Editorial fit: FamiliesEditorial fit: Space Seekers

Higher Blackley is about as suburban as Manchester gets. Surrounded by green space including Boggart Hole Clough and Heaton Park on its border, it feels more like a small town than part of a major city. Property is affordable, space is generous, and there's a genuine village feel.
