This bay-fronted Victorian terrace offers a comfortable two-bedroom layout across 778 sq ft, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking period character with everyday practicality. Original features such as coving and a decorative fireplace sit alongside a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom, making the house move-in ready in many areas.
Outside, a larger-than-average rear garden with block-paved patio, brick outhouse and mature borders provides private outdoor space for gardening and entertaining. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and has an EPC rating of C (71).
Location is a strong selling point: close to Highfield Country Park, the Fallowfield Loop and Greenbank playing fields, with Levenshulme train station and the A6 within walking/driving distance. Local independent cafés, shops and a range of schools (including an Outstanding secondary) are nearby, supporting everyday needs and leisure.
Important practical notes: the terrace was originally built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without built-in insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for wall insulation or related works. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect local services and investment; council tax is very cheap. Overall this is a well-preserved period home with garden potential and good commuter links, suited to someone looking for character with room to improve energy performance over time.
