30 Highfield Road, Stretford, Manchester M32.

£225,000

Too late. SOLD!

Really spacious, fully refurbished (new plumbing, wiring, gas, water, flues, refurbished roof, re-built gable end, the list goes on and on. The Council inspected all work.) Needs decorating, but you were going to do that anyway, right? Perfectly liveable in immediately.

Unfinished project...but I'm not really sure anyone could really finish this house.....

Four (at the moment) bedroom property, with 46' drive leading to the large garage (power, light, alarmed. Painted floor). Gardens front (you could mini digger the garden away, and that would give you room for two cars, off road), and rear (100' x 23'). Spectacular views of the Stretford Meadows. South facing garden. Thoughtfully created sun trap for all you sun worshippers. You can even get rid of those tan marks, it's that private.

Note: 1 A door has been added to the top of the stairs, which when closed, could make the upstairs bathroom, & bedrooms 3 & 4 a self contained flat. Bedroom 3 would be converted to a small kitchen, and bedroom 4 would be the lounge/bedroom. Best of all, bedroom 3 is over the downstairs kitchen, and bedroom 4 is over bedroom 3! So any noise is very difficult to hear from downstairs. Got a noisy kid? Stuff him/her in their own flat & charge 'em for it!

Note 2: Room for two bedrooms in the loft, I just hadn't decided where to put the stairs! There are several options.

AMENITIES

Close to schools, both primary (10mins walk) & secondary (15 & 20mins).

Close to Stretford Mall (5mins)

Want a drink after the theatre downtown? The Metro is about a 10min walk away.

The M60 is a 2 minute drive.

The Bridgewater canal is a three minute walk for all you fishermen/kayakers (me!).

So is the Stretford Meadows, which can lead to Chorlton, via Hawthorn lane. An ideal area for kids, and to walk your dogs.

When I sit in my garden, and listen to the birdsong, and look at the trees, I find it difficult to believe I'm in one of the largest conurbations in the UK (see the view from the back bedroom!)

This house is so full of potential, it's unreal. I cannot maintain my gutters, and I'm getting old! So it has to go!
