Summary - 81, Cowhill Lane OL6 6HH
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact starter home near Ashton town centre with garden and strong transport links.
Bright two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with period features
A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in a convenient Ashton-under-Lyne location, suited to first-time buyers or investors. The house keeps period character — high ceilings, bay window and stained glass — while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing. The easily maintainable enclosed rear patio is a useful outdoor space in a small plot.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance vestibule, bright lounge, kitchen/diner with under-stairs storage, two first-floor bedrooms and a large three-piece bathroom. The property has been presented to a good standard in parts, making it possible to move in and personalise rather than undertake a full renovation.
Notable practical points: the EPC is D and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may affect running costs. There are signs that the living room and radiator area could need attention for potential damp; buyers should factor in remedial works or survey advice. The home is small (c. 595 sq ft) and suits those wanting an affordable starter home or a buy-to-let in a well-connected urban area.
Local amenities and transport are strong selling points: short walk to Ashton town centre, Metrolink and Ashton station for easy commuting to Manchester and beyond. Council tax is in the lowest band (A), and crime is recorded as very low, but the surrounding area is classified as very deprived which may influence long-term resale and rental considerations.
