Two elegant reception rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private courtyard garden create a versatile layout ideally suited to professionals, growing families and those seeking the West Didsbury lifestyle.

Montrose Avenue enjoys a particularly convenient setting within walking distance of Burton Road's independent cafés, restaurants, bars and shops, whilst Fletcher Moss Gardens, Didsbury Village and excellent transport connections are all close at hand.
