A lavish home has come up for sale in Greater Manchester that would be an Instagrammer’s dream. The beautiful five-bed property has been transformed from what was once an old 1920s home to a contemporary, picture-perfect abode.
Found in Ramsbottom, a sought-after market town nestled on the River Irwell in the West Pennine Moors, the detached house has been put on the market for £1,300,000 – a much higher cost than the average house price of £287,130 in the area.
Despite being transformed both inside and out from its former Victorian state, the gorgeous 3,000 square foot home combines traditional period features such as wall panelling, architectural mouldings and ceiling roses with modern design, high-end fixtures and fittings.

Named The Grange, the large family home sits on a huge plot framed by a long driveway and a front garden. Inside it is made up of a grand open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with two reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Upon entering the striking rendered property, you’ll head into the entrance porch leading to a spot-lit hallway with herringbone flooring. From here you’ll see the restored original 1920s half-landing staircase with rods and iron spindles.
To the right is a stylish formal lounge flooded with light by a bay window, with a chandelier at the centre. Across the hallway is an impressive cinema room with dark walls, ceilings and carpet to create a cosy atmosphere for movie nights and gaming.
The rest of the ground floor is made up by the stunning open-plan dining, kitchen and lounge area, where large windows and bi-fold doors overlook the rear landscaped garden. It features high-end integrated appliances, plenty of seating areas and a kitchen island at its centre.
Upstairs is a spacious landing which paves the way to all five double bedrooms, which each have calming neutral colour tones, panelling and plush carpets. The two en suite bedrooms are at the front, with hotel-spa-style shower rooms. To the rear are three more double bedrooms which overlook the garden through large windows. These bedrooms share a luxurious bathroom with a rainfall shower and a freestanding double-ended bathtub.
Estate agents Burton James say: “The Grange sits in a plot large enough for a turfed front lawn and a huge rear garden, linked with natural stone paving to the paths and an extensive terrace area by the enormous back doors. Enclosed by attractive fencing, it’s safe for children and pets and a fantastic setting for parties and barbeques.
“The planting scheme has been carefully considered and includes architectural feature trees and plants, from apple, pear and plum trees to Buxus hedging, Acer crimson, and Cordyline. You can even control the external lighting with a smart app, so you don’t have to move from your drinking spot to switch them on.”
Ramsbottom lies 3.9 miles northwest of Bury and 12 miles from Manchester. It boasts popular shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars, including an award-winning brewery, Victorian architecture and the East Lancashire Railway.
The surrounding rural landscape provides endless walks and days out, including Holcombe Hill – home to the historic Peel Monument and a great viewing point for stargazing or watching firework displays – and several parks and nature reserves on the doorstep.
Perfect for families, there are a variety of Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ schools nearby including St Andrew’s CE Primary, Woodhey Secondary in Holcombe Brook, and Rossendale Special School. There are also grammar schools in nearby Rossendale and Bury.
