This three-bedroom 1930s semi presents a rare, chain-free chance to create a modern family home. The open-plan kitchen/diner looks out over neighbouring playing fields, giving a peaceful rear aspect and an airy feel to the living space. A gated driveway and low-maintenance rear garden add practical outdoor areas for family life.
The house requires renovation throughout, so it will suit buyers looking to modernise and add value rather than those wanting a move-in-ready property. The layout includes a spacious lounge, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom plus separate WC — useful for busy households. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options within easy reach.
Important tenure and cost details: the property is leasehold (999 years from 24 June 1928) with a nominal ground rent of £2.10. Council tax is low. There is no onward chain, but buyers should plan for renovation costs and practical upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms and possibly services.
The property sits in BL8, a sought-after pocket for commuters with good transport links to Bury town centre. While the wider area is classified as deprived blue-collar terraces, recorded local crime is very low, and the home’s field views and period character make it an appealing project for families or investors aiming to refurbish for rental or resale.
