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
Francis Road, Irlam | A Prime Opportunity on a Substantial Corner Plot Positioned in one of Irlam’s most sought-after residential pockets, Francis Road represents a rare and exciting opportunity for those looking to craft their dream home.
This cherished property has been a well-loved residence for many years and is now ready for a fresh chapter and a comprehensive program of modernisation.
It is the ideal "blank canvas" for a buyer with a vision, offering the perfect balance of traditional proportions and incredible future potential.
The ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance hallway that leads into a bright dining room on the right. Back off the hall leads to the lounge.
The two rooms have the potential to open into one expansive, dual-aspect living and dining area, perfect for modern family life and entertaining.
The kitchen is of good size which is to the rear of the property. Moving to the first floor, the home continues to impress with its sense of space.
Unlike many properties of this type, it features three generously sized bedrooms, all of which offer the footprint required for comfortable double rooms.
These are served by a central shower room, which could easily be reimagined as a stylish, modern family bathroom. The true "X-factor" of this property lies in its prominent corner position.
The substantial plot offers wrap-around gardens that provide far more outdoor space than the average home in the area.
This extra land isn't just for gardening enthusiasts; it offers significant scope for a sizeable extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions), allowing the new owners to potentially add a fourth bedroom, a garage, or a large kitchen-diner without compromising the garden.
The location is arguably one of the property's strongest selling points.
Everything you need is quite literally on your doorstep: Leisure & Nature: A short stroll takes you to the beautiful Prince's Park, offering vast green spaces and walking routes.
Transport & Commuting: Excellent connectivity with Irlam Railway Station nearby, providing direct links to Manchester and Liverpool, alongside easy access to the M60 and M6 motorways.
Amenities: You are perfectly placed for local shops, cafes, and highly-regarded schools, making it an ideal spot for growing families.
Francis Road is a solid, traditional home with "good bones," sitting on a plot that offers more growth potential than almost anything else currently on the market.
It is a rare chance to invest in a premium location and add significant value through renovation.
