About this home
Occupying a substantial plot on one of Whalley Range's most sought after residential roads, this impressive five-bedroom semi-detached Victorian residence extends to almost 3,000 sq. ft. and offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a characterful family home brimming with original features, generous living accommodation and significant future potential.
Set back from the road and enjoying a large, private rear garden, the property immediately impresses with its handsome period features and commanding presence. Internally, the house retains an abundance of original character, including ornate cornicing, high ceilings, deep skirting boards, original fireplaces and large sash-style windows that flood the accommodation with natural light and enhance the sense of space throughout.
A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a selection of elegant reception rooms, each benefitting from generous proportions and attractive period detailing. The principal reception spaces offer excellent flexibility, whether utilised as formal living and dining rooms, a family room or home office space. The spacious kitchen provides ample scope for enhancement and modernisation while maintaining the property's traditional charm.
To the upper floors, five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across the accommodation, offering excellent versatility for growing families, multi-generational living or those requiring dedicated workspace. The bedrooms are complemented by family bathroom facilities and enjoy views across the surrounding residential setting and gardens.
A particular feature of the property is the extensive cellar accommodation, providing substantial additional storage space and offering exciting potential for future conversion, subject to any necessary consents. Whether utilised as storage, workshop space, a home gym, cinema room or further living accommodation, the cellar significantly enhances the overall versatility of the home.
Externally, the property benefits from a beautifully sized private rear garden, offering a peaceful retreat and providing ample space for outdoor entertaining, children's play areas, landscaping or further garden enhancements. Mature planting and established boundaries contribute to a high degree of privacy and seclusion, rarely found in such a convenient urban location.
Whilst the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating and modernisation in certain areas, it has clearly been well maintained and remains entirely functional throughout. Importantly, the works required are largely aesthetic rather than structural, presenting a fantastic opportunity for purchasers to personalise the home to their own tastes while preserving its wealth of original period character.
Offering both immediate enjoyment and exciting scope for future enhancement, the property represents an exceptional blend of character, space and potential.
Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
