Penarth Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M22

Significant Potential on a Prime Plot

Located in a fantastic residential pocket of Northenden, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home on a large, versatile plot. The house has been extended to the rear to include a formal dining area and a sunroom, offering a layout that flows naturally for family life. While the property requires a degree of TLC, the "bones" of the home are excellent. It features two distinct reception rooms—one with a focal fireplace and another that serves as a perfect snug—alongside a kitchen with charming retro cabinetry. The exterior is equally impressive, with double gates leading to a driveway and a garden that was once a "little oasis," simply waiting to be restored to its former glory. Whether you are looking for a project to create your forever home or a solid investment in a popular area, Penarth Road is a must-see.
