One of Walmersley's "most prominent homes" which has been standing for nearly 100 years is on the market,

Four-bedroom property Egerton House on Mather Road originally dates back from 1926 and occupies a secluded position around a mile away from Bury town centre in a plot extending to something approaching an acre.

Estate agents Pearson Ferrier understands the property was constructed as a mill owner's house "in line with the industrial heritage of the area".

The current owners have just completed a "total renovation programme" and the estate agents say they "are to be commended on their attention to detail and sheer high standard of workmanship throughout".

The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen renovation are all by Clive Christian.

"No expense has been spared" in retaining as much of the character of the Art Deco period and the property has all "conveniences and appeal for modern day living".

With remotely operated entrance gates, the home includes an inner hall, lounge, dining room, garden/sunroom, four bedrooms (master with ensuite) and a main bathroom.

The bathroom has a large bath tub, vanity unit wash hand basin all with solid oak joinery, granite tops and marble tiling. There is a separate shower area with glass screen and a "monsoon" shower.

Meanwhile, the ensuite has been described as "outstanding".

The property faces south west and the sunroom has been positioned to benefit from the afternoon and evening sunshine. There are floor to ceiling patio doors leading onto the patio and gardens.

Outside, there are gardens which a prominent landscape architect has designed, reclaimed York stone patio and two sheds, which are attached to the house.

All paths and the driveway are edged with granite setts and there is a newly constructed garage complex built entirely in keeping with the character of the house.

The first floor landing has an original stained window, chandelier and a coved ceiling, while the utility room has units and worktops to match the kitchen.

There are alarm and CCTV controls at the home as well.

The property is on sale on Zoopla for £1.2m.
