A rare freehold opportunity in Chorlton: a bay‑fronted Victorian semi currently configured as four self‑contained flats. The building sits on a generous corner plot with lawned communal gardens, off‑street parking and good natural light from multiple aspects. Its location, a short walk from Beech Road and the Wilbraham Road Metrolink, keeps it attractive to students and professionals seeking easy access to the city and local amenities.
The property is offered with tenants in place and visible rental income (Apt 1 £650pcm, Apt 2 £550pcm, Apt 3 £650pcm, Apt 4 £800pcm), so it suits a buyer seeking immediate cashflow. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting the needs of modern tenants. The building retains attractive external period character and bay windows which help with lettability in this popular neighbourhood.
Material points to note: the building is electrically heated via storage heaters and the external walls are solid brick with no known insulation — upgrading heating and insulation would materially improve efficiency and rental appeal. The building is older (pre‑1900) and sits in an area with higher measured deprivation, so ongoing maintenance and targeted investment will be required to maximise returns. Council tax is very cheap and the site has no flood risk.
For an investor this is a straightforward buy‑to‑let or HMO conversion play with immediate income and clear scope to add value through thermal improvements, modernising kitchens/bathrooms and selective reconfiguration. Internal viewing (subject to tenant notice) is recommended to confirm condition and refurbishment costings.
