Set-back three-bed with large garden, scope to modernise and no onward chain.
No onward chain; freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house
Approx. 947 sq ft with two receptions and utility area
Large private rear garden; huge/massive plot with extension potential
Off-street residents’ parking; set back from main road
Double glazing installed before 2002 may need upgrading
Single family bathroom plus separate WC; sensible for 3-bed layout
Located near Withington/West Didsbury amenities and good schools
Area classed as very deprived; factor in local socio-economic context
This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a discreet, set-back plot on Old Moat Lane and is offered freehold with no onward chain. At about 947 sq ft the layout gives two generous reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining utility, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom plus separate WC, and a large private garden. Off-street residents’ parking and easy transport links into Manchester city centre add practical appeal.
The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period proportions and character while presenting clear scope to modernise. The rear reception room opens to the garden and the generous plot — described as huge — offers room for extensions or landscaping (subject to consents). Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed but predates 2002 and may not meet current performance expectations.
Practical positives include low council tax (Band A), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and close access to well-regarded schools and local amenities in Withington and West Didsbury. Material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area statistically, and the exterior garden and some yard concrete show signs of patching and renovation potential. Buyers should allow budget for updating and possible improvements to windows and interior finishes.
