This spacious four-bedroom Victorian semi offers about 1,700 sq ft of traditional living in Whalley Range. Double-fronted bays, high ceilings and original stonework provide strong period character and a flexible layout of three reception rooms plus kitchen. The plot includes front, side and rear gardens, off-street parking and a detached garage — useful for family storage or a workshop.
The house is sold chain free on freehold tenure and needs renovation throughout, so it will suit buyers who want to add value or create a personalised family home. Notable issues include dated internal decoration, areas of water damage in the living room, and assumed lack of wall insulation in the original sandstone/limestone construction. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double but installation date is unknown.
Practical strengths include decent plot size, single-garage parking, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for homeworking families and students. There is only one shower room serving four bedrooms, so reconfiguration or an extension may be required for comfortable modern family living. Council tax is described as affordable for the area.
Local amenities and transport are strong: inner-city, cosmopolitan Whalley Range with nearby primary and secondary schools (Good and Outstanding rated options), shops, buses and community facilities. The property’s renovation scope presents a clear opportunity for a buyer seeking a project with solid period bones in a well-connected neighbourhood.
