This deceptively spacious three-bedroom terraced house on Oldham Road is offered chain free and has been recently modernised throughout, making it an attractive move-in-ready option for first-time buyers. Neutral decor, modern kitchen fittings and two reception rooms create flexible living space for couples or small families. A cellar provides useful storage and a rear yard offers low-maintenance outdoor space.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with a long 999‑year lease and a nominal ground rent of around £2 per year, and council tax sits in Band A. The house retains period character externally while internally presenting a simple, modern finish — ideal for buyers wanting a turn-key home without a major refurbishment project.
Buyers should note a few material issues to verify: sources within the listing conflict on heating (one description mentions a combi boiler and another lists electric room heaters), so confirm the heating system and service history. The property is constructed with solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) which can affect insulation performance and running costs. The immediate area is identified as a higher-deprivation neighbourhood, so consider local services and longer-term area prospects when deciding.
Overall this Victorian mid-terrace presents a practical, affordable entry to the market. It suits first-time purchasers or investors seeking a well-presented rental opportunity close to local amenities and transport links; just verify heating and insulation details before committing.
