This chain-free mid-terraced Victorian house offers a straightforward entry onto the property ladder or a low-cost buy-to-let opportunity. The long lease (about 770 years remaining) and a nominal ground rent of £8.15 per year simplify ownership and reduce ongoing charges.
The layout includes a small lounge, kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a bathroom across approximately 642 sq ft. The house has double glazing and gas central heating, but many internal finishes are dated and will benefit from modernisation. The EPC rating is E.
Location is convenient for local shops, supermarkets and schools. Oldham town centre is around a 10-minute drive and Hollinwood Metrolink is approximately a 20-minute walk, providing direct access into Manchester. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area classed as very deprived with local ‘hampered neighbourhoods’ characteristics; nearby schools vary in performance. Structural walls are original solid brick with no known insulation, so thermal upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. This is a practical project for first-time buyers wanting a low-entry cost or investors seeking rental income after refurbishment.
