This newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached house on Chatburn Avenue offers a straightforward entry for first-time buyers or young families seeking move-in-ready accommodation. Recent upgrades to flooring and decor make the property pleasant and practical while retaining period bay-window character and a welcoming porch. The plot is generous, with manicured lawns to the front and a private rear garden ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Located in Castleton with fast transport links (near Castleton station and the M62), the home suits commuters to Manchester. Local amenities include sports facilities, playgrounds and regular bus services; mobile signal and broadband are both strong. Council tax is very low, which helps keep running costs down.
Notable practical points: the house dates from the 1950s–1960s and is constructed with cavity walls that are assumed to lack insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards despite mains gas boiler and radiators. There is a single family bathroom for three bedrooms. The wider area is classified as deprived, and while several nearby schools are rated Good, some local schools have room for improvement.
Overall this property represents a solid, affordable opportunity for buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home with outdoor space and strong connections to transport. Buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation) and be aware of the single bathroom when comparing to alternatives.
