We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated on the ever-popular Shawbrook Avenue in Ellenbrook, Worsley, this deceptively spacious dormer-style home offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a property where many of the major improvements have already been completed, while still leaving buyers the chance to add their own style and finishing touches, particularly within the open-plan kitchen and dining area.
Externally, the property enjoys driveway parking, an attached garage and a pleasant lawned frontage, while to the rear is a generous south-facing garden backing onto mature woodland, creating a private and leafy outlook with fantastic potential for landscaping and outdoor entertaining.
Inside, the home feels bright, fresh and welcoming throughout.
A contemporary entrance hallway with modern tiled flooring leads into a cosy front lounge filled with natural light from the large picture window.
To the rear, the property opens into a substantial open-plan living, dining and kitchen space stretching across the back of the house.
The room already offers an excellent footprint for modern family living with French doors onto the garden and plenty of versatility, although buyers may wish to further enhance or complete the kitchen/dining setup to suit their own taste and lifestyle.
Upstairs, the dormer conversion provides a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a stylish modern finish, alongside a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, sleek black fittings and a walk-in rainfall shower.
The current owners have invested heavily in recent years including a partial roof replacement around a year ago with new felt and new beams, a full rewire approximately 3 years ago, recently installed gas supply, a combi boiler fitted around 3 years ago, full replastering throughout and fensa-certified windows and doors installed in 2023.
The location is ideal for families, sitting within walking distance of Outstanding-rated primary schools including Ellenbrook Community Primary School and James Brindley Community Primary School.
Excellent commuter links are also close by, including easy access to the guided busway, the A580 and motorway networks, making travel into Manchester and Salford straightforward.
Additional Information The property is leasehold with a 900-year lease commencing from 20th November 1962 and a current ground rent of just £9 per annum.
Salford City Council is the local authority, with the property falling within Council Tax Band C, currently charged at approximately £2,306 per annum.
The EPC rating and floor area are to be confirmed.
The home benefits from a combi boiler installed around 3 years ago, last serviced in 2025, along with a full rewire completed approximately 3 years ago and a full roof replacement around a year ago.
Fensa certification is in place for 6 windows and 2 doors installed September 2023.
