The pick of the 84 lots at Edward Mellor’s auction next week is probably a big, bay fronted end terrace in Ashton.
It’s immaculate, and the outside gives no clue of the character inside like the stained glass doors in the entrance hall, the fireplaces and all the original cornices and skirtings.
And it’s big, with three vast bedrooms and a separate dining room.
Entrance Hall
The owners, who have lived here for decades, are downsizing to an apartment and just want a swift chain free sale so decided not to bother with an agent and put it straight into the auction room.
It’s got a guide price of £95,000.
Louise Mc Donald from the auctioneers said: “It’s just a lovely, lovely, house and very spacious with three massive bedrooms. There are gardens and a garage in a separate block nearby.”
There are a couple of other properties worth a mention in the sale including a bungalow in a lovely setting on Copper Beech Close at Northenden.
Northenden Bungalow
Its been on the market for the past 12 months priced around £180,000 but the owner inherited the property and is keen to see it sold.
Auctioneer Nick Green said: “It is a detached bungalow in a very, very nice spot from where you can walk into Didsbury. It does need some refurbishment and there may be some potential to extend subject to planning but the site suits what it is, a true bungalow with low maintenance gardens.”
It has a guide price of £125,000
Also worth a look is an extended three bed end terrace on Oswald Road in Chorlton which has already had a lot of interest and a couple of offers but it will go under the hammer as the last lot of the day with a guide price of £175,000.
168 Oswald Road
It is currently tenanted but this is a sought after residential area and is likely to go to someone wanting to live in the area rather than an investor. There’s potential too to extend and improve the garden at the back.
The Auction is next Tuesday 13 March at Lancashire Cricket Club.
