Income‑producing Victorian semi in Chorlton — prime location with upgrade potential.
Corner Victorian semi‑detached converted into four self‑contained flats
A period red‑brick semi‑detached on a generous corner plot in Chorlton, currently configured as four self‑contained flats and producing rental income. The building retains attractive bay windows and period character to the exterior and sits a short walk from Beech Road, local shops, parks and the Wilbraham Road Metrolink for direct city links. Its mix of tenants and rooming layout suits a buy‑to‑let investor or landlord wishing to hold an income‑producing asset in a popular neighbourhood.
The property is currently tenanted and marketed using details for the top‑floor two‑bed apartment; the whole building footprint is medium and overall internal floor area for the listed unit is modest (total listed building size 748 sq ft). Practical benefits include off‑street resident parking, communal lawned gardens, double glazing and excellent mobile and fast broadband. Flooding risk is nil and council tax is very low.
Notable concerns are factual: heating is by electric storage heaters (no community gas feed indicated in supplied data), the external walls are original solid brick with no assumed insulation, and the area classification shows pockets of deprivation — factors that may affect yield, running costs and upgrade planning. The building dates from before 1900 so any purchaser should budget for period maintenance and possible retrofit works (insulation, heating upgrades) if seeking to improve EPC or long‑term running costs.
This is a straightforward investment proposition: a characterful Victorian property in a well‑connected part of Chorlton with immediate rental income, clear scope for value‑adding improvements, and a compact top‑floor apartment already described in marketing materials. Buyers should allow for works to heating and fabric to modernise performance and verify tenancy details and service arrangements before purchase.
