Ground Floor:
Living room: (No TV)
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge
First Floor:
Bedroom 1: Super Kingsize (6ft) Bed
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds

Private permit parking for 1 car, £3 for additional parking. No smoking. Please note: This property has steep narrow stairs and there is no handrail - extra care to be taken at all times.. Dating back to 1806, the Grade II Listed Smithy Lodge stands as a historical gem, once serving as the original gatehouse for Heaton Park within the esteemed Earls of Wilton estate. Its distinctive eight-sided design, a nod to a bygone era, has been meticulously restored, offering a unique opportunity to reside within the expansive grounds of one of Europe’s largest municipal parks. Perfect for couples and small groups, this enchanting lodge accommodates up to four guests, providing a distinctive retreat on the outskirts of Manchester city centre.
As you step inside, the lower level unfolds into a comfortable lounge and a spacious kitchen/dining area, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation and shared moments. Venture upstairs to discover two generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom, each exuding a timeless charm. The property retains specific features mandated by its original design and Grade II Listing—steep stairs without handrails, and ambient lighting primarily provided by lamps. While this may not cater to everyone’s preferences, it undoubtedly contributes to the property’s unique charm and historical character.
Beyond the threshold lies Heaton Park, a historically significant and stunning green space, proudly listed as Grade II on the English Heritage Register of Parks. The park is home to the Manchester Beekeeper’s Association and boasts the only flat bowling greens in Manchester, purpose-built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Explore its diverse offerings, including cafes, a farm, a Tram Museum, a championship-quality golf course, and a serene boating lake. Heaton Park hosts a vibrant year-round calendar of events, ranging from intimate recitals in the Heaton Hall music room to iconic outdoor concerts featuring renowned artists like Oasis and The Stone Roses.
Smithy Lodge and Heaton Park are conveniently located in proximity to both Prestwich and Whitefield, offering easy access to the usual amenities such as shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. The bustling centre of Manchester is a mere 3.5 miles away. On the opposite side of Heaton Park sits the Heaton Park tram stop, providing a convenient alternative for those looking to explore Manchester and its suburbs, including Altrincham, Didsbury, Old Trafford, and Salford Quays, among others.

There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.

Cosy, comfortable with a bit of quirkiness
A short stay with a bit of difference being inside Heaton Park. Warm, clean and cosy with amazingly comfortable beds. Kitchen was well equipped. Loved our time as a family for 3 nights. As expected there was quite a lot of traffic noise being close to the main road. Also lovely park to wander around. Made the Heaton Parkrun and also had a fun round of Pitch and Putt!

Couldn’t get access to property for quite a while. Park gates were locked and 2security guards wouldn’t let me in. I phoned to meet someone who would let me in and they were about half an hour in arriving. It was pouring with rain I was soaked
