Urmston Lane, Stretford, Manchester, M32

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period detached residence occupying an impressive plot on the Urmston/Stretford border and offering exceptional versatility, character and future potential. Set behind a gated block paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, this handsome bay-fronted home immediately impresses with its generous proportions, high ceilings and abundance of retained period features, including original wood flooring and attractive exposed brickwork. The ground floor has been significantly extended over the years to create an outstanding range of flexible living accommodation. The variety of reception spaces allows buyers to configure the home around their own requirements, whether for family living, entertaining, home working or multi-generational occupation. The impressive room dimensions throughout create a wonderful sense of space rarely found in modern homes. Without doubt, one of the property’s defining features is its remarkable garden. Extending across a substantial plot, the beautifully maintained grounds offer a series of distinct areas including extensive lawns, mature planting beds, patio entertaining spaces, vegetable patches and summer house. Mature trees provide exceptional privacy and screening. The property also presents exciting opportunities for future growth. Previous planning consent was granted for an additional bedroom above the kitchen extension, while further potential may exist, subject to the necessary consents, for development above the integral garage and conversion of the loft space. Collectively, these opportunities could allow a future owner to create up to three additional bedrooms and significantly increase the already impressive accommodation. Further features include an integral garage with adjoining store room, extensive frontage, mature landscaped gardens and a location that perfectly combines convenience with residential appeal. Uniquely, the property’s position straddles the Urmston and Stretford boundary. Properties offering this combination of character, plot size, mature gardens, adaptable accommodation and future potential are exceptionally rare. This is a home that can be enjoyed immediately while still offering exciting scope for enhancement in the years ahead.
