A Beautifully Refurbished Period Home in the Heart of Didsbury Village

Beautifully blending period charm with contemporary design, this exceptional semi-detached home has been extensively modernised and refurbished to an impressive standard throughout. Situated along one of the quieter residential backstreets of Didsbury Village, the property offers an exciting combination of character, quality and versatility, with carefully considered interiors, attractive original-style features and stylish modern finishes.

.

From the welcoming entrance hallway to the beautifully appointed reception rooms, there is a wonderful sense of quality and attention to detail. The two principal reception areas offer excellent flexibility, with attractive wooden flooring running throughout, decorative picture rails, feature fireplaces, bespoke cabinetry and window shutters, creating spaces that can be adapted to suit individual lifestyles. The rear reception area opens towards the extended kitchen, while also providing access to the lower ground floor accommodation, which has been converted to Building Regulations and offers enormous potential as a third bedroom, home office, media room or additional living space. This is a particularly valuable feature for buyers looking for flexibility, whether working from home, accommodating guests or simply wanting additional space to enjoy.

The kitchen has been upgraded to an excellent standard, with a stylish range of contemporary fittings, integrated appliances and attractive oriental-inspired detailing. To the rear, the property enjoys a delightful enclosed courtyard garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped, with raised planted borders, attractive stone paving and a lovely seating area. With its carefully chosen planting and tranquil atmosphere, the courtyard has an almost Japanese garden feel, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat during the warmer months. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, together with a beautifully refurbished bathroom which continues the Japanese-inspired theme with ornate bamboo-effect tiling, contemporary sanitaryware and a rainfall shower. The lower ground floor further benefits from its own WC facilities and a separate fire escape window.

The accommodation therefore offers considerably more flexibility than a traditional two-bedroom period home, with the potential to create a three-bedroom arrangement if required, subject to the buyer's intended use and any necessary consents. With convenient on-road parking, excellent transport connections and the shops, cafés, bars and restaurants of Didsbury Village within easy reach, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home where period character, high-quality refurbishment and practical modern living have been brought together so successfully.
