A spacious five-bedroom, bay-fronted semi-detached house set on a corner plot in sought-after Old Trafford. The property’s extended layout across three floors includes a ground-floor study, through lounge with bay window and a large kitchen/dining extension opening to an enclosed rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. The converted loft provides additional bedroom space with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, giving flexible sleeping arrangements or a home office.
Practical features include a gravel driveway and double gates providing off-street parking, gas central heating, double glazing and an alarm system. Local transport is strong with Firswood Metrolink and multiple bus routes within easy walking distance, and the house sits close to highly rated primary schools and the amenities of Chorlton and MediaCity — good for commuting and family convenience.
Condition is generally sound but basic in places; minor cosmetic updating to kitchens and bathrooms would modernise the home and unlock further value. The property’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (typical of its 1930s build), so buyers should consider insulation improvements for energy efficiency. The home is leasehold with a long remaining term (903 years) and affordable council tax, but it sits in an area classed as deprived — a factor for some buyers to weigh against the strong transport and schooling links.
Overall this is a roomy, well-located family home with parking and garden space, good potential for reconfiguration or modernisation, and immediate move-in usability. A video tour is available for remote viewing prior to an internal inspection.
