Description

A superb Didsbury opportunity combining generous proportions, excellent storage and a private garage within a leafy development, moments from fantastic transport connections, green spaces and the vibrant amenities of West Didsbury.



This well-positioned apartment offers generous living space, excellent storage and the valuable advantage of a substantial private garage, all within an established residential development in a highly convenient part of Didsbury. Set amongst attractive communal gardens with mature trees and lawns, the property enjoys a pleasant setting while remaining well placed for local amenities and transport.

Inside, the entrance hall provides useful built-in storage before opening into an impressive living and dining room. This is a particularly generous reception space, with a wide window bringing in plenty of natural light and ample room for both comfortable seating and a dining area.

The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, contrasting work surfaces and tiled flooring, together with a built-in oven, gas hob and extractor. There is space for additional appliances, while the large window provides good natural light.

Both bedrooms offer good usable space. The larger bedroom provides plenty of room for freestanding furniture, while the second benefits from extensive built-in storage. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and wash basin, complemented by a separate WC. Double glazing is also included.

A particularly useful feature is the separate garage, which provides valuable secure parking and additional storage. The development is surrounded by established communal garden areas, creating an attractive leafy outlook and a welcome sense of space around the buildings.

The location is a major attraction, with West Didsbury Metrolink stop close by, providing convenient connections towards Manchester city centre and across the wider tram network. Wilmslow Road is also easily accessible, offering frequent bus services towards Didsbury, Withington, the universities and central Manchester, while nearby road links make surrounding areas readily accessible.

West Didsbury and neighbouring Didsbury provide an excellent selection of independent cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and everyday amenities. Green spaces nearby include Fog Lane Park, Didsbury Park and Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens. Families also have access to schools within the wider area, including Beaver Road Primary School, St Catherine's RC Primary School and The Barlow RC High School. Buyers should confirm current admissions and catchment arrangements directly with the relevant schools or local authority.

Deposit

Sales can be secured with a reservation deposit of £2,500. This forms part of the final purchase price and is NOT an extra cost.

Exclusivity

Following the payment of the above amount, Springbok Properties will facilitate a fixed exclusivity period (approximately 12 weeks). During this time, surveys should be arranged and preparations made for the exchange of contracts. The property will be reserved, so there will be no risk of gazumping.
