A well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace on Milford Avenue, offering straightforward, low-maintenance living in central Oldham. The house has gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C, so it's warm and economical to run. Accommodation includes a comfortably sized reception room, fitted kitchen-diner, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. Externally there is a small forecourt and an enclosed rear yard.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into the market or an investor looking for a compact buy-to-let with nominal holding costs (council tax band A, ground rent £2). The long lease (894 years) removes common leasehold timing concerns. Practical local advantages include very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for working from home.
Buyers should note the constrained plot and compact room sizes typical of Victorian mid-terrace homes; the rear yard is small rather than a full garden. The wider area is classed as very deprived/hampered aspiration, which may affect resale growth compared with stronger neighbourhoods. The house appears well maintained but offers limited outside space and may benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise rental or resale value.
In short: a tidy, economical two-bedroom terrace ready for immediate occupation or letting, with clear pros (low running costs, long lease, central location) and some trade-offs (small plot, wider area deprivation) to weigh when deciding to view.
