As previously mentioned this detached home is a fine example a mid century house, with that in mind be prepared to see impressive room sizes that have the perfect mix of open plan and sectioned off living that modern builds try to replicate but very rarely achieve. You'll access the property from the driveway with space for several vehicles with established front garden space, you will notice the garage door which still has a great bit of storage behind it for bikes, chest freezer or a general hideaway for items waiting to go to the tip! Through the front door you are in a generous porch that has sliding doors hiding a cloakroom space then onto the large living room at the front. Now this is currently set up as a living room with plenty of space for sofas, TVs, games consoles and more but this space could easily be switched the dining room space so you could move the living space to the rear to provide easy access to the garden. Similarly there is enough space to fit a small dining table alongside the living room furniture so you could turn the back room into a play room. Both reception rooms are partially open to each other to the side of the exposed stairs which really make a feature of the room. The dining room at the back has space for living room furniture as well as a gorgeous dining table - this is a true entertainers space off the kitchen and could be the envy of your friends as you become the host with the most, just imagine the dinner parties! The natural light floods through this space with the window and sliding door leading to the south facing courtyard.

Off the dining room is potentially the best room in the whole house, a fully modernised kitchen with feature tiles behind the hob and it's galley design maximises the space again similar to the living room and dining room and again is bathed in natural light from the French doors to the courtyard and window overlooking the side garden. Walking past the sleek units you'll discover the WC at the end with the same beautiful tiles as the kitchen but this time on the floor. This space also incorporates the utility space with fully plumbing for washing machine and further storage.

If you follow those feature stairs up you're in for another surprise if you're not a 1970s aficionado, you'll find four generous bedrooms. There are three double bedrooms and the single room is larger than your average box room in similar sized 30s or 50s homes. This means if you've got teenagers who need to hideaway they've got the space, other relatives staying with you or even two people working from home you can have more than enough space for a home office. The two larger doubles also benefit from fitted wardrobes and large windows again bringing the light into the rooms as well as the first bedroom having a en-suite! Off the landing, there is a family bathroom that has been tastefully modernised.

If that's not enough you're also lucky enough to have that south facing courtyard to the rear which seems the perfect place to sit and read a book with your morning coffee or simply let the younger children play out there while you work at the dining table. The vendor has done a excellent job turning this garden into your own slice of paradise in on of South Manchester's most sought after suburbs with established shrubbery, greenery and flowers galore in raised beds leading around the side towards the lawned garden, this perfectly formed space is large enough to host many a family BBQ or again another space for your children or even pets to explore, there's even scope to potentially moved the fencing and steal some the driveway to the front the extend the garden the full length of the plot to the side. By having different garden spaces though you can feel like you've got some separation from the different parts and like this vendor and have the zen feeling courtyard for quiet reflection while the family make the most of the lawned garden kicking a ball, having water fights or whatever other trouble they want to get into.

Vendor's favourite features "We moved here almost 50 years ago when the house was newly built and have always enjoyed the quiet cul-de-sac setting. It was a great location to bring up our two children, with the garden and a safe space to play. In addition, easy access to local parks, schools and shops made it the ideal place to live. Latterly, it has been the perfect house for family get-togethers and visits from grandchildren.

It’s very much with mixed emotions that we’ve decided to move on. We will miss the house, the lovely neighbours and the great community feel of the drive but it’s time to be practical and move to a smaller property. We take away wonderful memories and leave the house for the next family to enjoy and create memories of their own.”
