Henwood Road, Manchester, M20 4XQ

Spanning over 850 SqFt, this period terrace is hiding some BIG secrets behind it's front door from the large modern extension to the immaculate finish to its generous garden there is much more to this home than first meets the eye.

When these period properties get extended they sometimes feel like they lose their character but not this one. It seamlessly blends modern living and building with the original features creating unique spaces and aspects throughout the space. The one thing you aren't short of here though is light which has been thought about when designing the space. If you are a first time buyer, downsizer or investor you have hit the jackpot here because you can simply move in and enjoy this home as the heavy lifting has been done for you!

A home isn't all about the house though, the location plays a huge part in it and so does community. Henwood Road is one of those areas that has an active WhatsApp group and a real sense of community (and if you get in here quick rumour has it a book club is due to be formed soon!). This is a road where neighbours look out for each other and you have a real mix of demographics down here too. Being a quiet cul-de-sac with residential parking in place, it is one of those roads people don't realise exists until they come for a viewing. Moreover the location is perfect for enjoying all M20 has on offer. You're around a 15 minute walk from two Metrolink stops and Burnage train station making commuting a doddle as well as having major bus routes, cycle paths and the road network on hand too. You are also stumbling distance from Withington Village and Burton Road meaning that you can take in all the independent bars, restaurants and cafes that M20 has. One thing people always forget about though is that you can cut through to Fog Lane Park at the end of the road which is ideal for those with kids or dogs. If schools is more your requirement you're within a mile of some amazing schools like St Cuthberts, St Pauls and Beaver Road as well as several high schools locally. The thing with this location is whatever drives you will end up keeping you here as your family grows or your situation changes - it's no surprise this is regularly referred to as one of South Manchester's hottest postcodes.

Back to the amazing house though, no expense has been spared making this a truly exquisite home. You will access the house off the front garden into the hallway through the gorgeous pink front door.

This hallway leads into what would have been the dining room. This space is now the heart of the home and will definitely be where people congregate at the parties (well it is where the drinks cabinet is hidden anyway!) With the fireplace at the heart of it, this could be an additional sitting room, a home office, play room for the kids, breakfast room or more. You'll find the flow of this home combines open plan living well meaning you can make the most of the space. To finish off this room there is a handy storage cupboard under the stairs.

To the front of the house is the living room with the bi folding doors to close it off. This snug is a space where you can simply sit and relax in the evenings after work enjoying Netflix with a glass of wine. Again storage has been considered with build in cupboards and shelves in the alcoves.

Now the rear of the house has been opened and extended with a truly modern feeling but hints towards the features so you have a huge rooflight hinting at the modern sat alongside the exposed brick wall. This space is larger than you might expect and flows beautifully into the sitting room which creates an enormous living space. As mentioned though nowhere feels dark with as you have windows and skylights everywhere drawing in that lovely south eastly facing light. It goes without saying the finish in the extension is to an incredibly high standard.

Upstairs you have the large double bedroom to the front that has fitted wardrobes and space for a desk or vanity unit depending if you want to work from there or not. While the second bedroom is an ideal guest room come home office again making this the perfect work from home property. Finishing off the upper floor is the oversized bathroom that again is larger than you would expect.

Some properties on the road have converted the loft which shows how the property could grow with you over time if additional bedroom space becomes a priority. That being said with the generous ground floor extension you won't have to look at extending again down there!

The outside space is just as well sized as the house and you just wouldn't expect a courtyard style garden of this size on a terrace. Expect this to be the overflow area for the parties in the summer months when you can make the most of that south easterly sunshine. What is great about Henwood Road is the gated alley to the rear which the residents utilise and maintain further enhancing that community feel.

Vendor's favourite features: “I’ve absolutely loved living on Henwood Road. It’s incredibly well located, yet the road itself is surprisingly quiet, especially considering how close it is to both Withington and Didsbury. There’s a brilliant sense of community here too, including plenty of friendly neighbourhood cats, and the nearby park is a bit of a hidden gem. After more than five years here, I’m genuinely sad to be leaving. My family and I have put so much time, love and effort into creating a home we’re really proud of, and I hope the next owners will be just as happy here as I have been.”
