Apartment 6, Heaton Grove, BL9 9QS

Built around 1840 and later reimagined into luxury residences, the building retains its classical charm, framed by manicured gardens and the distinctive silhouette of a centuries-old monkey puzzle tree at the front.

Apartment 6 occupies a prime position at the very top of the house, where two former apartments have been united to create one expansive and beautifully balanced home.

With high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and generous proportions throughout, this is a space that speaks to both heritage and comfort.

Enter through a gated driveway, where mature trees border the landscaped lawns.

Two private parking spaces sit just beyond, with the communal entrance accessed through a period doorway that opens into a light, sweeping staircase lined with white wooden spindles.

At the top, a private porch welcomes visitors into the apartment.

Inside, a cloak cupboard to the right keeps everyday essentials neatly tucked away, and the hallway stretches ahead in a graceful curve, guiding the way through each room.

Every detail hints at the home’s heritage, from the tall sash windows to the soft tones and subtle decorative finishes that make the space feel calm and elegant.

At the centre of the apartment sits the kitchen; a bright, sociable space designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

Created by Siematic and installed by Stuart Frazer, it features elegant quartz worktops, a NEFF five-burner induction hob with a concealed extractor, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, and double oven with separate grill.

A sleek breakfast bar extends into the space, surrounded by glass-fronted cabinetry and gentle under-unit lighting.

The combination of quartz, stone, and neutral paintwork keeps the room light and timeless, while underfloor heating adds everyday practicality.

A window to the far end of the room draws the eye across the mature gardens beyond, grounding this luxury interior in its peaceful, green surroundings.

From the kitchen, the layout flows naturally into the lounge. Here, dual-aspect windows, including a graceful bay, capture light from every direction.

The ornate plasterwork continues, with a detailed ceiling rose and decorative coving preserving the apartment’s elegant Victorian soul.

There is a sense of quiet grandeur, with enough space to define both living and dining areas, while still maintaining a warm and homely feel.

Throughout the apartment, careful modernisation has ensured that comfort and convenience match the period beauty.

The home benefits from double glazing, electric storage heating, and additional underfloor heating in the kitchen and principal en-suite.

There is an alarm system for peace of mind, and the building’s communal areas are immaculately maintained, reflecting the pride shared by all who live here.

The principal bedroom lies to the left, framed by two grand sash windows that flood the room with natural light.

Decorative plaster coving traces the ceiling, and traditional furnishings lend a sense of stately charm. There is ample space for a super king bed and additional furniture.

The en-suite is a sanctuary. A large walk-in shower with a seating area sits beside a chrome towel radiator and a floating vanity unit with a wide mirror above.

Mosaic feature tiles run through the space, complemented by soft neutral tones to the walls and floor.

Underfloor heating brings comfort underfoot, adding a touch of modern luxury to the classical styling. Continuing along the hallway, the third bedroom sits at the rear.

Dual-aspect sash and bay windows frame the view and fill the room with light, creating a beautiful, serene atmosphere.

Currently arranged as a formal dining room, it has also served as an elegant guest space, its high ceilings and ornate cornicing providing the perfect backdrop for gatherings.

The second bedroom mirrors the same refinement, styled with bespoke walnut furnishings that include fitted wardrobes and display cabinetry.

Every corner has been thoughtfully designed for both style and practicality, and the tranquil setting ensures restful nights.

Complete with a second en-suite, styled in a sophisticated and modern interpretation of the home’s period aesthetic.

Anthracite feature tiles, a large walk-in shower with a rainfall head, and a statement oversized vanity unit with built-in display lighting create a spa-like feel.

Stepping outside, the property is framed by established trees and lawns, with pathways leading through the gardens that surround the mansion.

It is a setting that feels private yet connected, just moments from Manchester Road and within easy reach of Bury, Tottington, and the surrounding countryside.

The views from the rear windows sweep across open fields and rolling hills, offering a daily reminder of the area’s heritage and natural beauty.
