Leasehold tenure — check remaining term and any service charges
EPC C and mains gas boiler; solid brick walls likely need added insulation

912 sq ft — compact, conventional room proportions not open-plan
Area shows high deprivation; consider local rental demand and resale factors
This three-bedroom detached cottage on Shaw Street offers a compact, practical layout across lower-ground, ground and first floors. Two reception rooms, a rear kitchen and a lower-ground utility/WC give flexible living space for a small family, home worker or landlord seeking a straightforward rental layout.
The exterior is low-maintenance brick with an enclosed rear garden and on-street parking. The property is leasehold, in council tax band B and has an EPC rating of C — efficient enough for most buyers, but thermal improvements are possible given the assumed solid-brick walls with no added insulation.
Internally the home is presented in reasonable decorative order with conventional room proportions rather than open-plan living. The lower-ground level adds useful utility and storage space; the three bedrooms and family bathroom sit on the first floor. At around 912 sq ft the footprint is typical for inner-suburban homes of this era and suits buyers wanting central Rochdale access without large garden upkeep.
Location benefits include nearby primary and secondary schools, local shops and regular bus links. Note the wider area registers high deprivation indices; buyers should consider local market dynamics. Overall this is a practical, well-located property with immediate occupancy potential and modest scope for energy and cosmetic improvements to add value.
