One of the most prestigious properties in Greater Manchester has just gone on the market, and it’s absolutely stunning.
Oh, and it also pays a bit of a resemblance to that big presidential gaff over in the US too.
Officially being listed as for sale last week on Valentine’s Day (14 February) with the Hale-based branch of estate agency chain, Jackson-Stops, for a Guide Price of a whopping £3.25 million, this impressive White House-style mansion occupies a prime position on North Road in the highly-regarded Trafford town of Hale.
Estate agents say the one-of-a-kind property is “bespoke” and has been “meticulously refurbished” in order to become the gem it is right now.
But, what exactly does the £3.25 million price tag get you then?

Well for starters, like we mentioned, it’s located in the heart of Hale – which is one of the most sought-after residential areas in Greater Manchester – and that means there’s an enviably-wide range of amenities, including local independent shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, all on the doorstep, as well as several well-regarded local schools, and some really convenient transport links across the region and beyond, within an easy reach too.
Not only is it in Hale, but estate agents claim it’s sat on one of the area’s “finest roads” too, so that already goes quite some way to explaining the listing price.
Set well-back from the road behind electric gates, and positioned within what are described as “large private grounds” that span approximately half an acre, the beautiful detached family home is immaculately-presented throughout, and right from the first glance of the pictures, it’s clear too see it has been lovingly-maintained by the current owners.
The property has several spacious reception rooms, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms to its name.

As well as boasting flexible and open-plan living accommodations that are light, spacious, modern, and tastefully decorated, there’s also some seriously stand-out features – including a grand reception hall, and a dining area overlooking gardens.
The living kitchen/diner is another one of the property’s highlights, and is referred to as the “focal point” of the home thanks to its space, top-of-the-range integrated appliances, and bi-fold doors leading to the rear garden.

All four bedrooms are suites, too – with the “generous” master bedroom boasting an en-suite bathroom and even a dressing room.
The outside grounds of the home are just as impressive as the inside too.
To the front, there’s a private driveway and a double garage that provides off-road parking for several vehicles, as well as a lawned garden area, while to the rear, the expansive space only continues wiht another large lawned garden, and a wrap-around stone flagged patio that’s perfect for entertaining all year round.

Oh, and to top it all off, this is also a Freehold house, which is always a massively-attractive feature for those looking to make changes to the property and grounds in the future.

If you ask us, we’d say viewing is an absolute must to appreciate all this house has to on offer.
So, if you like the looks of what you’ve seen, and you just so happen to have £3.25 million sitting pretty in your bank account ready to spend on a new home in Hale, then you can get in touch with Jackson-Stops now and register your interest.

Sneak peak inside swanky new homes ready to rent in an up-and-coming Greater Manchester town
Emily Sergeant
Dozens of swanky new homes are now available to rent in an up-and-coming Greater Manchester town.
A collection of exciting first look images have been released of the new homes.
The reboot of the former derelict market precinct in the suburban Bolton town of Farnworth is being spearheaded by Capital&Centric, and the social impact developers behind the project are now giving prospective renters a sneak peak into the developed.
Dubbed Farnworth Green, the new community consists of 97 rental homes, made up of a super energy-efficient range of townhouses and apartments.
The development will be comprised of a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom properties, with 85 stunning apartments and 12 family homes – all of which have been designed with the same high-quality features that are usually reserved for Capital&Centric‘s city centre spaces.
Designed for renters, the dozens of new homes come with even more living space, as well private gardens to be enjoyed when the sun makes an appearance, and potting sheds for all the green-fingered people out there.
Residents will also have access to the exclusive rooftop garden, gym, lounge, co-working spaces, and dog washing stations for their four-legged friends.
The two-bed apartments are packed with Scandi-designed HAY furniture and massive floor-to-ceiling windows to flood the rooms with light, while the the top-spec kitchens are kitted-out with all the mod-comms and latest appliances you would expect.
The new townhouses, on the other hand, will be the first to be delivered under the developer’s ‘Neighbourhood’ brand.

This includes Bolton’s first-ever operationally net zero homes, aiming to ‘slash’ energy bills for residents.
A raft of independent bars, eateries, and shops will also be taking shape on the ground floor of the community hub, giving locals and residents a place to meet up and enjoy seasonal outdoor events that will be planned once the neighbourhood is up and running.
Residents will also be able to spend time in a brand-new public square at the heart of the community, which will play host to artisan markets, art shows, and foodie pop-ups.

“We’re buzzing to see the new homes come to life at Farnworth Green,” commented Tom Wilmot, who is the joint Managing Director of Capital&Centric.
“Farnworth Green is all about creating new and exciting spaces for businesses and the community to spend time in, as well as delivering a pioneering new town centre living experience and giving disused retail areas a new lease of life.”
Capital&Centric is encouraging people to sign-up fast to secure a viewing for the remaining apartment here, or walk-ins will be welcomed too.

Manchester to get ANOTHER new city centre park as plans get green light
Emily Sergeant
You wait 100 years for a new city centre park, and then two come along one after the other.
That’s right, merely a few years after Mayfield Park finally opened to the Manchester public after more than a century without one, it’s now been revealed that another park is planned for the city centre, as the Government has given the green light to a major new ‘digital campus’ bringing 7,000 civil service jobs to the region.
The new state-of-the-art hub, which will be known as Manchester Digital Campus, will be constructed on the site of the former Central Retail Park in Ancoats, alongside the new park.
As mentioned, the campus will bring together a number of Civil Service departments, all with a focus around digital skills, and the Government claims it will create ‘significant employment opportunities’ and ‘economic benefits’ in the region.
Ultimately, Government ministers say these ambitious plans are set to boost Manchester’s digital and tech sector.

Alongside the new campus, however, is the perhaps even-more-exciting addition of a new urban park, which is aiming to improve access to quality green space for city centre residents and visitors, while also creating a connection to the existing Cotton Field Park behind and through to Ancoats and New Islington.
The park space has been designed in collaboration with landscape architects Planit-IE following public consultation.
According to Manchester City Council, a central lawn and plaza will create a ‘green buffer’ to Great Ancoats Street, with various tiered gardens navigating the different level changes across the site, alongside play areas, paths, and tranquil areas to escape the noise of the city.
The park has also been designed to make sure that it’s fully accessible for all.
A new digital campus by @UKGovPropAgency bringing 7,000 quality jobs to Manchester has been approved.
The campus will transform a derelict former retail site alongside a new city centre park in Ancoats.
The site will accommodate new walking and cycling routes, helping to link to other city centre active travel investment in Ancoats, Northern Quarter, and out towards the Etihad Campus.
“The new park is a welcome addition to our city centre green spaces,” commented Cllr Bev Craig, who is the leader of Manchester City Council.
“It’s a reimagining of the former retail site that has for many years acted only as a barrier to the community behind – and an eyesore in one of the most exciting parts of our city.”
