The ground level floor is covered with 2m slabs (silver green slate), with barr markings representing history over thousands of years, mined from Kirkstone Quarry Windermere, and also enjoys underfloor heating throughout. This floor is completed by a modern WC.
Heading up the stairs, the Mezzanine area to the first floor enjoys the same flooring and is currently used as a fun karaoke area, however services have been installed in readiness for an additional bath/shower room too.
The first floor has three sizeable double bedrooms, with the main bedroom being an exceptionally designed primary open plan bathroom suite. There is Calacatta marble flooring to the primary bedrooms bathroom, with under floor heating too.

The basement level to the property offers a variety of potential uses such as a cinema/games/wine cellar etc., with an option to extend further if required a possibility, as planning permission had prior been granted (prospective parties are always advised to make their own enquiries with respect to planning permissions). There is a further utility area and single garage for off-road parking too.
Moving to the external part of the plot, the Victorian brick walled garden provides an ideal space for relaxation outdoors, with a mature Beech hedge around the perimeter. The rear garden is prevented from being overlooked, due to a neighbouring single storey property being Grade II listed, ensuring privacy!

In addition to the garage, Kingston Avenue is a private road with private on-street parking for 2/3 cars for residents and guests only. The home also boasts CCTV security and integrated Lutron controlled lighting system throughout.

I struggle to pick what I love most about this home as there are just so many wonderful aspects to it. It could be the unique blend of character and bespoke fittings, the balconies overlooking Fletcher Moss Park, or just simply the chance to own a fantastic family home in one of Manchester's most sought after locations.
