Hidden away from the beating heart of Manchester city centre, lies the city`s best kept secret, St John`s Gardens. Here once stood St John`s Church, erected in 1769 by the son of a poet, Edward Byrom, it served its congregation for more than 160 years before being demolished in 1931. It was the first significant building in Manchester to be constructed in the Victorian Gothic style of architecture and the tower contained a pearl of eight bells. In 1932 the land was redeveloped to offer a formal garden which is now home to a stone cross commemorating the church. An area of tranquillity for this owner occupied community, the well maintained gardens complement Porchfield Square and neighbouring buildings.

Located on the top floor and benefiting from plantation shutters throughout, this modernised property benefits from a bright dual aspect and would be ideal for an owner occupier looking to reside within an established neighbourhood environment.

Property briefly comprises: entrance/hallway with storage cupboard; open plan lounge/diner with Juliet balcony onto residents garden; stylish kitchen with integrated appliances and tiled splash back; two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes; refurbished bathroom.

The property further benefits from a private internal store room located on the ground floor and private garage. Additional parking is available on the forecourt in front of the garage. For visitors, you are allocated two permits.

A rare opportunity, this property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
