Property enthusiasts have been left utterly amazed by a stunning Victorian villa in south Manchester that boasts a cinema room, hot tub terrace, and separate coach house, all available for £1.4 million.
A Grand Victorian Restoration
The remarkable detached home, located on Alexander Road South, is described by Rightmove as "a grand and prestigious Victorian red-brick villa." Dating back to 1885, the property has undergone what the listing calls "an extensive restoration programme over the past 10 years by its current owner."
Marketed by Tyldesley-based estate agent Jamie Burke with an asking price of offers over £1,444,000, the property showcases nearly 5,000 square feet of internal living space arranged across four floors.
Lavish Interior Spaces
The main residence features no fewer than seven bedrooms alongside a series of impeccably designed reception rooms. Many bedrooms benefit from private en-suite bathrooms, each individually designed to complement the style and character of its accompanying sleeping quarters.
The ground floor comprises multiple large reception rooms and a stunning family kitchen with bespoke cabinetry and veined-marble worktops. Huge windows flood the rooms with natural light, while a spectacular sun room overlooks the picturesque gardens. This level also includes a guest bathroom and utility room.
Below ground, prospective buyers will discover a dedicated cinema room and an additional guest bedroom in the basement, which also provides plenty of useful storage space.
Bedroom Accommodations
The first floor houses three bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting a walk-in dressing room and full-size bathroom. The top floor accommodates four additional bedrooms, one of which has been transformed into an office, along with another bathroom.
Exterior Oasis
Externally, the pristine gardens have been beautifully landscaped to create what the advert describes as "the most serene and otherworldly retreat." Remarkably, Manchester city centre remains just ten minutes away despite the property's tranquil setting.
The gardens are separated into sections of seating, lawns, and even include a private hot-tub terrace to the rear. Adding to the property's appeal, the detached coach house has been transformed into guest accommodation complete with a kitchen, shower room, and mezzanine sleeping area.
Social Media Reactions
Reddit users expressed their admiration for the unique property, with one commenting: "I viewed this before Christmas, it's even nicer in person. You can tell it's loved by the owners."
Another enthused: "I absolutely love this. I dream about a house like this. Love every inch of it." A third chimed in: "I love it. I'm well on board with the eccentric colour choices too, it's like summer all year round."
However, not everyone was completely smitten with the home's distinctive charm. One user remarked: "It's obviously aesthetically pleasing, but that's the problem with it. It's clearly been designed to be zeitgeisty rather than an actual home that has accumulated stuff as people have lived in it."
The listing concludes by declaring: "This spectacular one-of-a-kind home is sure to be one of the most impressive properties you are likely to visit," capturing the extraordinary nature of this Victorian restoration project that has captured the imagination of property watchers across social media platforms.
