4 bed detached house for sale

Netherwood Road, Manchester M22

The term family home gets thrown around a lot but what do you really want from a family home? Gardens? Open plan living? Well maybe not that open plan! Utility room? Adult space for the evenings? Home office? Large bedrooms? Space for grandparents when they visit? Big gardens? Schools? Parks? Quiet neighbourhood? Easy access to work? Ready to move into? Well they can be hard to roll into one but today is your lucky day and the perfect family home has just hit the market. The sheer scale of this home will not come across easily on film and you will have to make sure you attend to appreciate just how this will work for you and your family with approx. 180 m2 (1937sqft) of living space to explore!

Estate agents love talking about ticking boxes and hitting the right notes but this is the sort of home that does the talking for itself. It feels like a truly executive home in one of South Manchester's hottest postcodes and on one of most sought after, tree lined roads in Northenden. This is the sort of home that you have to be quick to make your own because when they come up they don't hang around long and the owners stay in them a long time.

It's easy to see why though, Northenden is just in the ideal setting where are close enough to the action to enjoy it but far enough away that you have your own piece of paradise to come back to (and trust me when I say that garden really is a slice of heaven!). Netherwood Road has to be one of the premier addresses in the area though, you can see this is the grand properties along the road with a real mix of demographics from young families, professionals and retirees. You get the best of both worlds by being placed a short stroll from the bustling high street but an even shorter walk to the park for the kids or a stroll down the Mersey for the dogs. Northenden has evolved in recent years from being the cheaper alternative to Didsbury or Sale to being the hotspot for buyer's locally looking to delve in the character of the Village. Nowhere is this reflected better than the high street which now has a strong mix of independent restaurants like Oh My Pho and Jai Kathmandu, cafes like Boxx2Boxx, pubs and bars like Northenden Untapped and Lounge About as well as a array of shops. These all sit nicely amongst the chains like Tesco, Costa and Greene King pubs. If green spaces are more your thing you can find idyllic strolls along the River Mersey towards East or West Didsbury, or even through the village towards St Wilfrid's Church. There are also several parks locally and the transport links are another huge reason for people flocking to the area with easy access into Manchester Airport, the universities and Media City. Further afield Didsbury is a short taxi ride away if you're looking to go for a night out there similarly Sale with it's new Cinema or Chorlton with it's unique Highstreet are a very short commute away.

Back to this double fronted home though, it was fully renovated in 2018 to bring it up to date and to the standard that the location and plot deserve. You can now simply move in and hang up your photos, a true turnkey home. The hard work has been done for you such as a new roof, rewiring and all those other tedious jobs other houses need. However there is scope for further development if needed - that loft space is prime for conversion meaning you could add a master suite, teenager's hangout, another home office or whatever else you can think of up there.

You are welcomed off Netherwood Road onto the large driveway with space for several vehicles and a front garden, the vendor has maintained the high hedging at the front which gives the property a private feel and when you step foot inside you feel like you could be anywhere in the world! If that isn't what a family home is all about, I don't know what is! With the porch on the front you have plenty of space to hang coats, school bags and shoes which frees up the entrance hall to be clutter free, giving the first glimpse of the true scale of this home. You've got access to all the living space off the hallway alongside a handy downstairs WC!

To the left you have the first reception room which is currently used a snug but with that feature bay window it's crying out to be utilised as the adult only zone! Imagine curling up on the sofa in the colder months watching Netflix while the kids cause havoc in another room. You've also got the home office on the other side of the house that replicates the bay window for the front, this is a lot larger than you would expect! This shows the versatility of the home though, while this is currently used as a home office it could easily be a spare bedroom, a play room, a cinema room, a games room or even a gym! You really can make this home work for you and your family.

To the rear of the house you have the heart of the home. This is the kitchen dining space that dreams are made of -from the oversized kitchen island to the range of built in appliances to the huge bi folding doors to the snug space for relaxing - this space has it all. Being the heart of the home you have the space to make this room work for you. You could put the dining table by the bi folds, you could add a play space, you could have a table set up for homework or working from home, you could even go as far as chucking a pool table in there. Whatever you do just imagine the parties that could be thrown here be it Christmas dinner or summer when you throw the bi folds open. This is free flow from inside to out, living space to entertaining space has been perfect for the current vendor and their young children. There is a little secret hidden behind the kitchen though (well big secret really) - there is a utility room that matches a household of this size! Every family knows you need a dumping ground and a washing room combined, this is going to be the room you didn't know you needed until you have it, with easy access to the driveway too you can make this your boot room and cycle room too.

Now upstairs, you have a feature galleried landing that is again bathed in natural light but you also have access to the bedrooms. The bedrooms are a great size throughout, there will no squabbling about bedrooms when you move in here. You have the large principle bedroom with modern en-suite, built in storage and views to die for over the garden, you have the teenagers room on the other side of the house which again has it's own en-suite and views but is far enough away from the parents they have their own privacy, another double bedroom at the front with dual aspect windows and finally the fourth bedroom that has it's own built in storage and views over the garden. That fourth bedroom could be the perfect home office space if you end up converting the reception room below. This floor is finished off with the large family bathroom that has the bath we all need with kids and the large free standing shower cubicle.

Now the bit you've been waiting for is just out back, the garden could be the star of the show here! It wraps around both sides providing an excellent hiding spot for the shed on one side and a gated driveway on the other but the back itself is a mix of play area, patio, decking and lawns. It is fenced on all sides but has the massive benefit of having a private woodland to the side that provides the shade you need in the summer months without being intrusive. This treeline vista really finishes off the feeling of privacy for this house, this could be your sanctuary from the madness of the family inside while you relax with a brew similarly it's the perfect space to safely throw the kids out to play while you prepare tea. As perfect and idyllic as it is at the moment, the versatility starts showing through again. You could look at extension work, adding a home office pod, potentially an annexe for grandparents, storage for work goods at the front or the pièce de résistance the Instagrammable hot tub with pergola over the top. Honestly though with a space like this the only thing that is certain is that you'll become the host of the family and friend events.

Vendor's favourite features: "Where to start….we love this house! It’s the place where all of our kids were born and we have had an amazing time here. The garden is one of the best features, birds singing, squirrels playing, really private, so much room for the kids to play. We have also loved big family get togethers, cooking Christmas dinner in this kitchen and having about 12 people in that space without it feeling overcrowded – it’s a great party space. We hope that the new owners will love the next chapter of the house just as much as we have ours.’’
