This early 20th-century mid-terrace offers an affordable, characterful entry into Swinton with a private gated forecourt and a sunny westerly garden. The house is compact (approximately 344 sq ft) and laid out traditionally over two storeys, making it an economical choice for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward rental potential.
Inside, the home feels bright with a front lounge featuring a period-style fireplace and a shaker-style kitchen fitted with an integrated oven and gas hob. Two bedrooms both include fitted wardrobes and the shower room is fully tiled and modern, so little immediate work is required internally. The loft is partially boarded and insulated, offering useful storage and potential to improve further.
Important practical points: the property is solid brick as built (likely without wall insulation), so heating costs may be higher unless upgraded. The exterior and front porch show signs of wear and would benefit from maintenance. Tenure is leasehold with a very long lease remaining (848 years) and council tax band A (very low), which supports low running costs. Transport links (train, bus, A580, M60) and highly regarded local schools make this a convenient location.
Overall this is a modest, move-in-ready period home that rewards buyers willing to accept a smaller footprint and invest modestly in external upkeep or energy improvements. It suits first-time buyers wanting character close to amenities, or investors seeking a lettable property near transport and schools.
