An eye-catching property has come on the market in Greater Manchester - and it's priced at a staggering £2,250,000. The grand family home spans four floors and boasts seven bedrooms, as well as having a huge landscaped garden to the rear.
The attractive house sits in a prime location in Ellesmere Park in Eccles, Salford - an affluent residential area with tree-lined roads set behind secure gates at the main entrances. Spanning around 110 acres, the neighbourhood has between 450 and 500 properties which include a large amount of Victorian detached and semi-detached homes with their own extensive grounds.
Amongst the many homes up for sale on Zoopla, what makes this house stand out is its unique blend of 'old meets new'. The original Victorian house still remains with its original features, but it has been extended with a new, modern architectural building.
