A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Charlestown Road offers an affordable entry into Manchester’s north with good links to motorway networks. The property has two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a private, large rear garden — valuable for families and anyone wanting outdoor space. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already in place.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, living room, dining room with French doors to the garden, and three bedrooms upstairs served by a single shower room. The overall footprint is small (approximately 542 sq ft), so rooms feel compact; ceiling heights are standard. The home is dated in places and would benefit from cosmetic updating to kitchens, bathrooms and finishes to unlock its full potential.
Notable positives include low council tax (Band B), fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to schools, shops and transport. The property is leasehold — buyers should check lease length and any associated charges. The wider area is an urban cultural mix with high local need and pockets of deprivation, which may influence longer-term resale dynamics.
This house is most suited to first-time buyers or investors looking for a manageable project with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. Buyers wanting a move-in-perfect finish should expect to budget for modernization; those prepared to improve the property can create a comfortable family home with good outdoor space and strong connectivity.
