The Property
Extended Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Home with Beautiful Open-Plan Living in Didsbury

A characterful home with room to grow, a fantastic extended kitchen and living space, and Didsbury life right on the doorstep.

Blending traditional charm with stylish modern living, this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a wonderful balance of character, space and everyday practicality. The standout feature is the impressive rear extension, where an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area creates a welcoming heart to the home, filled with natural light and designed for everything from busy mornings to relaxed evenings with friends.

Inside, the property combines a separate lounge, a contemporary kitchen and a thoughtfully arranged first floor. Outside, a private garden and driveway parking add to the appeal. And with Didsbury Village, local schools, green spaces and excellent transport connections all close by, there is plenty to enjoy both at home and in the surrounding area.

A warm welcome

Step inside to an inviting entrance hall, with a useful ground-floor WC and stairs leading to the first floor. To the front, the living room is a lovely place to unwind, with a large bay window drawing in daylight and adding to the home's traditional character. Whether it's a quiet evening with a book or a film night on the sofa, this separate reception room offers a comfortable space away from the buzz of the kitchen.

The heart of the home

To the rear, the property opens into an impressive extended kitchen, dining and living space that really brings the home together. Stylish fitted units provide plenty of storage, while a central island creates a natural gathering point for preparing meals, catching up over coffee or entertaining guests. White granite-effect worktops and integrated appliances complete the contemporary look.

There is ample room for a dining table and chairs, alongside a relaxed seating area, making the space as practical for everyday life as it is for hosting. Overhead skylights bring in extra daylight, while the striking tri-fold doors connect the interior with the garden beyond. Open the doors on a sunny day and the whole space feels even more connected to the outdoors.

It's a versatile room with space to cook, eat, work, unwind and spend time together, all without feeling crowded.

Space for everyone

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms, comprising two well-proportioned doubles and a generous single. The rooms offer flexibility for sleeping, working from home, hobbies or additional storage, depending on what life calls for.

A modern family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation, providing a fresh, contemporary space for the daily routine.

Outside space to enjoy

At the front, a private driveway provides off-road parking for two cars, making coming and going that little bit easier. A side gate leads through to the attractive rear garden, which has been landscaped with a combination of lawn and a large flagstone patio.

There is room to enjoy a morning coffee outdoors, fire up the barbecue when the weather allows or simply relax in the fresh air. The patio also offers a great setting for outdoor dining, while the lawn provides a lovely green backdrop to the extended living space.
