The bets place to start with this though is French - maisonette literally means "little house" and that's exactly what a maisonette is! They are privet flats or apartments that have their own entrance with no communal space meaning its a small but perfectly formed home ideal for downsizers and first time buyers. What sets this apart from the majority of apartments is that feeling of privacy and being nestled down Friars Road with just the Sale Nomads Society in front this will feel like your own quaint cottage away from the hustle and bustle! The other big difference between maisonettes and apartments is the service charges - while apartments can be in the thousands every year this one is currently around £70 PCM with no ground rent!

Before we look anymore what this amazing property offers, lets look at the location. This chain free maisonette is right in the heart of Sale Town Centre putting you in the middle of the action - you're a 8 minute walk from the Metrolink, 3 minute stumble from Stanley Square, 1 minute stroll from Kelsall Park, less than a mile from Ashton Upon Mersey Village and Sale Grammar School. What more could you ask for from a location. This means you've got all the bars and restaurants like Petisco, Rum Rabbit Run and Canteena on your doorstep alongside established independent shops like Style Junkie and Petites Modes all topped off with the independent cinema, Maker's Market and other events held in Sale Town Centre. Sale living is more than just bars and schools though, you have shows and opportunities to join at Sale Nomads Society next door, adventure experiences from Grip Adventure on the canal as well as Kelsall Park just behind with Walkden Gardens and Worthington Park a short walk away too. If you are unfortunate enough to have to commute out of Sale for work this couldn't be easier with excellent motorway networks, Metrolink and bus routes on your doorstep and of course the cycle path on the canal providing easy access into Manchester and Altrincham. It's obvious to see why Sale is regularly voted amongst the top places to live in the UK.

Back to this property though, you'll access it from the gate front garden into the long entrance hall with provides access to all the rooms as well as the handy storage cupboard! The property is currently tenanted, it has the potential to generate approx. £1250 PCM in the current market and the tenants have done a great job adding their own flair and style making the property virtually turn key.

The living room is to right off the hallway overlooking the front garden from the large box bay window. Particularly generous in size this is a great space to relax in the evenings and nothing shows the size off better than the two sofas and separate chair the room currently holds with ease! Backing onto the living room is the fully fitted kitchen with recently installed boiler. This offers views over the back of the property and again feels perfectly formed with space for a small breakfast table.

The two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the hall, both big doubles and can take a double bed plus wardrobes but with the second bedroom having views over the garden this could be the ideal office space if you work from home (or maybe not do a lot of work gazing out of the window!). The bathroom finishes of the apartment and is a clean, ready to go space with toilet, sink and bath with shower over.

There is one last spark of magic though, with a south east facing garden you're going to be blessed with sunshine in this low maintenance garden. This is a private garden but offers verstiility as some residents have converted to driveways, some have lawns, some have decking while this one has chosen gravel but either way you'll soak up that sun while you spend your time BBQ'ing or just chilling out with a good book.

Vendor's favourite features: “This was my first home, and I always imagined it might be my last (that’s how much I love it). There’s something truly special about the atmosphere here: a genuine village feel with a real sense of community. I’ve loved sitting in the garden, hearing the church bells ring and the local children chatting as they pass through the cul-de-sac on their morning walk to school. It’s wonderfully peaceful, yet just minutes from the conveniences of Stanley Square and the tram; perfect for an impromptu night out. The canal is also close by, making it easy to head out for a lovely walk.

The neighbours are warm and friendly, and there’s a real pride in the area; they’ve even unofficially adopted the path beside the property and transformed it into a shared garden filled with flowers for everyone to enjoy. The maisonette itself is cosy and well proportioned, and I’ve spent many happy afternoons relaxing on the sofa with the sun streaming through the lounge windows.

Although I leave reluctantly, I’m confident the next owner will enjoy this home just as much as I have.”
