## Description

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire this substantial three-bedroom semi-detached family home, situated in one of Irlam’s most sought-after and established residential locations. Representing the ideal "blank canvas," this solid and well-proportioned property requires a program of modernization throughout, offering a rare chance for a buyer to renovate to their own taste and significantly add value to a home with fantastic "bones."

The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hall leading to a bright, bay-fronted reception room to the right, perfect for a cozy family lounge. To the rear, the property has been thoughtfully adapted to create a contemporary flow, with the dining room and kitchen opened up into one large, open-plan space—a layout that serves as the heart of the home and offers views across the garden.

To the first floor, you will find three generously sized bedrooms and a family shower room. A standout feature of this home is the converted loft, which is accessed via a permanent staircase from the second bedroom, providing a versatile space ideal for a home office, playroom, or occasional guest suite.

Externally, the property sits on an impressively sizeable plot, offering considerable potential for future side or rear extensions (subject to relevant planning permissions). The front features a well-maintained garden alongside a driveway for off-road parking, which leads to a detached garage at the side. To the rear is a large, private garden—a perfect outdoor sanctuary for growing families.

Perfectly positioned for modern family life, Baines Avenue is just a stone's throw from the scenic trails of Irlam Moss, the local leisure centre, and a variety of reputable schools and shops. With its combination of prime location, sizeable grounds, and undeniable potential, this property is a must-see for those looking for a forever home they can truly make their own.
