More space than first impressions suggest and plenty of potential to make it your own. This traditional three bedroom semi-detached home has been significantly extended at ground floor level, creating surprisingly generous and flexible accommodation in a popular location close to Cheadle village, well-regarded schools and excellent commuter links. Inside is a spacious through living room opening into an additional sitting/dining area, separate breakfast room and good sized fitted kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom/WC. The property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, but the existing footprint offers exciting scope to rethink and personalise the layout to create a superb contemporary family home. Outside are lawned gardens to the front and rear, together with useful off-road parking.

Sometimes the best homes aren't the ones where everything has already been done – they're the ones that give you the space and opportunity to create something of your own.

This traditional three bedroom semi detached house is a great example. From the front it appears relatively conventional, but step inside and the substantial ground floor extension becomes apparent, providing a level of living space that may come as something of a surprise.

A long through living room provides plenty of room to relax and features a bay window and fireplace, with double doors opening into an additional sitting/dining area overlooking the rear garden. Alongside this is a separate breakfast room and a generously proportioned fitted kitchen, giving the ground floor a flexible footprint with plenty of possibilities.

For some buyers, the attraction will be simply moving in and improving the house gradually. Others may immediately see the opportunity to reconfigure the existing accommodation and create a more contemporary open plan family space. Subject to the usual permissions, there may also be potential to develop the property further.

Upstairs are three bedrooms – two reasonable sized rooms and a smaller third bedroom, together with a bathroom/WC combined. Gas central heating and double glazing are also installed.

Outside, the house is complemented by lawned gardens to the front and rear, while off-road parking provides another important practical advantage.

The location should have particular appeal to families and commuters, with Cheadle village within easy reach, highly regarded local schools nearby and convenient access to the motorway network.

At the price, this isn't about paying a premium for somebody else's finished interior. It's an opportunity to buy a well located, extended family home with the space already there and the freedom to make it your own.
