3 bed bungalow

Tucked away in a leafy pocket between Manchester's two landmark canals, No. 26 York Road is a home with real heart, nestled in a greener enclave of Grappenhall, close to the local schools and within walking distance of waterside walks and greenery. The property features a gated driveway with ample parking for two to three cars, a garage that could be converted into an office or studio, and mature, neatly maintained hedging to the front that offers a buffer of green. The home has been extended in the 1980s to add a utility room, and recent roof works and boiler replacement have ensured good stewardship.

The interior features original parquet flooring, a basket weave underfoot, and a natural stone surround fireplace in the lounge, which flows into the dining room that opens to al fresco dining in the garden. There are four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite, a light-filled utility room, a kitchen with neutral light-toned wooden cabinetry, and a paved patio that extends out across the rear of the home, accessible from multiple rooms, providing a sense of shelter and serving as a haven for wildlife.
