Seedfield House, The Drive, Bury – A Grand 19th Century Residence of Distinction

A truly remarkable example of period architecture, Seedfield House is a magnificent six-bedroom semi-detached residence offering over 5,100 sq ft of beautifully proportioned living space set within grounds approaching one-third of an acre. Perfectly positioned on one of Bury’s most prestigious roads and within easy reach of Bury Grammar School and the town centre, this imposing family home combines architectural grandeur with everyday practicality.

Constructed circa 1850 by the esteemed Grundy family, renowned for their success in the booming woollen industry of the time, the property was designed to reflect their wealth and status—and this legacy endures in every exquisite detail of the home today.

From the moment you pass through the private gated entrance, you are met with a commanding façade that sets the tone for the elegance within. The interiors are steeped in character, with an abundance of retained period features, including ornate ceiling roses, deep cornices, original wood panelling, and a rare, servants’ bell system —a feature seldom seen and a true mark of the home’s heritage.

Tall floor-to-ceiling sash windows with original internal shutters flood the rooms with light, while offering uninterrupted views of the beautifully landscaped gardens. Throughout the home, original fireplaces, handcrafted joinery, and solid timber flooring provide a sense of timeless quality.

The grandeur of the property is immediately evident upon entry, with a sweeping central staircase beneath an intricately detailed ceiling—an architectural centrepiece in its own right. The formal lounge and dining room, extending to nearly 600 sq ft, is a rare and breathtaking space, ideal for refined entertaining on a scale seldom seen in modern homes.

Upstairs, six generously sized bedrooms offer elegant proportions and ample flexibility for growing families or multi-generational living. Every space in the house is carefully considered, blending luxury, comfort, and historical integrity.

Externally, the home sits in mature, landscaped grounds with a large lawned frontage, ample driveway parking, and an array of mature trees and planting that create both privacy and year-round visual interest.

Seedfield House is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, historically significant home of this calibre in such a desirable location.
