A substantial Victorian semi-detached house arranged over four floors, offered chain-free and ready for full modernisation. The property retains original period features, large rooms and a loft room, giving scope to create a generous family home in a central Urmston location within walking distance of shops and the train station.
Accommodation includes a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, traditional kitchen with cellar access and three double bedrooms plus a three-piece bathroom. The cellar comprises three chambers and offers conversion potential (subject to consents). Off-street parking and a gated front area lead to a large, east-facing rear garden ideal for family use or entertaining.
Material work is required throughout: the house needs complete modernisation, solid brick walls likely lack insulation, and external images indicate areas of disrepair and possible damp that will need investigation and repair. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. Buyers should plan for renovation costs, potential insulation and damp remediation, and check any conversion plans against local planning requirements.
This property will suit families or renovators seeking space and period character close to good schools (including two highly ranked primaries and a well-regarded grammar academy), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. With no onward chain and a sizeable plot, it presents clear uplift potential for a buyer prepared to invest in updating and modernisation.
