Summary - 5 RUFFORD ROAD MANCHESTER M16 8AE
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious four-bedroom family home with garden and modern open-plan kitchen.
Victorian bay-fronted semi with period features and high ceilings
A handsome bay-fronted Victorian semi on a tree-lined street in Whalley Range, offered freehold with a useful garden and chamber cellars. The house combines period character — bay windows, high ceilings, picture rails — with a modern, open-plan kitchen/diner and a central island that opens onto the rear garden. Gas central heating, double glazing and an alarm system are already in place, and a video tour is available for remote viewing.
The layout spans three floors and provides four double bedrooms and a single family bathroom, making the property best suited to a family or sharers who value spacious bedrooms and flexible reception space. The plot is a notable plus: a decent front garden and a larger, enclosed rear garden with lawn and patio offer private outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Practical points to note: the property is solid brick and likely has no cavity insulation in the walls, and the glazing install date is unknown. There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, though transport links, schools and local amenities are strong and broadband and mobile signal are excellent. Council tax band is described as cheap.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented family home with scope to improve energy performance and add further modern comforts. It will appeal to buyers seeking proximity to the city, good schools and a quiet residential street rather than to those seeking a turnkey, low-maintenance new build.
