Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house offers 909 sq ft of accommodation, with two separate reception rooms and a fitted kitchen on the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is in Withington, with transport links nearby and Didsbury, West Didsbury and Withington village within reach. The listing identifies scope to add value or extend, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents; feasibility would need to be checked. Outside, there is off-road parking at the front, alongside resident on-street parking, and a private rear garden with fenced boundaries. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with under-stairs storage, a bay-fronted dining room and a separate rear living room. The kitchen completes the ground floor.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This clean, well-kept three-bedroom semi offers a light-touch value-add project rather than a full refurb. The two reception rooms, bay-fronted character, driveway and generous private garden give it a strong starting point; there’s scope to refresh the older-style kitchen and bathroom finishes and tidy the weathered paving. The listing also mentions possible extension subject to planning permission, though feasibility is not established.

The main constraint is the price: at £435/sq ft, the asking price is above the local average of £392/sq ft. With the renovation allowance included, all-in costs look tight against local benchmarks, so this is a better fit for a buyer who values the location and layout than one relying on a clear margin from cosmetic improvements.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older-style kitchen and bathroom finishes while keeping the project light-touch.
  • Make incremental improvements to the generous private garden, including the weathered paving and informal planting.
  • Explore the listing’s stated extension potential, subject to planning permission and feasibility.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sq ft average, limiting value headroom.
  • Purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks.
