This spacious five-bedroom semi-detached Edwardian home offers flexible family accommodation across approximately 1,716 sq ft. Bay-fronted reception rooms, high corniced ceilings and stained-glass detailing retain period character, while an extended kitchen and integrated appliances provide modern daily convenience. The loft conversion adds a useful fifth bedroom with its own shower room, ideal for guests or teenagers.
Outside, a generous driveway provides off-street parking and storage is bolstered by brick-built garages. The south-facing rear garden is a genuine asset — shaped lawn, mature borders and a patio create a sunny, private space for children and family entertaining. The location on a quiet cul-de-sac keeps traffic low but places West Didsbury village amenities and the Metrolink within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the house dates from the 1930s and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. Council tax is above average for the area. The property sits in a ward recorded as more deprived than neighbouring pockets, which may affect resale timing for some buyers.
Overall, this is a strong family home in a desirable South Manchester neighbourhood, combining period charm, flexible space and outdoor amenity. It will particularly suit families seeking proximity to good schools, transport links and village shops, and buyers prepared to invest modestly in energy upgrades.
