Situated on one of Didsbury most desirable roads in a cul de sac position and just a few minutes’ walk from Didsbury village and the metrolink, this property is beautifully presented throughout and retains many original features including high corniced ceilings, bay windows, original internal panel doors and varnished wooden flooring. Boasting a particularly generous plot with extensive gardens to 3 sides, a most unusual feature for this central location, it also enjoys a secure, gated driveway and as such is bound to appeal to the growing family buyer.

Accessed via the attractive garden frontage the accommodation comprises a large entrance porch leading through the the spacious hallway with its turning staircase to the upper floors, and beautiful stained glass windows.

The spacious kitchen/ dining room is positioned at the rear, fitted with a good range of floor and wall units and housing a freestanding Rangemaster range oven, dishwasher and American style fridge/ freezer. It now has a large opening through to the side extension, creating a stunning, light filled living/ dining/ kitchen area with 2 sets of French doors opening to the large side garden. Also within the extension is a down stairs WC and access to the attached garage. The double garage has been informally converted into a games room, insulated, with spot downlighting and a door out to the side. This could easily be turned back into a garage if desired with the garage door still in place.

On the first floor the landing gives access to the principal bedroom with a large bay window to the front and a door leading to a 'Jack and Jill' en-suite bathroom. There are a further 4 double bedrooms on this level including within the side extension, all great sizes and well appointed, plus an additional generous shower room.

At basement level there is a large, full height footprint, offering scope for formal conversion if desired with a large hallway chamber, 2 storage chambers and a utility room chamber housing one of the central heating boilers, space for a washing machine and dryer and a door leading via steps up to the rear garden.

Externally, this garden is blessed with sizable gardens with a large side garden, ideal for families with both a hardwearing artificial lawn area (perfect for football!) and a large natural lawn, all surrounded by very mature beds and borders with a host of feature shrubs and trees. Adjacent to the extended family room is a raised timber terrace. Set to the rear is a good sized, cottage style garden, with paved patios and mature borders. This area offers scope for a conservatory / orangery style extension (subject to consents) if desired.
