A compact, traditional two-bedroom Victorian terrace offering straightforward scope for improvement and immediate possession via auction. The house extends to about 694 sq ft over two storeys, with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a small rear garden and a three-piece shower room. Double glazing has been installed post-2002 and mains gas supplies the property, though heating is by room heaters. The property is offered leasehold, chain-free and will be sold at auction with a starting bid of £120,000 plus a reservation fee.
The accommodation is best suited to first-time buyers wanting a manageable renovation project or investors seeking a near-term refurbishment to increase rental yield. Internally the rooms are average-sized with standard ceiling heights; the building’s solid brick construction appears sound but likely lacks wall insulation. Cosmetic updating is required throughout — particularly the kitchen, bathroom and decorative finishes — but simple improvements should unlock uplift in both comfort and value.
Location strengths include easy road and public-transport access into Manchester City Centre and nearby Salford Quays, a selection of local amenities and several primary and secondary schools within reach. The immediate neighbourhood has very low recorded crime, fast broadband and average mobile signal. Note the area scores high on deprivation indices; buyers should factor local market sensitivities and rental demand when valuing future returns.
Practical negatives to consider: the property is leasehold and is being sold at auction (reservation fee applies), it requires renovation, there is no off-street parking or front forecourt, external maintenance and guttering need attention, and walls are likely uninsulated. For the right buyer this is a low-entry-price, no-chain opportunity with clear scope for straightforward cosmetic refurbishment or a lettable turnaround.
