The area : Described by the current owners as an ‘oasis’, Ringstone Close really doesn’t feel as though it is situated only 3 miles from one of the UKs major cities due to the peace and quiet that surrounds this ideal family home and Barratt Housing estate (known locally as Prestwich Hills estate) in which it resides. The estate itself was built on an old reservoir in the 1980s, with one access road, making the estate a secure housing development. Being a resident in Prestwich means you have excellent network connections via the M60, as well as access to the Metrolink at either Heaton Park or Prestwich town centre. Prestwich centre has become a hive of activity due to its lively restaurant scene, shopping facilities, choice of parks and other community event offerings.
Easy access to the local haven Heaton Park allows for many activities such as Party In The Park or Park Run each Saturday morning. It provides an additional option for golfers, alternatively you can also visit Prestwich golf course (only 5 minutes away from the house). Equally, the area also provides runners or walkers with exercise in Prestwich Clough (only 5 minutes away from Ringstone Close) this leads onto Phillips Park or Clifton Country Park.
Ground Floor

Living room : The larger than average sized living room includes remote digital light switches for dimmer spot lights and feature light, creating various ambiences for different occasions. The living rooms also has open access to the stairwell.
Kitchen : The bright and airy kitchen extension design has been well thought through for family life. It has space for a larder fridge, chest freezer, washer, dryer and dish washer, with ample cupboard space for storage. The spacious worktops also provide plenty of room to house additional appliances or share cooking responsibilities. The kitchen also has underfloor heating for the Northern winter months. The large windows installed really do make the house feel bright. The kitchen also contains a combi boiler installed in 2018 and still under warranty.
Dining/Second Reception Room : The dining room is a really well presented extension (includes planning permission documentation) which looks as though it was always part of the original build. The dining room holds an 8-seater table and couch, an ideal size for entertaining. The room leads onto the patio and garden, accessible via double patio doors, which when open, brings the outdoors, inside.
First floor
Main Bedroom: The Main bedroom is a good size, it is situated at the front of the house and has space for a king sized bed and free standing furniture.
Bedroom 2 : This is a double bedroom which overlooks the back garden. It also has space for free standing furniture.
Bedroom 3 : The third bedroom is a single room which includes fitted wardrobes and is situated at the front of the house. There is also an airing cupboard within this room ideal for additional storage purposes.
Bathroom : This wet room includes 3 different tile textures for design contrasts which really is reminiscent of a spa. It includes a shower, toilet and basin, and has underfloor heating which is really useful on a cold winter’s morning.
Loft access : The loft has been adapted for storage use, therefore it can be accessed via a pull down ladder, a light switch is reachable upon entry. Additional loft space is also accessible via the dining room.
External : Situated on a cul-de-sac, it’s a perfect place for a family. With little through traffic and gardens to the front and back there is plenty of space for your pets or children to play securely. Or you can wind down in the peaceful sanctuary of the South facing back garden, which also includes a shed, perfect for storing gardening equipment. In addition, an electric point was installed on the side of the building for ease of plugging in either a lawnmower or heater for an outdoor swimming pool. The driveway can currently hold 2-3 cars and if the driveway is extended onto the front lawn it could quite easily hold 4-5 cars, something which can be extremely rare in this price range. A number of electric plug-in points for cars could also be added.
Additional information : All windows are double glazed and the property includes an alarm. Drawings provided on request and are subject to planning permission but will enable buyers to seek a building quote before putting in any planning applications; perfect for a multi-generational household. The house does not have any smart meters.
Final word from the current owner.
We have lived here for over a decade and never had any issues. As such we have really enjoyed our time on this exclusive estate, mostly because the house is in a peaceful and perfect position. We can honestly add that we are selling with some reluctance, as we had every intention to continue to extend. Sadly, circumstances prevail. However, our loss will be your gain as it really is in an excellent location and offers either professionals, young families or empty nesters everything you need to make this your forever home. If you book a viewing we are sure you will agree. Best wishes.
