The Experience
This mews cottage in popular West Didsbury is a beautifully calm home for couples or a family. 129 has been perfectly crafted in both function and form, from the underfloor air source heating and shutters rescued from a French château, to the original local art and beautiful, obscure pieces from far and wide. David is an architect and every detail, piece and picture has been carefully found, commissioned or crafted.
Cook in the sleek and well-equipped open-plan kitchen/living space, order delicious organic produce from the nearby deli, take coffee or tipples out to the terrace, set up a game of chess. Then, wind up the spiral staircase to the master bedroom; back downstairs, little ones love the Peter Pan wallpaper in the twin room. Games, music, DVDs, TVs upstairs and down… David has thought of everything.
There’s free parking, the tram stops a few minutes down the road to take you right into town, you can walk to the river and parks and it’s a hop from the airport.

Ideally I’d like to keep 129 Didsbury a secret but it’s too good not to share! Stunning interior. Superb attention to detail. Wonderful night’s sleep in an exceptional bed with the best of bed linen and pillows. Spotlessly clean. Great parking. We can’t wait to come back. Beverley Collins

129 Didsbury is a little gem with a big personality. Although the property is near a main road it is quiet inside, especially the bedrooms which are both at the back. There is generous storage and hanging space in both bedrooms. The two parking spaces immediately in front of the property are easy to access. The kitchen is of high quality and well equipped. The location is superb, just a few minutes walk to bustling Burton Road with its independent shops and restaurants and nearest tram stop, which gives easy access to the city centre. We're already planning our next visit!

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at 129 Didsbury. We had to move out of our family home for a few weeks, just after Christmas so it was really important to us to stay in a “home from home” with our family. It certainly was that! A beautiful place with such an eye for detail and everything we needed, from coffee grinder to cosy throws, to a selection of books and DVD’s; we didn’t want for anything. A minute’s walk from the lovely Burton Rd, which, even in Lockdown was bustling with its independent cafes offering various takeaway options. We would highly recommend staying here!

West Didsbury has plenty of independent cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. A short tram ride gets you into central Manchester and all its big-city offerings: sports and National Football Museum, music venues, heaps of other museums, galleries, the Cathedral, Salford Quays, Media City and more. You could easily do a day trip to Liverpool, and it's only ten minutes from the airport.
Local points of interest from David Lygate
- Some of Manchester's top restaurants are nearby & there is an eclectic mix of bars & independent shops. Combined with lovely parks and waterways makes this the ideal location for walk, run or even canoe trip!
- West Didsbury is a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport & only 4 miles from the city centre, we have a local tram stop so from the front door you can be there in 20 minutes via the tram. The network also gives easy access to Salford Quays & Media City.
- Manchester is steeped in history being the birthplace of the industrial revolution & has Britain's first Urban Heritage Park. We are also very fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful country houses & have a wealth of art galleries & museums.
- Manchester is home to two world famous football teams, the national football museum, Lancashire County Cricket, Sale Sharks Rugby Union, the aquatics centre with an olympic size pool & the Velodrome with world class cycling facilities.

Introducing
David Lygate
Scottish-born David is understandably proud of what he has created with 129 Didsbury – it’s his real passion project. He has a great eye and his award-winning architecture is all about finding a sense of calm in his buildings. He’s a bit of a live wire though – marathons, ice climbing, sea kayaking, wild swimming in Salford Quays… He and his partner Amanda (and dog Barney) live on the other side of the courtyard - so he meets and greets and is on hand if needed. He honed his hospitality skills as a ski rep in the Italian Alps in his younger days.
We loved 129didsbury, it was very comfortable and the decor was delightful with lots of attention to detail. Everything you need is there, the beds are comfy, the sofa squishy and fresh coffee beans to boot. Its beautiful and clean. Car parking is very handy just right outside the premises and the tram is 5 minutes walk away, which we used constantly. Situated near a high street makes it handy for a quick buy of provisions or a nice coffee and cake.
