A traditional Victorian mid-terrace in Rochdale offering straightforward rental or first-home potential. The property sits on a long lease (over 900 years) and benefits from gas central heating, recent double glazing and an efficient layout over two storeys.
Internally the house has two double bedrooms, a bright living room and a small fitted kitchen. Period features remain externally and there is clear scope to update the dated decor and modernise finishes to add value — suitable for a buy-to-let or a buyer wanting a starter home to personalise.
Practical advantages include a very low local crime rate, quick access to the train station and the M62, and nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools. The property is in a more deprived wider area but located within a comfortable neighbourhood pocket, which supports tenant demand and commuter interest.
Notable drawbacks are solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, visible external wear requiring maintenance, and relatively small kitchen space. The tenure is leasehold and council tax is very low — favourable for running costs — but buyers should confirm any lease-related obligations prior to purchase.
