This extended three-bedroom end-of-terrace offers spacious, well-proportioned living over two floors and sits within easy walking distance of Stalybridge town centre and transport links to Manchester. The large lounge, separate dining room and long kitchen provide flexible space for family life and entertaining, while the enclosed rear garden is low-maintenance and private.
The house is a practical choice for first-time buyers or growing families seeking room to spread out without a major price tag. At 1,183 sq ft and freehold tenure, it combines size and ownership simplicity; council tax is notably low, which helps running costs. Commuters benefit from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and nearby bus and train services.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived and described locally as ‘hampered aspiration’, which can influence resale and future investment. The property dates from the 1950s–1960s and has cavity walls assumed to have no insulation; some updating and insulation work may be needed to improve energy efficiency and comfort. There is a single family bathroom and a small plot size compared with some neighbouring homes.
A straightforward viewing will show the home’s scale and potential. For buyers prioritising space, transport links and low immediate costs, this house presents good value — provided you factor in likely retrofit work (insulation, possible modernisation) and the local socioeconomic context.
