Description
red-brick terrace offers an exceptional opportunity to secure a truly special home in one of South Manchester’s most
sought-after locations. Perfectly positioned for those who love the energy and convenience of village living, you’ll find
yourself just a short walk from Withington’s buzzing cafés, independent shops, cosy pubs and an impressive choice of
places to eat and drink.
Excellent bus routes and commuter links provide quick, easy access into Manchester city centre,
while the universities and major hospitals are close by, making this an outstanding base for professionals, medical staff
and students. Families will also appreciate the selection of well-regarded local schools and, with Old Moat Park directly
opposite, there’s a wonderful sense of green space and community right on your doorstep.
The current owners have sympathetically modernised the property to an exceptional standard, retaining its period charm
while introducing stylish, contemporary finishes throughout. Spanning four spacious levels, the accommodation offers a
highly versatile layout that suits a wide range of buyers.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hallway leading
to a bright and elegant bay-fronted living room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This flows beautifully into a generous
dining room and a sleek, modern kitchen, creating a sociable space ideal for family meals, gatherings or cooking with
friends. Upstairs, the first floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a chic family bathroom, while the
second floor reveals a further impressive double bedroom – a peaceful retreat that works perfectly as a main suite, guest
room or dedicated home office.
One of the property’s standout features lies below, where a remarkable converted cellar transforms the home into
something truly unique. Thoughtfully designed and fully equipped, the cinema room offers a luxurious space for film
nights, gaming or relaxed evenings in. There is also a handy WC, a practical utility room and plenty of built-in storage,
adding superb functionality to this level while enhancing the overall living experience.
Outside, the home benefits from street parking to the front and a private, enclosed rear yard – an ideal spot for morning
coffee, evening drinks or simply unwinding in your own secure outdoor space. Offered for sale with no onward vendor
chain, this is a home that you can move straight into and start enjoying immediately.
With its combination of period
character, modern upgrades, generous accommodation and unbeatable location, properties like this very rarely come to
market. It’s a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, young professionals and growing families looking for a standout
home in beautiful condition, right in the centre of one of Manchester’s most thriving districts.
Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.

Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
