A BESPOKE home in Swinton, blending local history and modern conveniences, will be open for viewing this weekend and next (October 25/26 and November 1/2).

Elan Homes has redeveloped land previously home to Birchfield House, a “micro-estate”, created in the second half of the 19th century. While the main house was demolished to make way for 18 new homes, all of which have now been sold and are occupied, the gatehouses have been converted into two characterful properties. One of these has been sold, while the other, known as the Coach House is available to purchase.

 

The double-fronted home, part of the Birchfield Court development on Worsley Road, is ready to move into, with a host of upgrades included. To showcase this one-of-a-kind property, Elan is hosting an open house event.

 

Elan regional sales and marketing director Marie Morris explained: “Throughout the redevelopment of the Birchfield House site we’ve had lots of people asking about the former gatehouses and how we were giving them a new lease of life. There remains a great deal of curiosity about what lies behind the traditional façade and simply viewing the floor plans isn’t enough. We’re extending an open invitation to anyone who’s looking for a two-bedroom home in Swinton and the surrounding area to come and view the Coach House during our two open house events.

 

“We’ve worked with the footprint of the building to create a home that blends traditional charm and character with the practicalities of modern living. It’s a home well suited to a range of purchasers from first time buyers, those starting over after a change of circumstances, downsizers or investors. There are three universities within 20 minutes’ drive so it could even be an option for parents investing in their child’s future.”

 

At ground level, there’s a combined kitchen and dining room to one side of the property, with a lounge on the opposite side of the hallway. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

 

The Coach House also benefits from a private landscaped walled rear garden and two off-road parking space.

 

Priced from £209,995, the Coach House includes flooring throughout, window dressings and light fittings.

 

It’s highly energy efficient with modern UPVC window frames with double glazing, plus a new heating system including boiler and radiators.


The stylish kitchen is well-equipped and includes essential appliances such as oven, hob, fridge freezer and washing machine.

 

Situated less than a mile from Swinton station, Manchester is easily accessible, making the Coach House at Birchfield Court an alternative to living in the city centre.

 

The East Lancashire Road (A580) is also nearby, providing quick access to the motorway network to both Manchester and Liverpool by car.

 

The open house event at Birchfield Court takes place this weekend (October 25/26) and next (November 1/2). For more information see https://www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/birchfield-court
