2 bed terraced house for sale

Urmston Lane, Stretford, Manchester M32

Can you imagine the perfect property, combined with the ideal location and sprinkled with a few extras, all wrapped up with no chain? Well it might be time to stop imagining because this home on Urmston Lane has everything you could want and more!

Believed to have been built around 1850, this gorgeous terraced home is a prime example of the architectural style of the time. From high ceilings to feature fireplaces, this home is packed with history that has sympathetically been brought into the 21st century by the current vendor. This is the sort of home you can simply move in, drop your bags, make a brew and enjoy - a real credit to the current vendor.

There have been some major changes to the home such as the driveway being installed which feels like a must have for modern buyers but also the aesthetic choices throughout the home seamlessly blend modern and original. The star of the show though has to be that art deco bathroom which we'll come to soon!

Accessed off the driveway to the front, the house starts with an internal porch then into the tiled hallway. The tile choice is amazing and instantly sets the tone of the entire home and leads onto the dining room. The two reception rooms are larger than you would expect from other terraced homes, which is understandable when the property is just under 1000 SqFt in total. The two rooms are open to one another creating a lovely bright space with an excellent flow. The front reception room is currently set up as the living room with a log burner set into the feature fireplace, imagine putting that real Christmas Tree up in here, it's going to look fantastic! The rear reception room offers views over the garden with the exposed brick chimney showing off the glory of the original features. Under the stairs there is a handy storage cupboard but with the right know how this offers the chance to be converted into a downstairs WC. Finally, the kitchen which was installed by the current vendor finishes off the ground floor and again ties in the history of the property with the modern needs of any buyer such as the wok burner and dishwasher. With the dual aspect windows the kitchen is flooded with light and provides views over the rear garden.

Now this is where the property starts offering you scope to enhance further, some neighbouring properties have filled the courtyard space next to the kitchen to make a larger kitchen diner but this scope for extension does offer the next buyer the chance for the property to grow with them. You 'll only be limited by your imagination.

Upstairs, you're instantly greeted with that art deco bathroom with more exquisite tile choices to match the bold colours (not to mention the extra large bath!) It could be competing to be one of the best bathrooms on the market locally! There is also a handy storage cupboard with the modern boiler hidden away and space for washing machine but with the right technical skills and eye for design this could be redesigned to fit a free standing shower if needed. There are also two double bedrooms that have space for double beds, wardrobes, desks and more! This could be the ideal bedroom layout for those families with a child in the local Grammar school, however if your family is slightly larger there is definitely scope to look at a loft conversion as some other local properties have done. The loft is currently boarded with pull down ladder and the hallway space does give you scope to add a set of stairs to provide access.

With the house finished you're left with one last space to explore - that garden! When was the last time you saw a garden this big on a terraced home? No small courtyards here, you've got the combination of lawns and patio alongside hedging and trees to create the ideal paradise that matches perfectly with the house. You'll be the envy of all your friends with this space but you'll also end up being the host when the summer sun comes out again!

If the house sounds like perfection, wait until you hear about the area. Stretford has become the place to buy in South Manchester as buyers flood to the area. There are several key drivers from schools, proximity to Manchester and transport links to the revitalised high street and mall. Obviously schools are one of the main things for buyers locally and you're positioned within walking distance to Stretford Grammar School, Moss Park Primary school and more. However there is definitely a lot more to Stretford than just schools - you've got amazing green spaces like Victoria Park and Stretford Meadows to explore, a range of thriving independent restaurants and bars as well as the newly reinstated Kings Street. You've also got easy access to Manchester and further with the metrolink, canal cycle path, the road and motorway network and bus routes and that's all just the tip of the iceberg. The community in Stretford is unrivalled locally and those who move to the area are always welcomed with open arms.

Now if that doesn't sound like the ideal home I don't know what does! Make sure to pick up the phone today and quote GY0737 - Gareth Yates.

Vendor's favourite features: "Having spent 7 years at this wonderful property, i’m sad to leave but hoping someone new will get as much joy from the house as I have had. My favourite part of the house is probably the bathroom, which was a labour of love! The log burner is a delight at any time of the year, and many a friend has enjoyed a great nights sleep in the loft! It’s a really nice community with great neighbours and I hope the new owners love it as much as I have."
