This substantial period property occupies a huge corner plot in Stretford, offering rare outdoor space and off-street parking for several cars. The house is freehold and includes a self-contained one-bedroom basement flat with private access — useful for extended family or rental income. Local amenities, Metrolink links and highly rated schools, including a top 10% grammar school, make the location particularly family-friendly.
The main house dates from the early 20th century and retains Victorian character such as bay windows, high ceilings and solid brick construction. Internally the layout comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, utility, five bedrooms across three levels and two bathrooms. The property is currently in need of renovation throughout; many rooms show wear, damp in places is noted, and modernisation will be required to unlock the full value.
Practical considerations: the house has double glazing (unknown install date), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and solid brick walls with little or no insulation (assumed). EPC rating F and expensive council tax band reflect current energy performance and running costs. Buyers should budget for insulation, possible redecoration, and systems updating to improve efficiency and comfort.
For investors or growing families, the basement flat offers immediate lettable potential once modernised, and the large plot gives scope for landscaping, extensions (subject to planning) or other improvements. The property’s small overall floor area (approx. 1,024 sq ft) means room sizes and layouts should be reviewed against needs before committing to purchase.
