The new meets the old - a grand semi-detached Victorian home, circa 1880's, modernised and transformed with an exquisite double storey architectural extension. As you enter through the imposing original front door, you are instantly drawn back to Victorian times by the pine flooring, restored beam, 3 metre high ceilings and well-preserved ornate ceiling rose. Through the hallway you are met by a spacious formal living room with Morsø wood burning stove, bay window looking out over attractively planted front gardens, and a morning room, with bay window overlooking the attractive rear garden. Amongst the many original Victorian features, you will see double step skirting boards, pine floorboards, cornices, and ceiling roses. In the hallway you will find a staircase leading to the flagged, dry, cellars, which run underneath the entire house. They have good headroom and natural light and are suitable for conversion into additional living space. The remainder of the period part of the home comprises an elegant staircase leading to four spacious bedrooms all with the original Victorian features from when the home was first built.

The transition from the old part of the house to the new comes with beautiful flow as you are welcomed by Spanish Porcelanosa floor tiles throughout the expansive informal open plan dining and kitchen area. Floor-to-ceiling windows give an abundance of natural light, accentuating the contemporary feel. In keeping with the whole home, the modern kitchen has been finished to the highest of quality throughout. It has Corian work surfaces, Siemens integrated appliances and best of all, underfloor heating.

Outdoors to the rear garden, which has been expertly designed and landscaped and well maintained by the owner. There is also ample space for garden furniture and it would be suitable for al fresco dining and BBQs.

Level 2 reveals a sense of luxury ambience, with four well-presented bedrooms with their original sash windows, fireplaces, high ceilings, ceiling roses, cornices, skirtings, and fireplaces. The main bedroom includes two fitted wardrobes offering considerable storage. The other three bedrooms are all doubles, with original fitted storage cupboards, and room for additional freestanding wardrobes. The original house opens out into the contemporary extension, which has under-floor heating, and includes the family bathroom, with freestanding roll top bath, Duravit wash basin and W.C. There is a separate shower room, which has extensive white tiling, a walk-in Hansgrohe shower, and Duravit wash basin and W.C. Positioned to the rear of the extension is the study, which has a picture window overlooking the lovely rear garden.

Located in a quiet, low traffic street where neighbours greet you by name, this home is a 5 minute stroll to the heart of Didsbury Village, close to numerous schools, shops, restaurants and transport links. This significant period home is something special: grand, ornate, with a perfect blend of historic and contemporary architectural design. The quintessential family home you dream of, ready to move in and enjoy.
