Description
This four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house is arranged over three floors and offers substantial scope for refurbishment. Its accommodation includes two reception rooms, a separate dining room, a compact kitchen opening to a conservatory, four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. Traditional details include bay windows, picture rails and decorative coving.
The lower ground floor contains four cellar rooms. Outside, the property has enclosed front, side and rear garden areas, a driveway with off-road parking and a garage. Clifton train station is described as a short walk away, with connections towards Manchester city centre. The house is suited to buyers considering a comprehensive update, with the existing layout and additional cellar space to assess as part of their plans.

48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This four-bedroom Victorian semi has strong project potential in its traditional features, bay windows, multiple reception spaces and generous basement, with a driveway, garage and garden adding useful scope. The interiors are in poor condition across several rooms, and the kitchen, bathroom, flooring and garden all offer clear opportunities for a substantial transformation. The cellar, garage and roof-level coverings also need closer inspection before the full programme is defined.
At £350,000, the value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet because the floor area is missing. The score is therefore a low-opportunity result overall, with the scale of the work and the missing value data limiting confidence despite the house's character and space.
Key opportunities
- Rework the multiple reception spaces and four-bedroom layout to create a more contemporary family home while retaining features such as bay windows, picture rails and coving.
- The generous basement, driveway, garage and garden provide scope to improve storage, parking and outdoor use as part of a wider renovation.
- Replace the worn kitchen and bathroom finishes, refresh surfaces throughout and reclaim the overgrown garden to give the property a coherent new look.
Key risks
- Poor finishes and damaged or stained surfaces across several rooms, together with deteriorated cellar and garage areas and garden edges, make this a heavy full-interior programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a substantial schedule and careful sequencing.
- The roof-level coverings or patching warrant inspection, and the full condition of the exterior, cellar and garage is not established by the images.
