Set on Ashton Road in Oldham, this well-presented two-bedroom end-of-terrace combines Victorian character with a sensible, modern finish. The house offers an open-plan living/dining room, a larger-than-typical kitchen and a generous rear garden — a valuable outdoor space for this property type. Presentation is tidy throughout and the home is ready to move into, making it a sensible option for first-time buyers or investors seeking immediate let potential.
Practical strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and very low local crime. The long lease (948 years) and nominal ground rent (£2 per annum) remove common leasehold anxieties. Council tax is described as very cheap, and the home sits close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, local amenities and transport links into Manchester.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the property is in an area classified as very deprived with a local label of “hampered neighbourhoods,” which may affect long-term resale or tenant demand in some markets. The building is solid brick as constructed (likely no cavity insulation) — improving wall insulation would require retrofit work. The house dates from c.1900–1929, so buyers should expect typical period maintenance and to check services, finishes and roof/structural details in survey reports.
Overall, this is a genuinely affordable entry point into Oldham with strong practical attributes and useful outside space. It suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in period home with scope for targeted improvement, or investors after a straightforward leasehold with long term certainty.
