This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Oxford Street offers an affordable entry into Leigh’s housing market, especially for first-time buyers willing to invest some elbow grease. The house retains period character such as a bay window and decorative brickwork, and includes a low-maintenance rear courtyard and small front garden. Rooms are an average size across about 789 sq ft, with two decent bedrooms and a combined kitchen/dining space.
The property is vacant and clearly needs updating: décor, fixtures and some repairs (including reported damp patches in the living room) should be expected. No tests have been carried out on mains services or heating, so buyers should budget for a survey and possible boiler, wiring or plumbing works. The tenure is leasehold — verify lease length and any ground rent or service charges before committing.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, nearby primary and secondary schools (several rated Good or Outstanding) and low council tax (Band A). On-street parking serves the house; there is no dedicated off-street parking. The wider area is classified as a deprived, blue-collar terrace neighbourhood, which may affect future resale values but keeps the initial asking price low.
For a pragmatic first-time buyer or small-scale investor, this property offers strong scope to add value through modernization and cosmetic refurbishment. If you want a home to personalise in a convenient Leigh location and can manage renovation costs and leasehold checks, this is a sensible, budget-friendly starting point.
