I’ve just bought this lovely 2-bed flat right on the West Didsbury / Withington border on Burton Road and am currently busy turning it into a proper little home.
I’m looking for a friendly lodger to share the flat with me - since this is a live-in landlord setup, I’m really hoping to find someone who wants a warm, comfortable home rather than just a room to crash in!
Since I'm a fresh homeowner, almost everything here is brand new! I’m still working through a few little decorating bits around the flat, but the spare room itself is already kitted out with a comfy brand new ottoman double bed, a new wardrobe with built-in drawers & mirrors plus a bookcase & side table. I’ve installed a brand new curtain pole with blackout curtains for comfort.
We’ll be sharing the main bathroom, a spacious living area (which I’m planning to get a dining table for at some point) and a fully equipped kitchen - so if you enjoy cooking like me you shouldn’t need to bring a thing!
The flat is right on the West Didsbury / Withington border on Burton Road, a short walk from all the independent cafes, bars, and restaurants in both villages.
There are loads of local shops nearby & in walking distance to the Christie’s for anyone looking for a quiet space after a long shift there!
Plus, Withington Baths is right opposite - a cute Victorian swimming baths sometimes hosting local events.
• 10 min walk to The Christie Hospital
• 8 min walk to Burton Road tram stop
• 111 bus stop directly opposite the flat taking you directly to Piccadilly Gardens
• 42 / 43 / 143 bus stop 6 min walk away on Wilmslow Road
• close proximity to the motorway via Princess Parkway
• Outdoor green space behind the flat - ideal for a little picnic in the warmer months
the important legal bits (blame the lease):
• It’s a lovely, cosy double, but it isn't quite big enough for a desk setup, so not suitable for working from home.
• The block management company are super strict, so sadly no furry friends are allowed💔
• The lease also means the flat is strictly smoke and vape-free, and a total no-go for drugs.
• Rent: £700 a month (all bills included)
• Parking: I have a dedicated parking space with the lease and I currently don’t own a car so the space would be yours
• Deposit: One month's rent (£700) upfront
I work from home 2/3 days a week and spend some of my evenings and weekends studying to be an accountant - though I’ve got under a year left to go, so the finish line is officially in sight!
When I’m not buried in textbooks, I’m usually out at run club or trying to get back into aerial hoop.
I’m an introverted extrovert so I sometimes love nothing more than cooking a good meal and putting on some trash TV with a cup of tea and snacks, while other times I'm dancing around the flat to old-school dance music.
I'm also pretty competitive and would love nothing more than a board game night or a friendly game of Monopoly!
I enjoy having friends over for dinner or casual drinks from time to time, so it's a warm, social home, while still being a peaceful place where we can both have our own space to unwind.
If you’re a clean, friendly professional looking for a fresh, looked-after place in a brilliant South Manchester spot, drop me a message with a bit about yourself, what you do, and when you're looking to move!
