Set on a Victorian mid-terrace in Urmston, this freehold two-bedroom house offers a straightforward entry to homeownership or buy-to-let ownership. At approximately 786 sq ft with a small front and rear yard, the layout suits a first-time buyer wanting manageable space or an investor targeting local rental demand.
The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical features for modern living. Constructed between 1900–1929, the solid brick walls are as-built and likely uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements (cavity or internal insulation where possible) would be a sensible next step. The interior will need updating to reach contemporary standards and to deliver the advertised 6% rental yield after upgrades.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the plot is small, there is only one bathroom, and the house is in a neighbourhood classified as “hampered,” which may influence resale or tenant profiles. Photos are indicative and were taken before tenants moved in. Prospective buyers should allow budget for cosmetic modernisation and potential insulation work to reduce running costs and improve comfort.
Location is a genuine strength — a short walk to Urmston town centre, local amenities, sports and transport links, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. For buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors aiming for a value-add purchase in a busy suburban market, this property presents clear potential with a transparent list of improvement needs.
