Professional house shares in West Didsbury.
West Didsbury is the western part of Didsbury in south Manchester, around Burton Road, Lapwing Lane and Palatine Road. Burton Road is its main street of independent shops, bars and restaurants, and it has two Metrolink stops, West Didsbury and Burton Road, with trams into the city centre.
Living here
Burton Road has kept the chains at bay. Part of West Didsbury is the Albert Park conservation area, where development, building alterations and tree pruning are restricted. For green space, Marie Louise Gardens, a small park opened in 1903, is on Palatine Road towards Didsbury. The former Withington Town Hall on Lapwing Lane, completed in 1881, is Grade II listed.
Getting around
Trams from the West Didsbury stop, beside Palatine Road, and the Burton Road stop run through Withington and Chorlton to St Peter's Square in the city centre in about 20 minutes. The 41, 43, 143 and 147 run along Palatine Road and up Wilmslow Road through Withington, Fallowfield and Rusholme to Oxford Road, about 20 to 25 minutes to the University of Manchester, and the 43 runs through the night. The 111 from Burton Road also reaches Oxford Road.
Good to know
The Christie, one of the largest cancer centres in Europe, is the next stop up Palatine Road on the 41 and 43, and Withington Community Hospital is by Burton Road. Didsbury Mosque occupies a former church on Burton Road.

HMO management in West Didsbury.
Own a shared house or HMO in West Didsbury? It's one of the areas we cover from our office on Dickenson Road. We find and reference the tenants, collect the rent, handle repairs and keep the licence and safety certificates in date. Or we do just the part you want help with.
HMOs here are licensed by Manchester City Council. A house let to five or more people who form two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence, and some streets are also covered by selective licensing. Since 2011, turning a family home into a shared house anywhere in Manchester has needed planning permission (an Article 4 direction). We can apply for the licence and keep it in date.
