A substantial six-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home, significantly improved and beautifully maintained, set over four floors in a sought-after location between Fallowfield and Withington.
This handsome period semi offers the space, proportions and character of its era, with the major and expensive work already done.
The current owners have invested significantly in the fabric of the property. The roof has been fully renewed in natural Welsh slate, and the windows replaced throughout with bespoke timber double-glazed sash units that are sympathetic to the period but deliver modern efficiency and comfort.
New plantation shutters have been fitted to all 24 windows, with the house redecorated throughout. A new boiler and water tank deliver excellent pressure across both bathrooms, with capacity to spare for a third.
The result is an EPC rating of C, an excellent level for a Victorian home of this size and genuine reassurance for any buyer mindful of running costs.
The ground floor is arranged for both family living and entertaining, with two reception rooms and a kitchen-diner, and three bay windows drawing light through the principal rooms.
Much of the period detail has been retained, including two fireplaces downstairs, a wood burner set into the main living room, and a beautiful tiled fireplace in the principal bedroom. It is the increasingly rare combination of genuine character alongside the comfort and efficiency of a home that has been thoroughly modernised.
Upstairs, six bedrooms across the upper floors offer ample room for a large family, guests or home working, served by two bathrooms, the principal of which is in good order with scope to update to taste. The shaker-style kitchen has been refreshed with a smart new colour scheme and opens into the dining space, making it a natural place to cook while hosting friends or gathering the family around the table. The lower ground floor houses a second shower room alongside a practical utility and workshop area with generous storage.
The location is a genuine draw for families and professionals alike. Withington and Didsbury villages are within easy reach, with their cafés, restaurants and green spaces close at hand, perfect for weekend brunches and the occasional midweek dinner out. Mauldeth Road station is close by, with trains reaching Manchester Piccadilly in under ten minutes and Manchester Airport in around twenty, and regular buses run into the city centre and universities.
Families are exceptionally well served, with a number of highly regarded schools within a mile, including the Outstanding-rated primaries Cringle Brook and Old Moat and the Outstanding Burnage Academy.
Outside, the property enjoys mature gardens and off-road parking, and is offered with no onward chain.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large period family home where the costly, disruptive work on the roof, windows, boiler and decoration has already been carried out to a high standard, while the character that makes these houses special has been kept intact. Move in, settle, and make it your own at your own pace.
