A Closer Look
Designed for long-term ownership.
A boutique collection of seventeen restored homes in one of Greater Manchester's most coveted suburban addresses. A sensitive restoration of two 1881 Victorian villas on Crofts Bank Road.
Step into refined village living with this exclusive collection of seventeen individually designed homes: twelve apartments and five two-bedroom townhouses, at the very centre of Urmston. Croft View pairs restored period character with a contemporary specification and the dependable rental fundamentals of one of Greater Manchester's most consistently performing markets.
The villas' 1881 red-brick frontage, stone arched lintels and slate roof are retained and restored in place, matched to the original specification using local material. Interiors are rebuilt to current standards of insulation and acoustic separation, and sash openings are restored, not replaced.
Croft View occupies a prominent position on Crofts Bank Road, eight minutes' walk from the station and ten from Eden Square, with central Manchester just fifteen minutes away by direct train.
From the station and Eden Square on foot to TraffordCity, Old Trafford and central Manchester in minutes.
Three of the North West's largest leisure destinations sit within a single ten-minute drive, anchored by a £4.2bn regeneration and a combined draw of more than 35 million visitors a year.
In February 2026 Trafford Council adopted the 15-year Urmston Plan, a 27-acre town-centre framework centred on Crofts Bank Road. Trafford remains among the highest-rated education authorities in England, with Urmston Grammar Academy, ranked in the top 3% nationally, less than 0.4 miles away.
Croft View sits in one of Greater Manchester's most consistently performing suburban markets, giving investors dependable income and long-term capital resilience.
Croft View suits either strategy. Most owners will run their home as a short-term or serviced let, capturing strong visitor demand from TraffordCity, Old Trafford and MediaCityUK all minutes away, where gross yields of up to 14% are achievable. The same home also sits in a dependable long-term rental market for anyone who prefers a hands-off, long-term let.
A hands-off hold in a proven family and professional rental market, with consistent demand across Urmston and Trafford.
Operated as a serviced let where permitted, capturing visitor demand from TraffordCity, Old Trafford and MediaCityUK on the doorstep.
Gross rental yields are estimates based on projected market rents and are not guaranteed. Net yields will be lower after management fees, service charge, voids and other costs. Short-term and serviced-let yields are gross and depend on occupancy, seasonality and operating costs, which are materially higher than for a long-term let, as well as any regulatory or lease conditions.
