A house in Greater Manchester was swept off the market less than a week after being put up for sale - despite having a hefty price tag. The 'time capsule' property in Altrincham, Trafford, which has been in the same family since the 60s, proved to be a hit with buyers looking for a big project.
"This is the opportunity of a lifetime, well 60 years at least," said Gareth. "This uniquely designed, detached property has been in the same family since the 1960s and the opportunity is only as big as your imagination given the size of plot, location and current property condition. Gareth said: "This home is situated in a real hotspot. Altrincham town centre has undergone masses of change over the years with the high street transforming into a thriving community space with a range of independent and corporate bars, shops and restaurants.
"The plot is hidden away behind high trees to the front but behind it reveals a larger than expected space with the current home built to one side of it leaving potential as huge as the plot," Gareth says. "On the other side of the hallway there are three reception rooms that have been opened into one another provided a great flow. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms as well as an oversized bathroom which could be split up to accommodate an en-suite."
