Portland Road, Eccles, Manchester
£350,000

A rare opportunity to buy a substantial freehold family home on one of Eccles’ most established residential roads. Occupying a fantastic plot with a south-west facing rear garden, detached garage and parking for up to six cars, this is the sort of property buyers wait for. Set behind mature hedging with a huge block-paved driveway and an open green outlook to the front, the home immediately feels private, spacious and tucked away from the bustle of everyday life. Inside, the accommodation is far larger than first impressions suggest, extending to over 1,080 sq ft with a versatile layout ideal for growing families. A bright front lounge provides a cosy retreat, while the rear reception room is flooded with natural light and enjoys lovely garden views through patio doors opening directly onto the lawn. The adjoining dining area creates a sociable entertaining space perfect for family gatherings, dinner parties or busy everyday living. The kitchen is practical and well maintained with cream shaker-style units, generous worktop space and views over the garden, complemented by a separate utility room and downstairs WC. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms including two spacious doubles, plus a modern family bathroom finished with clean white tiling and suite. The outdoor space is a genuine standout feature. The rear garden enjoys a sunny south-west aspect with a large lawn bordered by mature trees and established hedging, creating a peaceful and surprisingly private setting rarely found so close to excellent amenities and commuter links. There is also a detached garage, useful storage space and exceptional driveway parking. Portland Road is perfectly positioned for Monton Village, Eccles, within walking distance of Ellesmere Park High School and close to several well-regarded schools including Chatsworth High School and Community College., the motorway network and public transport links into Manchester. Spacious plots, huge parking and gardens like this are becoming increasingly hard to find.
