Summary - 157 ROCHDALE ROAD SHAW OLDHAM OL2 7JN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact period home near Shaw centre ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Bright lounge with feature fireplace and laminate flooring
This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Rochdale Road pairs period charm with practical convenience. A bright lounge with a feature fireplace and a handcrafted fitted kitchen give immediate liveable appeal, while original fireplaces and exposed floorboards add character throughout.
The property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, low-maintenance home in a well-connected neighbourhood. It offers a good-sized master bedroom, a modern three-piece shower room and a secluded rear garden that could be opened up to create rear parking.
Practical points are straightforward: the home is vacant for immediate possession, lies in an area with very low crime and fast broadband, and benefits from an extremely long lease (859 years) and very cheap council tax. It would, however, benefit from cosmetic updating and energy-efficiency improvements (current EPC noted as E), which should be factored into budgets.
Overall this is a period terrace offering clear short-term rental or owner-occupier potential, with the scope to add value through modest modernisation and minor external works to improve parking and kerb appeal.
