Wythenshawe Road, Sale, M33 2JX

Good things come to those who wait, imagine waiting for the whole of 2024 before the perfect property launches just before Christmas. People regularly say I love period properties but they don't have enough bathrooms or the kitchen space doesn't work or there isn't enough parking or garden space, well this could be the one that solves all those problems, just look at that plot! Built in 1901 and extensively modernised and extended in 2022, this home combines the period charm of that era with the functionality and design of now with family living in mind with every aspect.

The property alone will make you the envy of all your friends but wait until they find out about the location. Sale Moor has always been popular with families but as the village changes more buyers are flocking to the area. With schools such as Worthington Primary, Lime Tree Academy and Holy Family Primary School all within half a mile you'll have the catchment area that dreams are made of, also working off that half mile radius you are walking distance to the Metrolink and obviously have Sale Moor village on your doorstep. The village has seen new arrivals like Fibbers Magee, Porta 134 and Kickback Coffee change the high street however there is still that small village feel with several successful independents like the butchers, the jewellers and of course the pubs! You're also only a short walk from Sale and Stanley Square as well as a taxi ride away from Didsbury, Chorlton or Manchester City Centre for an evening out but if you're thinking of commuting you've got several major bus routes and the motorway network to complement the Metrolink. If exploring green spaces is more your thing you've got easy access to the River Mersey for a walk down to the Riverside Café, you've got Walkden Gardens and Sale Water Park to spend time walking around and enjoying as well.

Set back from Wythenshawe Road, this beautiful example of Edwardian design is approached off the long driveway with space for several vehicles (you'd even fit a caravan on it!) and is on a wider than expected plot which has allowed the vendors to craft the wonderful extension you will see on the walk up to the property. The extension has been done extremely sympathetically and the extension blends perfectly with the original design which maintains many of it's original features. As the extension has been completed to the highest standard you'll find no expense spared with modern features such as solar panels which currently generate approx. £800 PA, wired ethernet ports throughout with scope for 10gb networking, log burner in the living room and wet system underfloor heating throughout the extension. Given the high level of insulation and construction the vendor has been able to solve some of those nagging heating issues with properties of this age yet managed to keep all it's charm.

You will enter the home through a small porch and through the stained glass door to reveal a long corridor with wood floors. This hallway provides access to the front reception room which currently functions as a cosy living room with it's rich décor and feature fireplace taking centre place. The vendor's smart choices start shining through here with plantation shutters added to the large bay window which provides shade from the sun but blends beautifully with the rest of the décor. This space could easily remain as the adult, formal living space or be utilised as the play room or even large home office! Backing onto the living room is the current dining room that provides access to the extended kitchen and the cellars. Again the original features like the fireplace and inglenook window have been retained and this space provides a blank canvas for the next buyer to come in and add their own colour splash and make use however it works for them - will it be a dining room, second sitting room, play room, cinema room or something else? 

The extension is likely to be the star of the show - from the sheer scale and size to the finer details such as adding in a modern inglenook window ideal for a Christmas tree, exquisite stone tiles, a modern yet sympathetically designed kitchen area, vaulted ceiling, enormous sliding doors which open the inside space to the outside seamlessly and numerous other features that will potentially catch your eye. The kitchen has a combination of integrated white goods like the wine fridge and silent dishwasher alongside a freestanding American fridge freezer all built around the elegant kitchen design that hides many unique storage solutions like the pantries. The current vendor has the room set up as the main living space with a huge corner sofa sat in front of the cinematic TV but this could easily be the grand dining hall with a 12 if not 14 seater table or you could combine the space to fit a dining table alongside a sofa to create a true open plan living kitchen space, whatever you choose to do though it really is a breathtaking space that few homes in Sale will be able to replicate.

Believe it or not, the ground floor keeps going through the pocketed sliding door into a large utility space with access to the garden and also has space for a brand new shower room and downstairs bedroom currently utilised as a home office but this could easily be annexed from the home to provide a teenage hideaway or space for an elderly relative or even a small AirBnB space with access around the side of the house!

If we head downstairs into the cellar space before we go up you'll find every teenager's dream room with one of the chambers being tanked and used as a gaming room! The rest of the cellar space is currently used as storage but with further work there is head height to potentially consider tanking the entire space and making further bedrooms or reception spaces.

Back up the stairs to the first floor there are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The back bedroom is currently used as another office which shows the versatility of the home again with space for two home offices and we've not even mentioned the loft space yet! The magic really happens in the master bedroom though, where it's not design over functionality. There is more to this space than simply stylish panelled walls and an original fireplace, it hides two secrets. Behind the wood doors there is an en-suite and walk in wardrobe, both spaces you're unlikely to find in comparable properties locally and especially not in properties of this era!

Up into the loft room which was converted by the previous owner for additional space, this could be the last space in the house that could be utilised as a home office as it has heating and a skylight or even an occasional bedroom. It is worth noting there is currently no building regulations for the loft space but again with further development and planning consent you could easily add a dormer to create another large bedroom space with potentially space for another en-suite.

We've made it all the way through the house and the garden has yet to make an appearance but get ready for a surprise. Backing on to Worthington Primary School, this vast garden offers so much for a range of buyers. There is currently a large patio area for lazing in the sun and the established lawn, trees and shrubbery have been retained to allow the dogs space to run around in and explore alongside nature but there's scope for adding a detached home office, climbing frame for the kids, vegetable patch for chefs or simply to enhance what is already there. When the sun comes out again do expect to the be the one that has to host all the parties in the summer!

Make sure you act quickly on this one and quote GY0737 to get your viewing confirmed.
