Quick! A house on one of Manchester’s most sought-after streets has just gone up for sale and by owning it you can be a part of living history.

Anita Street near Ancoats is a real-life time capsule transporting residents and passers-by back to the 19th century.

Originally branded ‘Sanitary Street’ over the years the road has lost the ‘S’ and ‘ry’ parts of its name, making it sound much more homely.

The houses on this street were trailblazers back in the day, becoming the first council-owned housing to have a sewage system and indoor plumbing in Manchester, hence its old title.

Now, you can get involved with creating your own future on this street with a listing for a house on this popular street uploaded at the start of this month.

The property, which is a spacious two-bedroom maisonette with parking, has a guide price of offers over £310,000.

The floor plan for this living space displays a very practical set-up with both bedrooms on the left-hand side and facilities such as the bathroom and kitchen on the right.

As you enter through the front door there is a corridor running through the whole property with a communal living room and second bedroom at the end of the hall-esque walkway.

This rare find is even available to first-time buyers or anyone looking for a buy-to-let opportunity in a location that has gained quite a big reputation for itself.

Although the exterior street and attached houses are very much original to their 1897 foundations, the surrounding areas offer a handful of cute vendors to visit and enjoy.

Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or pizza lover, being so close to Ancoats will come in handy with coffee shops and one of the OG Rudy‘s so close by.

It’s not the only property to have been recently listed on this rich road positively dripping with heritage.
