This well-kept Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, practical layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms and an occasional attic room, providing flexible space across three levels. A new gas boiler was fitted within the last two years.
Externally there is a small forecourt and a private rear garden with patio and artificial turf, useful for low-maintenance outdoor space. The house sits in an established urban location with local shops, schools and Metrolink access nearby, making daily travel and amenities straightforward.
Important practical points are clear: the home is leasehold (very long lease of 830 years) with a nominal ground rent of £1, and it currently has an EPC rating of E. The property’s original solid-brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect heating costs and future retrofit potential. The shower room is compact and finishes are modest, so buyers seeking modern luxury should expect some updating.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry-level home with good transport links and rental potential. It suits someone wanting a ready-to-live-in starter property with scope to improve energy efficiency and interior finishes over time.
