart from the entrance. Anchored by a bay window that draws in natural light throughout the day, decorative panelling and a feature wall frame a contemporary inset gas fire with brushed steel trim, adding both warmth and atmosphere to this snug-like retreat.
The dining room sits to the rear, centred around a statement fireplace with a solid timber mantle and reclaimed brick chamber. Rich wall tones create a more intimate setting, ideal for hosting or everyday dining. Under-stairs storage has been integrated to maintain practicality without compromising the room’s flow. Positioned between the dining room and kitchen is a dedicated bar area, forming a natural entertaining zone that works effortlessly for gatherings.
Beyond, the extended Howdens kitchen has been designed to balance form and function. Wraparound cabinetry integrates the American-style fridge freezer seamlessly within the layout. Integrated appliances include an oven and microwave, a five-burner gas hob with glass and stainless canopy extractor, and a fully integrated dishwasher, offering excellent capacity for cooking and entertaining. A washer-dryer is positioned neatly beneath the counter at the end of the kitchen. Travertine stone flooring runs underfoot, complemented by generous worktop space, deep drawers and substantial cupboard storage. Well-positioned power outlets support everyday appliances. Double doors open onto a decked terrace set flush with the kitchen floor, creating a seamless transition between inside and out and extending the living space during warmer months.
Karndean flooring with an inlay border runs through much of the ground floor, reinforcing quality, durability and continuity.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both finished with coordinated premium wood-effect laminate flooring.
The principal bedroom spans the front of the house and features bespoke-style fitted cabinetry along the feature wall, incorporating integrated storage and a full-width window seat with cupboards beneath. A retained original fireplace adds architectural character and a sense of period grandeur.
The second bedroom overlooks the garden and includes fitted storage and contemporary detailing consistent with the rest of the home.
The bathroom adopts a bold contemporary aesthetic, combining vertical tiling, exposed brickwork and geometric flooring for a distinctive, design-led finish. A Duravit bath and Villeroy & Boch basin are complemented by antique brass fittings, a reeded glass shower panel and an antique brass heated towel radiator. A recessed vanity cabinet has been cleverly integrated into the wall, optimising use of space. The bathroom has been recently updated and remains in excellent condition, reflecting the overall standard of the property.
Externally, the rear garden is arranged across two levels, with the decked terrace seating area directly off the kitchen and a further lawned section beyond. A retractable striped awning extends over the decking above the double doors from the kitchen and bar area, allowing the space to be enjoyed comfortably throughout the seasons. Set on a solid Yorkshire stone paved base sits an 8 x 6 timber garden shed with power outlets and lighting already installed, making it a versatile addition to the outdoor space.
Coronation Avenue remains well positioned for access to local schools and amenities, with straightforward routes into Stockport and surrounding areas. Gower Hey Woods and Werneth Low Country Park are close by, offering open countryside within easy reach, while the setting itself enjoys the calm of a cul-de-sac used primarily by residents.
A genuine show-stopper in a peaceful Gee Cross cul-de-sac.
