Chain-free starter home with clear refurbishment potential and excellent local amenities.
Victorian bay-window and period fireplace retained
A traditional two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Orrell, offered chain free and ready for a buyer wanting character and scope to add value. The house has period features such as a bay window and original fireplace, plus a practical layout with lounge, dining area, kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide reliable heating and double glazing is fitted (install date unknown).
The property sits in a quiet, comfortable suburb with very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — handy for commuting via the nearby village station and motorway links. Local schools are highly rated and a range of independent shops, bars and amenities are within walking distance, making this a convenient base for first-time buyers or young couples.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with 880 years remaining and the rear garden is not owned, although it has been used by the current occupants for many years. Built around 1900–1929 with solid brick walls, the property likely lacks cavity insulation and would benefit from energy-efficiency improvements despite its current EPC C rating. Some interior areas show dated fixtures and offer straightforward refurbishment potential.
Overall this is a compact, characterful terraced house with clear potential to modernise and personalise. It suits buyers who want a manageable project in a well-connected, affluent neighbourhood and who understand the implications of leasehold ownership and external garden arrangements.
