3 bed terraced house for sale

Victoria Drive, Sale M33

This is a property that has a highlight reel to be envious of. It packs a punch with no onward chain, packed with character, three double bedrooms, converted loft, two bathrooms, high end finish, sought after schooling and more all wrapped up and staged to perfection to demonstrate how this exquisite period terrace can function as a first home, family home, downsize or upsize!

Starting with its location, Sale Moor has always been popular with families but as the village changes more buyers are flocking to the area. With schools such as St Anne's CofE School, Lime Tree Academy, Worthington Primary School and Holy Family Primary School all within half a mile you'll have the catchment area that dreams are made of. You've also got Sale Grammar School just around the corner. Also working off that half mile radius you are walking distance to the Metrolink and obviously have Sale Moor village on your doorstep. The village has seen new arrivals like Fibbers Magee, Porta 134 and Kickback Coffee change the high street however there is still that small village feel with several successful independents like the Taylors of Sale butchers, Stellina d'Oro jewellers and of course the pubs! You're also only a short walk from Sale and Stanley Square as well as a taxi ride away from Didsbury, Chorlton or Manchester City Centre for an evening out but if you're thinking of commuting you've got several major bus routes and the motorway network to complement the Metrolink. If exploring green spaces is more your thing you've got easy access to the River Mersey for a walk down to the Riverside Café, you've got Walkden Gardens, Worthington Park and Sale Water Park to spend time walking around and enjoying as well. Moor Nook is also on the doorstep which provides that beautiful mix of space for dog walkers, events like the recent apple festival and areas for sport too. Sale Moor does feel like the commuter's dream location given the easy access to commuter hubs like Media City, Manchester City Centre, Manchester Airport, the universities, hospitals and many, many more. Victoria Drive is renown for throwing the best street parties and having a a close knit group of neighbours meaning you've got a ready made community to be part of locally.

Now estate agents find themselves talking about homes and locations a lot but this home is a real reflection of the vendors. The vendors have poured their heart and soul into this property creating something truly special, upon opening the door you feel the warmth of a loved home that has undergone a total refurb. This house was made into a home and due to circumstances the vendors are incredibly sad to have to let it go. Given the creative backgrounds of the owners, this boutique feeling home is of no surprise. As mentioned the home is currently staged to perfection showing off the nature and flow of the home giving any buyer a good idea of how it will work for them. It's not just for show though, smart decisions were made and implemented from the loft conversion to the marble in the hall even to the Sisal carpet upstairs. Even the boring stuff like replastering on the upper floors and installing smart heating has been completed. The heavy lifting has really been done for you here so you can simply move in and enjoy the glory of having the nicest house on the road!

The property itself is set back from the road with an elevated garden to the front (which conveniently has two chairs prepped and ready to share a brew with the neighbours). Accessing the home from the garden you are welcomed into a grand hallway from the front door. The hallway offers access to the two reception rooms and is plenty large enough to fit a coat rack, sideboard or even a pram!

The two reception rooms have been opened up to create a modern flow but both retain their original doors should you ever wish to seal the rooms up again. The front room is currently set up as the living room and built around the feature fire place while being bathed in natural light from the generous bay window to the front (which also feels like the perfect home for a real Christmas tree!). Both reception rooms are framed beautifully with coving and picture rails while the rear reception room also has a dado rail. This reception room is currently set up as the dining room with a large window providing views over the courtyard. This space is versatile though with neighbouring properties reserving the living space or even using the current dining room as a play room!

The kitchen finishes off the ground floor and is complemented well with the utility room behind it which acts like a butler's pantry hiding the unsightly white goods! There is scope to look at potentially integrating the rooms to create a larger kitchen if needed or you could even look at extending to create a dining kitchen. Off the kitchen you have access to the stairs leading down to the cellar.

The cellar is currently unconverted but is a great bit of storage space. Neighbouring properties have looked to convert and utilise this space - the question would be do you add a bedroom, a living room, an office or a gym?

On the first floor the property has two large double bedrooms that both have more than enough space to fit a bed alongside numerous pieces of other bedroom furniture which is something that similar properties often struggle to do. Historically, the second bedroom has been used as an impressive home office which definitely beats working in a box room if you work from home. The second bedroom was staged as a office for the photos and a bedroom for the video to give you an idea of both layouts. Alongside the superb bedrooms you have a grand bathroom that deserves to be showcased in a home décor magazine given its splendour! Being able to accommodate that freestanding bath as well as that walk in shower and still having space for his and hers top mounted sinks and the toilet is a feat in its own right but to finish it all off with dual aspect windows dragging in the natural light as well as the high end finish with the striking tiling.

Believe it or not, we have one more floor to go! The loft was expertly converted in 2018 and again has the space for a double bed alongside bedroom furniture and eaves space with a handsome ensuite finishing off the space. By adding this space the vendors have created a perfectly balanced home with the large bedroom space that modern families crave. Between you and your teenager you may have a fight on your hands for who gets the top bedroom though! Again, bringing light into the space is the name of the game with a huge window on the dormer and a skylight in the bedroom and ensuite too.

Finally, the last stop is the rear courtyard that is a literal piece of Marbella sunshine in Manchester! With painted flags and bricks, the white in the corner of this courtyard feels more like Santorini than Sale (well maybe in summer when the sun shines again!).

Vendor's favourite features: "We’ve spent 10 wonderful years living at 7 Victoria Drive but sadly it’s time for us to move on. After first renting the house for 3 years, we offered to buy it as we loved living there so much. We put so much love and energy into transforming the house to our style, that we are incredibly sad to have to now say goodbye to it. It’s such a friendly street, in a neighbourhood with so much to offer. We will truly miss everything about it especially our neighbours who became close friends. We hope you will love the house and the experience of living there as much as we have."
