Levenshulme is everything we like in a neighbourhood: proper terraces, proper community and a furniture scene that keeps our van busy. The antique mile on Stockport Road moves an extraordinary amount of wardrobes and dressers every week.
Most Levenshulme homes are two up two down or bay fronted terraces, which means narrow halls, straight staircases and street parking that fills up after school run. None of it is new to us, we grew up moving through streets exactly like these.
Local know how, not satnav hope
Our van is based at 10 to 15 minutes from here, and we have moved enough homes in this postcode to know the streets, the parking and the property types without a second look. Every job gets the same gear and the same straight price, quoted before we leave the yard.
