It's here, it's waiting for you - this is a great opportunity for first time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. This feels like the quintessential Chorlton starter home, two bedrooms, two reception rooms, scope to extend, packed full of those period features and all topped off being just around the corner from Beech Road and catchment for Brookburn Primary School.

This home could be the definition of location, location, location. You are in the heart of the action of Chorlton. You are strolling distance from Chorlton Green and the conservation area which means that Beech Road with it's array of bars, shops and pubs is in your doorstep. The area has always been popular and attracts young couples, families, downsizers and more. There's more than Beech Road bars to explore though - you've got the nature reserve and all it's walks, numerous parks like Longford Park, Beech Road Park and Chorlton Park and finally you've got schools. This could be one of the envious locations for schools with Brookburn Primary and Chorlton CofE Primary as well as Stretford Grammar, Loreto High School and Chorlton High School in walking distance. Finally if you ever need to leave Chorlton you're only a 14 minute drive into Manchester city centre, 16 minute walk to the Airport line at Chorlton Metrolink Station and 20 minute walk to Stretford Metrolink Station for the Piccadilly and Altrincham line, you've got easy access to the motorway and of course the Fallowfield cycle loop.

But it's not all about location. This is a fine example of a period terrace with it's bay window to the front, feature fire places and high ceilings. The vendor has done a great job of preserving these features but don't confuse this for a dated home. It's ready to move into and let the next person put their stamp on it. You enter the home through the porch into the living room that looks a little misleading on the photos and allows space for furniture while making the most of that bay window. With time you could look at removing porch and having a larger living space or even use this as your dining room. The reception room to the rear is the traditional dining room and is the bigger of the too rooms. Again there is plenty of potential here - you could open to the kitchen, add french doors or even move the kitchen in here and use the kitchen as a dining area. With homes like this you are only ever held back by your imagination. The best use of the space in the home though has to be the office space tucked away under the stairs off the dining room. The kitchen finishes of this floor and many properties locally have extended these spaces but it is currently a smaller but perfectly formed kitchen ideal for first time buyers.

Upstairs there is a surprise while everyone knows the master bedroom is going to be very large double you might expect the second bedroom to be smaller but instead it's a great sized double bedroom with plenty of built in wardrobes over the stairs. There is also bathroom that is in good condition and means the only thing you have to worry about when you move in is where to hang the pictures. Now if two bedroom simply isn't enough several of the neighbours have added dormers to make additional space for another double bedroom and en-suite.

To the rear there is an enclosed courtyard that gets the sun as you can see in the photos and looks like the perfect spot for summer drinks and a cheeky BBQ. As mentioned there are several local examples of extensions infilling the gap between the kitchen and dining room to add that bit more space and open up but also people extending for larger galley style kitchens and more but that's the beautiful of these older terraces as they hold up well for modifications!
