Anyone got a spare £3.25 million lying around?
Emily Sergeant -22nd February 2024
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?
ADVERTIsem*nT
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 independentshops, cafes,restaurants and bars, all on the doorstep, as well as several well-regarded local schools, and some really convenienttransportlinks acrossthe regionand 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.

Then you have the house itself.
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.
ADVERTIsem*nT
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.

A look at the plans to turn historic Ancoats mill with rich musical heritage into new apartment complexDanny Jones
Hodder + Partners have just revealed new CGIs and a more detailed look at the plans for their redevelopment of the longstanding Brunswick Mill in Ancoats which is set to become a brand-new apartment complex.
The proposals to turn the once creative space with decades of musical heritage into a new residential site were revealed back in 2021 and approved within just a few months, despite having been met with plenty of resistance given its history and cultural significance.
Nevertheless, Northern company Big Red Construction recently kicked off the £50+ million renovation on behalf of developer Arrowsmith Investments and the apartments are projected to be finished in 2026.
With that in mind, the architectural designers Hodder have just released a new look at what Brunswick Mill is set to look like once completed:
Set to transform the historic industrial mill-turned-creative space and music studios on the edge of New Islington into 153 new apartments, ranging from one, two and three-bedroom residences, the redevelopment will be spread across two phases.
In line with designs by Hodder + Partners, the initial phase involves converting the existing mill building and the construction of new four and seven-storey elements to accommodate the remaining 127 homes on the Bradford Road plot in Ancoats.
Big Red Construction, who are also working on the Peelers Yard building for CERT Property and Myprotein founder Oliver Cookson, are expected to complete phase one by the first quarter of 2026.
Here’s another look at what living space people are already buying up:

- Plans approved for Man Met’s ‘modern and dynamic’ new library building
Along with Hodder + Partners as architects, the project team also consists of HW Consultancy who are covering structural aspects, Manchester firm Clancy for mechanical and electrical considerations, as well as AM Pyro as fire engineers.
With property company Orlando Reid serving as estate agents for the project, 42 out of the 153 apartments have already been sold off-plan, with managing director Baljit Arora describing it as “an exciting period for all parties involved and for the city of Manchester”.
This is just the latest chapter in the continued regeneration of the Ancoats and the New Islington areas, which remain two of the most heavily re-developed areas in the city centre and Greater Manchester as a whole. You can see other hot properties in and around the region HERE.

Council unveils ‘future vision’ for Chorlton’s high street as it sets out redevelopment plansEmily Sergeant
Manchester residents are being asked for their views on the ‘future vision’ of Chorlton’s high street as redevelopment plans have now been set out.
With the aim of making sure the neighbourhood stays an “attractive, welcoming, and accessible space” for local people and visitors to enjoy for decades to come, Manchester City Council has now launched a public consultation into the redevelopment of Chorlton’s main high street and immediate surrounding areas.
New artist impression images of the project have also been released.
The draft ‘Public Realm Plan’ is part of a city-wide focus on local district centres to ensure they can “benefit from emerging regeneration opportunities”, according to the Council.
With a number of development opportunities for the Manchester suburb now in the works and set to take shape over the coming years, the Council says this is a “timely opportunity” to put in place a vision for how the high street could look in the future, and open the plans up to the public for their thoughts and feedback.
The plans look to create a “distinct” district centre, with benefits for the local commercial, retail, and food and drink offering, all a part of them.
Cllr Gavin White, who is the Executive Member for Housing and Development at Manchester City Council, called Chorlton’s high street the “beating heart of the community” as the redevelopment plans went out to public consultation this week.
He commented: “We have made a clear commitment to focus on our district centres across Manchester and ensure our local high streets are vibrant, attractive, and welcoming spaces for local people and visitors.
“These centres are the beating hearts of our communities, and their strength is in providing a range of vital local services on the doorsteps of our residents. The economic prosperity of these spaces is directly linked to the prosperity of the wider local neighbourhood, and the right investment is crucial to support their continued success.
“Chorlton will welcome a number of key developments in the coming months and years, and this is the community’s opportunity to help guide how their high street and public spaces will look and feel in the years ahead.”
