This mid-20th-century stone terrace offers a compact, well-laid-out three-bedroom home suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property measures approximately 772 sq ft and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a pleasant rear garden — practical features that reduce immediate maintenance costs and make the house move-in ready.
Internally you’ll find a medium-sized lounge with exposed beams and a feature fireplace that give character, a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary family bathroom. Two double bedrooms plus a single make this a sensible family starter or a flexible rental unit; the layout works well for a small household or someone needing a home workspace.
Practical considerations: the house is leasehold (785 years remaining) and on-street parking is the only parking option. The immediate area is described as deprived with blue-collar terraces, which can affect resale speed and long-term capital growth compared with more affluent locations. Council tax is very low and broadband speeds are fast, which supports remote working and tenant appeal.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry into Rochdale with genuine rental or personal-use potential, this property represents clear value. It’s best suited to purchasers who prioritise location convenience, low running costs and incremental improvement rather than a turnkey premium home.
